HONG KONG BALLET X WEST KOWLOON CULTURAL DISTRICT X HONG KONG ART SCHOOL
The idea is simple: Seven world premieres by seven Hong Kong-based choreographers, each paired with a local artist working in a different medium. The result? An explosive celebration of Hong Kong’s trend-setting creative class. Produced in partnership with West Kowloon Cultural District and Hong Kong Art School (A division of the Hong Kong Arts Centre), dance-makers are paired with composers, painters, sculptors, fashion designers and video artists, creating something truly unique in a city known for its one-of-a-kind events.
After the show, grab a drink and mingle with your favourite dancer, and then enjoy a late-night screening of The Unheard Beat. This new documentary from Oliver Shing reveals the sweat, passion, disappointment and triumph behind the creative process and features Yuh Egami, Hu Song Wei Ricky and the Hong Kong Ballet dancers.
*The concept and ideas of three of the works were conceived and developed during the Creation for Freespace: Choreographer and Composer Lab programme co-partnered with West Kowloon. The composers and live music for these performances were commissioned and funded by West Kowloon.
