LINGUA FRANCA : Bridging Artistic | David Kam | TEDxUniversityofManchester

In Davids presentation, he shares a live multidisciplinary exchange with choreographer Natalie Su Robinson, illustrator Joanna Layla, violinist Henry Webster and projection designer Graham Robinson.

David Kam is an international dance artist and yoga teacher based in London. Inspired by the cultural richness of his home country, the prolific Malaysian embraces a multidisciplinary work approach on the basis of his architectural degree and formal dance training from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance.
David’s academic pursuits sparked his curiosity to study the connection between place and self, establishing a practice of placemaking within performance. He has therefore developed a particular interest in site-specific work, often of an autobiographical nature. David’s inclination towards bridging disciplines has also led him to specialise in Dance-Specific Yoga.
Over the years, David had the privilege to work with Transitions Dance Company, Tony Thatcher, Melanie Clarke and Dr. Valerie Preston-Dunlop, all of which contributed to his diverse and international performing experience across the UK, Asia and Europe.
