Dancing is an exhibition of a person’s stature as well as an art form that responds to the society. In this episode, our hostess Charlene will walk into the world of dancing in Hong Kong and study different types of dance. She will gain insight into the culture of Hong Kong urban space while exploring the spirit of dancing.
Modern dance untethers dancers from traditional techniques and focuses more on dancers’ subjectivity and movement interactions with space. Joseph and Kenny, a couple of modern dancers who just completed their studies abroad, practice the integration of environmental elements into dance movements with Charlene in the nooks and crannies of the city. They perceive the environment with body sensations; communicate with each other through dance steps; and create a new choreographic piece with the fruit they bear in the end. In addition, Charlene will glean the skills from other dances: Mo is a street dancer who shows solicitude for female identity, she will visit various places from universities to streets with our hostess in a bid to experience the relation between females and space; Angela, an experienced jazz dancer, will let Charlene attend a formal dancing class as a preparation for the performance choreographed by Charlene.
