A Grand Dance Poem of Calligraphy - After Snowfall
Expressions of Wang Xizhi’s timeless brushstrokes
Dance Rhyme, Calligraphy, Martial Arts, Technology
----- A Multimedia Collaboration
The Inking of Imagery. Man and Words as One.
The title of After Snowfall comes from the famous letters to his friends by Wang Xizhi, the Sage of Calligraphy. Written more than 1,600 years ago, the pieces created with a simple brush and ink convey a far-reaching meaning. Hong Kong Dance Company is pleased to present this new multimedia dance programme, connecting us with the Sage’s words across time and space.
The highest artistic standard of Chinese traditional art and culture is to attain a harmony between heaven and earth, blend the two forces, and transcend past and present. Hong Kong Dance Company has based its latest creation on Chinese culture, selecting some of the shortest pieces from the Sage of Calligraphy as the inspiration. Dancers who have been trained in martial arts for seven years will lift the brush and ink sticks and use the art of dance to trace the calligraphy. This new production weaves a “character” of strength and grace, combining the fluidity of dance and the power of martial arts with skill and artistry.
A quick snowfall remembered and a thousand years of ink enjoyed, a new creation in the art of dance. How wonderful!
This performance will feature the internationally acclaimed violinist Ms Yao Jue, together with rising Hong Kong new media artist Mr Chris Cheung, weaving a grand dance work to captivate and inspire our audience.
As the Ink Art Partner for After Snowfall, the charitable organisation UOB Art Academy showcases award-winning artworks from the UOB Art in Ink Awards, with the support of UOB, as part of the multimedia content being featured on stage. In collaboration with Sparkle Collection, the acclaimed Hong Kong designer brand known for its innovative approach to Chinese fashion, they craft an immersive experience that pays homage to the enduring allure of traditional ink art.
This programme has also been selected as one of the"Expo Programmes"in the inaugural edition of the Hong Kong Performing Arts Expo, allowing art lovers from the mainland and abroad to appreciate the essence of Chinese ink art and dance from a new perspective.
Rhythms of Chinese Folk Dance - A Dance of Drumming Pulses
Drumming in pulses, dancing with the soul
A Dance of Drumming Pulses presents the splendid charm of Chinese ethnic dances drawing inspiration from nature and life with primal passion. Selected dances include drum-accompanied ethnic and folk dances from different dynasties. And a brand-new dance Dance with Silent Pulses uses the drums to drive a joyful tempo that is sincere, soulful, and straight from the heart. The graceful dances bring the audience into a colourful world of movement, exploring the profound cultural meanings and vivid sense of humanity.
An Epic Martial Arts Dance Drama - Storm Clouds
Greatness Can Never Be Contained
Back by popular demand, the multi-award-winning martial arts dance drama Storm Clouds, premiered in 2014 with a rerun in 2016, will return next year in all its glory. Adapted from the hugely popular Hong Kong comic book The Storm Riders, Storm Clouds extracts the most thrilling parts of the story and sets them on an innovative stage utilising digital imagery, a gleaming pool of water, sophisticated lighting, and an award-winning musical score to reconstruct the comic realm and bring audiences a truly memorable visual experience. Swords are brandished, water is splashed about, and two brotherly heroes are torn apart by hatred and destiny in this captivating, high-action dance drama.
Arts Education Theatre - Dance-to-know Mulan
Combining dance education, drama, and excerpts from the popular dance drama The Legend of Mulan, Hong Kong Dance Company brings the audience into a rich, immersive theatrical environment. Mulan was a legendary figure who disguised herself as a man to join the army in place of her aged father. Over time, she has been praised for her loyalty, filial piety, courage, and wisdom. Arts Education Theatre Dance-to-know Mulan travels through the literary world of the classic Chinese poem The Ballad of Mulan, and meets this world-renowned heroine through the medium of dance. Let's learn about courage and kindness through the appreciation of the arts.
