Theme: Unlearn l Relearn

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).

Dua Space 共享空间

In 1998, when the soil of Malaysian art was still impoverished, Anthony Meh and Aman Yap Choong Boon established the first full-time professional dance group of the Malaysian Chinese community. In tune with the dance group's English name “Dua Space", which implies the coexistence of sharing and communication, the group has performed in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Britain, Spain and so on since its founding in 1998, and has brought the art of Malaysia to the international stage. With twenty years of hard work, they have won numerous prestigious awards at homeland and abroad. Recent well-known performances include Amidst The Wind, The Lotus Sutra, Ancient Inscriptions and so on. They prepared the soil of Malaysian dance realm from scratch, and that can be regarded as the flower of perseverance that blooms from the concrete slab. 1998年，在大马艺术土壤贫瘠的时候，马金泉与叶忠文创立了首个大马华社全职专业舞团。与舞团英译“Dua Space”寓意共享与交流相形一彰的是，创立至今曾在中、港、台、日、韩、英国、西班牙等地演出，让大马艺术延伸至国际舞台。二十年的耕耘，他们荣获无数国内外知名大奖，近期知名演出包括《风中二十》、《法华经：舞动和平共生妙旋律》、《万象甲骨》等。从无到有，为大马舞蹈界翻土掘地的他们，可称之为水泥地里开出的那朵坚毅之花。
