Labora-Terry Landscape by Terry Tsang 【Online Programme】

Online Premiere on 9 September

In a mysterious corner, the dancer's body morphs in the space and among the colours.  Will it be shaped into an alien? Or is it still just dancing? The choreographer Terry Tsang transforms vision into the camera lens, which becomes one with the creative drive, and with colours, images, space and props, dance per se is re-examined, the body is re-shaped, and the dancer roams in that mysterious corner where visual impact and physical movements thrive. This four-episode series examines the choreographer’s four stages of creative experience, from hair phobia, family relationships, creative environments, to human and nature. Through the lens, the creator's own experiences in his previous and current works are reimagined.

Tsang was nominated for Outstanding Performance by Male Dancer in 2019, and Tom Brown Emerging Choreographer in 2022, at the Hong Kong Dance Awards. Premiering his signature work Mo Ngaan Tai in 2019, he received invitations from two local festivals, and overseas festivals in Italy and Taiwan.

Graduated from the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, majoring in Contemporary Dance, Tsang was a full-time dancer of the City Contemporary Dance Company from 2013 to 2019. He toured to different overseas destinations with the company, and has also been active locally.

All worked up, the body floats and oscillates in the memory...

Was it fear? Or was it longing? Perhaps it no longer matters.
