Vi Lam, based in Sydney, is a passionate dancer, instinctive choreographer, and dedicated educator. Over 15 years, he’s honed a unique dance language, sculpting movements that interpret lyrics and resonate with the intricate nuances of sound, delving into shapes and textures.
To Vi, dance is not just performance but a rich narrative. His choreographies unfold stories, emphasising both abstract and commercial facets, and highlighting cultural motifs. Music is more than an accompaniment to Vi—it guides, acting as the compass for his heartfelt choreographic conversations.
His collaborations span Opera Australia,Sydney Dance Company, The Australian Ballet, UNSW Global, Bank of China and Commbank. On screen, he’s contributed to SBS’ I’m Not Gay and ABC’s Significant Others. A notable achievement is his Sydney Theatre Awards nomination (won) for best choreography in a musical for the 2023’s “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” presented by September Remedy Production at Hayes Theatre Co.
In recent years, Vi serves as Co-director alongside Loredo Malcolm within LOcREaDO Dance Company, a self-funded independent platform established since 2009. During his tenure, Vi has showcased two original full-length works, namely "Grounded" and "ARKITEKNITIANs". This platform serves as a vital hub, not only for Vi's creative endeavors but also for fostering opportunities for emerging artists, ranging from indie productions to commercial ventures such as the HINO and Bresic Whitney Gala events. Additionally, LOcREaDO Dance Company offers comprehensive training and mentorship programs, catering to aspiring performers of all ages.
Vi’s vision surpasses individual work; he aspires to nurture a diverse dance community in Australia, opening avenues for multifaceted talents. In Vi Lam, Sydney’s dance sphere discovers a genuine advocate, deeply committed to connection, collaboration, and cultural celebration.
Vi is presently on Asia tour with the acclaimed production of "Miss Saigon" throughout 2024.
