Hong Kong Dance Company ‘8/F Platform’ Jing - Life Reflections within the Pulses of Our Hearts
Hong Kong Dance Company (HKDC)’s 8/F Platform presents an experimental dance theatre Jing, a new work co-choreographed by HKDC dancer Yuan Shenglu and guest artist Yu Erge, a national first-class artist from Sichuan. The inspiring work will premiere at HKDC’s dance studio and laboratory at 8/F, Sheung Wan Civic Centre from 20 to 22 December 2019.
Connotations of Jing are of three-folds: “境” refers to one’s circumstances, boundaries and greater nature; “靜” is the inner-self tranquility; and “鏡” depicts and reveals one’s relationship with others. Yuan embraces elements of nature and expresses his hope towards life by creating a spiritual journey for the audience. Jing questions your ways of living in the hustle and bustle of the city, and explores the possibilities of dance theatre.

The 8/F Platform is HKDC’s rehearsal studio and also a dance laboratory that embraces choreography, performance, education, demonstration and multi-disciplinary collaboration, with the objectives to enhance artistic collaborations as well as audience development in Hong Kong.
