Between Tiny Cities រវាងទីក្រុងតូច

In Between Tiny Cities រវាងទីក្រុងតូច, dancers Erak Mith, from Phnom Penh Cambodia, and Aaron Lim, from Darwin Australia, use the rituals, movement styles and language of their shared hip-hop culture to reveal the dramatically different worlds that surround them and uncover the choreographic links that unite them.

Choreographed by internationally-renowned Sydney hip-hop dance artist Nick Power and accompanied by the beats and sound design of Jack Prest, the work blends the raw, wild energy of b*boy battles with skilful improvisation and choreography, offering a cross-cultural perspective on style, culture and locality.

The project is the result of a four-year dance exchange between Darwin’s D*City Rockers and Cambodia’s Tiny Toones youth program. The two crews have travelled, trained, battled and performed together, and Between Tiny Cities រវាងទីក្រុងតូច, is the culmination of that exchange.

Since then, they’ve toured to more than 20 destinations, around Australia from Sydney Opera House to remote outback Indigenous communities, to festivals throughout Asia and Europe.

“Between Tiny Cities is truly a marvel of sleek, vivid and intense choreography intertwined with the improvisation and urban beats of break dancing to explore the universal story between two performers through dance. Raw, energetic, compulsive, tenacious and dramatic. Highly recommended.” – Lia Cocks, Theatre Travels, March 2020
