【#FreespaceTechLab】即興舞蹈演出 實驗舞台空間裡身體與光影間的關係 Impromptu dance performances that explore the relationship between body, light and shadow (For English please scroll down) 「這個空間很厲害，當我走向鏡面，發覺（倒影）開始變形，突然好像變成了雙人舞蹈，甚至四人舞，接著我開始做某些姿態令手腳變形，劇場的線條亦會重疊，像沙畫一樣，很夢幻，這些是只有舞台才能產生的幻象。」舞者梅卓燕對鏡幕舞台裝置的看法。 「Freespace 舞台與技術實驗室 」進入最後一週，各項舞台實驗進行得如火如荼。舞者梅卓燕和黃靜婷將分別於本週五和六，為大家帶來兩場即興舞蹈演出。舞者於四面無盡反射的空間內，與燈光及投映技術互相捕捉，探索視覺空間與演出者身體關係。同場亦會有專題講座，介紹「鏡幕技術」和「投映與燈光」的應用。 西九 x 進念Freespace Tech Lab舞台與技術實驗室 即興演出＋專題講座：【GiantMirror 】 演出： 梅卓燕 主講： ShowTex Hong Kong Ltd. 代表 日期： 11月24日（星期五） 8pm 即興演出＋專題講座：【投映與燈光 】 演出： 黃靜婷 主講： 麥國輝及Christie代表 日期： 11月25日（星期六）4:30pm 場地：香港文化中心劇場 門票現於城市售票網公開發售：https://goo.gl/ffcH6i 活動詳情：www.westkowloon.hk/freespacetechlab “The space is amazing. When I walk towards the mirror the reflections begin to distort. Suddenly it looks like a dance duet, or even a dance for four. Then I start to move, shaping my body to overlap the reflected lines of the theatre. The set looks as dreamlike as a sand painting. Illusions like these can only be created in the theatre.” Dancer Mui Cheuk-yin on the GiantMirror stage installation. This weekend, join us for the last showcases in our “Freespace Tech Lab” series, when dancers Mui Cheuk-yin and Chloe Wong present impromptu performances that explore the relationship between new technologies, arts spaces and the dancer’s body.

Groundbreaking in terms of its music and script, the experimental Cantonese opera was also featured in a mainland media review: “The experimental Cantonese opera ‘Farewell My Concubine’ is such a breath of fresh of air that the label ‘youthful’ is inadequate. The thing that leaves a lasting impression is that such a refined script could be produced in a modern, crowded city like Hong Kong. ” Read full article here (Chinese only): https://goo.gl/9RGeb6 In March 2018, the production will hit the stage in Quanzhou, Fujian.
