 “Their (Expression Dance Companies) participation highlights both the growing appetite for contemporary dance in Singapore and the strong cultural ties that underpin the warm and substantial bilateral relations between Australia and Singapore.” 

 “The Odyssey Dance Theatre is young, but its accomplishments are far from modest. With 6 professional dancers in its main company and 15 in its young company, it has been very prolific since its inception four years ago, staging to date 15 mainhouse seasons. ODT strives to create new expressions and retain local elements in its offerings.” 

“Korea and Singapore’s long-standing political and economic relations have led to an increasing number of cultural exchanges, and this in turn, have brought about greater understanding between our two countries. These ties will be further strengthened by the new cultural exchange programme which is implemented since April 2005 between Korea and Singapore.”

 “With an ambition to be the Global City of the Arts in Asia, Singapore launched its Renaissance City Plan by the Ministry of Information, Communication and the Arts in 2000. Within 9 years, with extensive arts infrastructure upgrade and extensive programming, including the Biennale, expansion of audience development, Singapore has inched closer to developing itself as a world class city with vibrant arts events, while increasing our national pride. Over the same period, ODT has emerged as a source of great inspiration and excitement in the arts industry, contributing numerous works to both the local and international scene. I applaud ODT for creating distinctive milestones through its 3 divisions, ODT International, Young Artists Project Performers and Arts4yoUths over the decade by challenging the norms in arts and dance management. Through them, ODT has enriched the arts fabric of the nation.”  

“My warmest congratulations also goes to our home-grown contemporary dance company Odyssey Dance Theatre Ltd (ODT), for partnering the Embassy of Korea to successfully stage “Global Souls” as the closing event for Korea Festival 2011 in Singapore. In am heartened to note that Odyssey Dance Theatre will also bring this performance to Korea later this month to showcase Singapore’s contemporary dance to Korean audiences. This will serve to foster greater understanding between the peoples of Singapore and Korea, as well as deepen the close bilateral cultural relations that both countries share.”
