Synopsis |
“Hong Kong Ballet has a fine tradition of presenting a choreographers' showcase nearly every year. This enables some of its own dancers to try their hands in creating new pieces.”
-- Kevin Ng, EJ Insight on Choreographers' Showcase 2016
Praised for “a number of promising first works from new [choreographers]” by South China Morning Post, the annual Choreographers’ Showcase presents original, bold new ballet works by emerging dance artists from within and beyond Hong Kong Ballet. Meet the choreographers who are set to elevate Hong Kong’s arts scene in the 21st century with their fresh, progressive pieces at Choreographers’ Showcase 2017. Held in an intimate space, this innovative showcase will leave audiences wanting more. This vibrant collaboration among the Company’s dancers celebrates raw athleticism and dynamic movement to create a truly unique evening of dance.
Join us as we come together to witness this striking 21st-century programme of diverse works and artists!
With-IN by Luis Cabrera
Luis Cabrera examines the raw emotions of fear, loss and longing in his new creation.
Infinity Awaits by He Chaoya & Li Jiabo
Set in old Shanghai, a woman waits for her long-lost lover. Why does she do this if she knows he will probably never show up?
Following the success of last year’s Night Thoughts, He Chaoya and Li Jiabo come together again to create this new piece with Chinese dance elements especially for the Hong Kong Ballet dancers.
Demons by Hu Song Wei Ricky
Extracted from and inspired by everyday life, award-winning dancer/choreographer Hu Song Wei Ricky depicts living with humans and demons in his new piece.
Same Old Joe by Lucas Jerkander
"Leukemia is a group of cancers that usually begin in the bone marrow and results in high numbers of abnormal white blood cells."
Without finding a donor for a bone marrow transplant, it's a life and death struggle with the disease. Lucas Jerkander creates Same Old Joe which is inspired by real events and uses the voice of ballet dancer Joesph Bunn.
L'espoir by Leung Chunlong
“The night is long but it will meet the day.”
Hope is beautiful yet distant. It also drives us to do our utmost even through great hardship. Leung Chunlong’s new work illustrates what hope personally means to him.
The Bow by Li Lin
A bow is powerful yet flexible. It can be a line, or it can be bent, made into circle and much more. In The Bow, Li Lin shares his unique perspective with a bow.
BubbleGoose by Jonathan Spigner
Jonathan Spigner gets back to the roots of raw creativity and focuses on the dancing material.
A Rebel At Heart by Yang Ruiqi
“I myself decide who I will be. This is me!”
In A Rebel At Heart, Yang Ruiqi shows how a rebel transforms rebellion into art. |
