#TheObsessions — These are Choreographer and Dancer Marcus Pan’s Favourite Things

  • By Bryan Goh


What makes some of these local or global creatives tick? In this weekly column, Marcus Pan, a choreographer and dancer, shares his many inspirations and obsessions.



1. Sneakers:
I can’t get enough of ’em. They look good. They are an art piece. They are an ideology. They are functional. They are versatile. And most importantly they take you places.



2. Techwear:
Living in the swiss-army age where everything is multifunctional, techwear is a godsend — breathable fabrics, water repellent material, functional pockets and zippers… plus, it makes you feel like you’re in a Metal Gear Solid game.



3. My hair:
It’s a keeper! Both on top and on my face!



4. Art:
They make our lives more interesting. They are there for us to admire, learn something from and to be inspired to do greater things.



5. Dance:
It has taught me everything because it mirrors life. What we learn in life, we express through dance and what we learn in dance, we express though life.



6. My Other Half:
Because we need to exist as a whole. She is the battery pack to my robot shell.
