Description
A month-long exploration of time and space through dance
Freespace Dance returns with a cutting-edge programme of dance that responds, investigates and reimagines concepts of time and space through a range of choreographic and performance approaches.
Opening the festival is Freespace Dance-exhibitionist, a newly commissioned work by Hong Kong dance artist Daniel Yeung revisiting multimedia solo dance work from Yeung’s acclaimed career. International productions include emerging Thai dance artist Kornkarn Rungsawang’s Mali Bucha: Dance Offering, a work blending elements of traditional Thai ritual dance with augmented and virtual reality; Greek choreographer Dimitris Papaioannou’s INSIDE, a six-hour video installation on the landscape of daily life, and BACKSIDE, a behind-the-scenes documentary about the making of the marathon work; plus Austrian choreographer Florentina Holzinger’s TANZ, a bold exploration of the cultivation of the female body merging the rigours of ballet, circus arts, stunt work and pornography with body horror and dark comedy.
The programme also features work-in-progress presentations by TS Crew (HK) x contact Gonzo (Osaka), and Hong Kong artist Zelia ZZ Tan, as well as sharing sessions with local dance artists and their collaborators, including Scarlet Yu, Woo Yat-hei, Chan Wai-lok (with Larry Shuen), and Wayson Poon (with Kong Chan), through the research and development platform FIRST Creation.
