Synopsis
What makes Hong Kong dance distinctly Hong Kong? How do we breathe our thoughts, feelings and passion into local dance works? HDX is going to have in-depth conversations with four local and overseas choreographers. Discussion topics range from personal creation to our homeland’s inspirations; from ideas to onstage performances; from sex/gender exploration to trans-region exchanges; from physical training to local witch dance culture (professional Taoist masters will demonstrate excerpts of Taoist funeral ritual ‘hell-door-breaking’ for a cross-disciplinary exchange on the spot).
