The Dance Pilgrim

The posts are personal reflections of productions, publications, events and personalities that have inspired and impacted me along my journey in dance. Each has been a precious experience and great learning opportunity. While extensive, it does not claim to provide a comprehensive overview of the dance ecosystem in Malaysia. Nevertheless it is an ideal introduction for enthusiasts and student-researchers. It aspires to raise the awareness of dance and arts, as well as share its joyous moments.

Joseph Gonzales: As Founder and Artistic Director of ASK Dance Company (est. 2011), I use dance as a platform to explore and present contemporary ideas, while working to document and revive traditional dances which serve as a tool to strengthen inter-ethnic relations. Former Professor at The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts (2016-2024), Dean of Dance at National Arts Academy, Malaysia (1998-2015), Teacher at Federal Academy of Ballet (1992-1994). I have performed, directed, and choreographed professionally in multiple genres of dance and theatre since 1981 including the UK National Tour/West End "The King and I", Kuala Lumpur Dance Theatre and St. Moritz Gold Band in Malaysia. An educator, researcher, producer, curator, holding office for dance organizations at the Asian level, I work towards greater professionalism for dance, and to bring Malaysian dance onto international stages.
