About Odyssey Dance Theatre Ltd.
(ODT)

Danny Tan, Artistic Director/Choreographer, founded Odyssey Dance Theatre (ODT) in June 1999 with his vision to provide a new creative voice in dance.

In January 2000, ODT made its debut performance - 'ODYSSEY TO THE SUBLIME' at Jubilee Hall and Taiwan ROC respectively. This successful debut has led ODT to present other acclaimed repertoires such as

· 'XTREME' (April 2000),
'THE ORIGINS' (Sept 2000),
· 'ONE' - 1ST ANNIVERSARY PERFORMANCE (Jan 2001),
'XTREME2' (May 2001),
· 'THE WHITE SENSATION' (September 2001),
· XPOSITION 'O' CONTEMPORARY DANCE FIESTA (Nov/Dec 2001),
· 'XTRODINARY SOLOS - A SEASON OF ASIAN CONTEMPORARY DANCERS' (February 2002) &
· 'BOLD MOVES' (May 2002)

In November 2000, ODT launched the 'NEW TALENT PRESENTATION' series with an objective to provide a platform for the creation of works by dance practitioners. Part 2 of this series - 'BOLD MOVES', which was presented in May 2002, saw the culmination of new works by Danny Tan and emerging choreographers Kuo Jing Hong (Singapore), Lee Ming-Cheng (Taiwan) and Albert Tiong (Malaysia).

ODT has also performed at Hong Kong and Australia in February and March 2001 - a dynamic move to promote local and original professional works to the international audience.

As the Artiste-In-School at Northland Secondary School (the 1st of its kind & awarded by the National Arts Council in June 2000), ODT has embarked on a 4-year comprehensive and interactive arts curriculum for the school and cluster's involvement, since January 2001.
