Choreographer/Movement Director
Movement direction for CodeCaud, filmed and produced by Studio Rototoro.
‘Shanice and I worked together on a music video - she was immensely helpful as a movement director. It was such an amazing experience working together with her! I’m pretty introverted so it honestly takes a lot of time for me to feel comfortable to move my body and dance. Right away from day one, she made the entire experience of dancing so comfortable for me that I was able to actually feel good and have fun throughout the entire time. Would love to work together with her again for future projects!’

Duende, the Spanish word for soul, was originally used to describe the passion and spirit of evocation of the flamenco dancers from Andalucia, southern Spain. It is precisely this transcendent quality which makes Flamenco a dance form capable of expressing an incredible range of human emotions, gifting audiences with unparalleled aesthetic experiences.
Set in the heartland of Geylang, the film explores the spirit of Duende that exists halfway across the world - in Singapore. We follow in the footsteps of an average Singaporean and flamenco dancer, Daphne Huang. She shares with us her strong passion for the Spanish cultural art form along with many other Singaporeans from all walks of life.
Duende is the winner of the European Union Center Documentary Competition and had its premiere in the Guam International Film Festival.
