Matthew Goh, a graduate of Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts with a Diploma in Dance (Choreography) and the Best Graduate Award in 2013, is a founding member of RAW Moves. He is known for his inquisitive approach to dance, constantly questioning the definition of dance and movement, while exploring the fringes of what they can encompass.

 

As a dedicated dance educator, Matthew is committed to fostering an inclusive learning environment for everyone. In 2020, he completed the ‘Working with Children with Disabilities in and through the Arts’ course by the Social Service Institute and National Arts Council. He continues to inspire and guide children and young adults with diverse needs through the A Little RAW programme.
