For 35 years, since CCDC's founding in 1979, the Company has accompanied artists as they come of age and witnessed changes in society. CCDC’s nature has undergone a transcendental change. From our early motto, “building Hong Kong’s local contemporary culture”, to our present maxim of being “based in Hong Kong, with our heart in China and our sights set on the world”, we have continually adjusted our goals, while maintaining our standard of producing high quality art. In a materialistic world oriented to business and market forces, we have led modern dancers in Hong Kong and the whole of China uncompromisingly, waving the banner of “personality, contemporariness and originality”.

自香港本土和中國內地的藝術家們，聯袂獻上連續兩周的「城市當代舞蹈節」精彩節目。除了在舞台上馳騁三十五年之外，舞團為了探索新媒體表演藝術而舉辦的「跳格國際舞蹈影像節」，也進行到第六屆了。今年的舞蹈影像作品中，有來自兩岸三地的全新委約短片及強調與觀眾即時互動的《編舞之外》影像裝置展覽；而最特別的，就是以我去年完成的舞台作品《尋找大觀園》改編的電影，這是首個本地製作的 3D 立體舞蹈影像製作，效果如何，真讓人期待。

黃振邦 Bruce Wong

林詠茵 Peggy Lam

On the occasion of our 35th anniversary, we have lined up a wide array of programmes, mixing the repertoire with new works. They include: (1) the latest sensation Second Thoughts by CCDC dancer Dominic Wong; (2) the revival of As If To Nothing, choreographed by the international acclaimed dance maker Sang Jijia for us in 2009; (3) The Buying Game 2.0 based on the critically acclaimed and popular work created by senior CCDC dancer Noel Pong last year; (4) the whimsical In-between conceived by three of our young dancers, Peggy Lam, Shirley Lok and Jennifer Mok, together with Vietnamese choreographer Nguyen Ngoc Anh; (5) a two-week City Contemporary Dance Festival in December featuring Hong Kong and mainland artists – the highlight of our 35th anniversary celebrations. In addition to stage performances over the past 35 years, we have also been exploring new media in performing arts by organising the Jumping Frames International Dance Video Festival, now in its sixth edition. This year, we have newly commissioned short films from the Greater China region, as well as a video installation exhibition Hyperchoreography that stresses audience interaction. A special highlight is the film adaptation of my stage work from last year, In Search of the Grand View Garden. This is the first 3D dance film in Hong Kong and we are all very excited about it.

City Contemporary Dance Company (CCDC)

“Artistic soul of contemporary Hong Kong”

香港《南華早報》

South China Morning Post, Hong Kong Under the leadership of Founder and Artistic Director Willy Tsao, City Contemporary Dance Company has inspired and elated audiences in Hong Kong and around the world with superb modern dance performances over the past 34 years. Founded in 1979, CCDC has presented more than 200 original works to critical acclaim, including productions by Tsao and leading choreographers such as Helen Lai, Mui Cheuk-yin, Pun Siu-fai and Yuri Ng. CCDC has presented innovative collaborations with outstanding artists from other media and with artists from around the world.

城市當代舞蹈團是香港首個全職專業現代舞團，於

1979 年由曹誠淵創立，以體現香港當代文化及推動現代舞蹈發展為宗旨。三十五年來，舞團保留了超過二百齣本土編舞家的完整舞碼，包括曹誠淵、黎海寧、梅卓燕、潘少輝及伍宇烈等作品，也經常與其他媒介藝術家合作，展現多元化的香港文化特色。每年演出逾六十多場，參與人數超過五萬人次。

CCDC is renowned for reflecting the vigour and creativity of Hong Kong’s vibrant, multifaceted contemporary culture, presenting works to an audience of more than 50,000 people annually. It has earned over 230 overseas invitations from the world’s foremost dance stages and festivals in over 30 major cities, including New York, Washington DC, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Montreal, London, Paris, Lyon, Rome, Rovereto, Berlin, Munich, Stuttgart, Prague, St Petersburg, Moscow, Copenhagen, Karmiel (Israel), Delhi, Mumbai, Tokyo, Seoul, Busan, Singapore, Manila, Sydney, Brisbane, Beijing, Shanghai, Xining, Taipei and Urumqi.

自1980 年以來，舞團開展頻密的國際文化交流活動及參與藝術節，先後代表香港在美洲、歐洲、澳洲及亞洲共三十多個主要城市，包括紐約、華盛頓、三藩市、洛杉磯、蒙特里爾、倫敦、巴黎、里昂、羅馬、羅韋雷托、柏林、慕尼黑、斯圖加特、布拉格、聖彼德堡、莫斯科、哥本哈根、卡米爾（以色列）、德里、孟買、東京、首爾、釜山、新加坡、馬尼拉、悉尼、布里斯本、北京、上海、西寧、台北及烏魯木齊等進行了超過二百三十場巡迴演出，備受國際藝壇重視。除了「立足香港，匯聚華人菁英，創造當代中國舞蹈」

CCDC’s commitment to education and development results in around 40 outreach performances annually, offering highly popular dance courses to more than 40,000 students and audience members each year. CCDC also helps to organise dance festivals in China, and since 1998, through its China Dance Development Programme, provides administrative and technical support to emerging Hong Kong and mainland artists. The opening of the CCDC Dance Centre in 2004 has given young artists, students and the community the facilities and programmes that ensure the ongoing development of dance as a vital artistic pursuit in Hong Kong.

的藝術路線之外，舞團也積極推動舞蹈教育工作。於 2004 年成立的 CCDC 舞蹈中心，繼續發揚以往的舞蹈教育、舞蹈外展計劃、社區表演及藝術推廣等工作。每年提供四十多場的外展表演、現代舞、芭蕾舞、爵士舞及中國舞等不同類型的舞蹈訓練，受眾超過四萬人。自1998 年開始，舞團在國內推展「中國舞蹈發展計劃」，為國內正在萌芽的現代舞團體提供行政與技術支援，並於內地與北京雷動天下現代舞團及廣東現代舞團合辦多個極具影響力的現代舞節，鼓勵內地新晉舞蹈家進行探索性創作。 4

Dominic 一早確定以自身作為起點。這一部絕對不是醫學探索或人體大全，而是假借種種進入個人領域的外來事物，呈現 Dominic 的生活感覺與某些情緒狀態。Dominic 揚言﹕「作品可能比較抽象，請觀眾看表象下的我。」向來不介意公開自己，Dominic 覺得隱瞞內心反而會阻礙創作。「跟我的為人很有關係，我一向說話直上直下，有時得罪了人，但這就是我。」愛紅的人大多自信滿滿，不隨眾，不退縮。

Text

From bright red to blood, to the relationship between blood pressure and well-being, to how white blood cells prevent external elements taking over the body… Ideas fly around but are never out of control, because Dominic uses his own experiences as the starting point. It is not a medical exploration or an encyclopedia of the body. Instead, through various kinds of external objects that enter the private sphere, it manifests certain feelings or moods of the choreographer. Dominic doesn’t mind making his own private life public. He thinks that hiding his thoughts will hinder his creation: “It has a lot to do with my character. I always speak my mind. Sometimes I offend people, but that’s me.” Most people who like the colour red tend to be confident, independent and forward.

Percy Mak

Dominic Wong always wears black and white. But he also has bright red clothes in his wardrobe. “It gives me energy,” says Dominic with a big smile. In his second full-length work after Blind Chance in 2012, Dominic starts with the colour red, which suggests warmth and boldness, happiness and celebrations as well as danger.

Micro Connection

Hailed as “one of Hong Kong’s most promising choreographers” by the South China Morning Post, Dominic has been with CCDC for 18 years, choreographing for ten. From Men’s Chop Suey in 2003 and E.Y.T. in 2007, to Xtremely Four Seasons and What’s Next, he has proved himself a master of slapstick comedy, creating light-hearted works with wide appeal. It was not until Blind Chance that audiences saw another side of this comedian. “I feel I’m an eternal traveller. I have a great thirst for knowledge and always want to learn new things. My earlier works emphasise a sense of drama. It was the early me. Recently, I have decided to put that aside for the time being and look for new things. In Blind Chance, I tried to change by using pure movement to express the relationships between people. This work continues the theme, but movements of the body come first and are combined with feelings afterwards.” During the initial rehearsals of Second Thoughts, Dominic came up with the keyword “relationship” and asked dancers to create steps with ropes of varying length, elasticity and thickness to shape the development of the work. He likes using ropes because they can be swung around and they don’t take on a fixed form. Dominic may be confident, but he is also mindful of others’ opinions. “In my recent works, I like to invite friends to the rehearsals. From the dance profession, I’ll invite Helen Lai and my senior classmates at The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts. I’ll also invite friends from the theatre and music industry because their views are very important. When I’m concentrating, I easily miss a lot of things. Sometimes one word from them can help me turn things around.” This shows how serious Dominic is about his productions.

About Dominic Wong Dominic Wong was a TV artist for Asia Television Company. He studied modern dance at The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts and joined CCDC after his graduation in 1996. He received the Hong Kong Dance Award “Outstanding Performance by a Male Dancer” for his performance in Plaza X (2000) and The Comedy of K (2012). His choreographic works Xtremely Four Seasons (2008) and What’s Next (2009) were both hailed by the South China Morning Post as one of the "Best Dances" of their year.

The set will consist mainly of horizontal ropes. It brings together CCDC and renowned local fashion designer and image stylist Chen Dao for the second time after Strip Teaser 2012. Apart from costume design, he will make his debut as a set designer. As Dominic reveals, the ropes and costumes will all be red. Are the audience and the choreographer supposed to wear red too? One thing we can be certain: he will have dark circles under his eyes. Dominic laughs ruefully – he experiences serious insomnia whenever he choreographs a new work and can’t fall asleep until the early morning. 9

有說人的喜怒哀樂、感知以至意識狀態，是大腦神經細胞之間溝通與聯繫的神經遞質所產生的化學作用，箇中關係千絲萬縷，如血管內的微觀世界，蘊含不同崗位不同功能，看來細碎的事情也足以牽一髮動全身，像生活在城市擁擠的空間裡，周遭擦肩而過的你我，似近還遠，當中的微妙互動深不可測。

黃狄文繼 2012 年《別有洞天》後再度操刀，夥拍著名時裝設計師陳刀及音樂達人沈樂民，新作將微觀起伏思潮、透視身體結構，誓要衝擊你的視聽細胞，一起探索錯綜複雜的後觀世界！ Communication and connection between cranial nerve cells happen through neurotransmitters, of which there are a great variety of types, functions and formations. It is a lifelong journey to understand how our sensations, perceptions and ideologies are interlinked. The world we live in is bustling with noise and excitement. People are shuffling around all the time. We seem to be close to each other, yet we feel distant and lonely. Our intertwined relationships are just like blood, serving different functions. After his full-length debut Blind Chance, Dominic Wong advances his choreography in this followup piece. He collaborates with fashion designer Chen Dao to explore the microscopic world of sense and sensibility, with emotionally charged music by emerging composer Shum Lok-man.

牆面裝置，適時於舞作的幾個段落中將舞台切割成不同區塊。其中一面的窗口，與另一面的門與桌，提供一種家的氛圍。一開始，數位舞者穿梭於舞台空間，其中或高喊著舞者 Noel 的名、或焦慮似地以廣東話重複著「七點鐘……」、甚至有人大聲關上窗門，與傳入耳裡的吵雜電子樂聲相抗衡。舞者們或三倆人於舞台一角起舞，動作語彙多以身體關節之凹折所帶動出全身的精力變化，因此呈現的肢體線條少有直立的身軀，而是多屬臀部脫離中心或扭曲似的地板互動等組合。由於文化背景的不同，所創作出的舞作也會與西方整晚的演出段落以暗燈區隔。首演版本的第二段中，

年來合作的一些記憶。在一段段不同舞台場景的轉換之下，觀眾也分享了舞者們的點點滴滴，彷彿細細品味了一場視覺與動覺的饗宴。註：本文作者依據其於 2009 年觀賞《那一年· 這一天》首演後，在香港《a.m.post》發表之評論，再稍作更新。

Sang Jijia, a much sought-after choreographer of Tibetan ethnicity, is among the first generation of modern dancers trained in China in the early 1990s. Selected for the highly competitive Rolex Mentor and Protégé project in 2002, he was given the opportunity to work side-by-side with the influential American choreographer William Forsythe at the Frankfurt Ballet for four years. After his return to China in 2006, Sangba (Sang Jijia’s nickname) created a number of full-length works for dance companies associated with Willy Tsao – Hong Kong’s CCDC, Beijing’s LDTX and the Guangdong Modern Dance Company (GMDC). These works include Unspeakable (2007), Sticks (2007), As If To Nothing (2009), Standing Before Darkness (2010) and Layer Code (2013). In 2013, he was commissioned by the Norwegian dance company Carte Blanche to create Not Here, Not Ever. Text

Sang Jijia’s As If To Nothing

As If To Nothing has two large movable white panels on stage that resemble interior walls, complete with windows and doors. They are rearranged at different sections of the piece to create different spatial impressions. One panel has a table and a door opening and the other panel has a window; together they provide an impression of being inside a home. The work starts with several dancers crisscrossing the stage in no specific direction or order. A dancer shouts the name “Noel”. A voice murmurs “seven o’clock…” in Cantonese repeatedly. A performer slams the window and door loudly, as if to compete with the pounding electronic music. Eventually, groups of two or three begin to dance together, unfolding their limbs to initiate whole body movement in sequence. Bodies are often off-centre, with the hips pushed out, limbs twisted, rarely presenting straight lines in movement. The scenes are divided by blackouts. In the second scene of the 2009 version, veteran dancer Xing Liang, who is Sangba’s colleague from the early days of GMDC and later at CCDC, performs an eloquent solo interacting with a live video projection. He captivates the audience with a flowing energy that originates from disjointed movements. His “leg fold, floor drop” sequence, echoing an earlier excerpt performed by female dancer Chang Lan Yun, is one of the highlights of the show. This technique of relating to a dance phrase by a different dancer in a different space on the stage, reminds me of Forsythe’s well-known “counterpoint” technique, which Sangba must have picked up from working with him for an extended period of time. After all, Sangba once created a piece dedicated to his mentor, simply titled For Bill (2004). Perhaps due to cultural differences, As If To Nothing presents a different ambience compared to works from the West. The subsequent scenes – the relentless rush towards the window to look out, the use of silhouettes of a trio of dancers created by lighting designer Goh Boon Ann, the lyrical music mixed live by composer Dickson Dee – create a human aspect not often seen in Forsythe’s repertoire. The simple, sharp grey costumes designed by Charfi Hung are subtle and effective, blending in with the

work’s atmosphere. The occasional bright pink fabric on the costumes of Joann Chou or Jennifer Mok poignantly brings out the high contrast. Furthermore, the live action of dancers on stage interplays with their images, projected through live feeds from hidden cameras. Video designer Adrian Yeung sometimes projects images onto white walls, sometimes over the whole area above the stage. The rhythm of the projection echoes the dancers’ movements on stage. For example, when Lam Po dances his jagged solo, the images respond with a staccato-like feed. At other times, the projection ripples as if on the surface of moving water, perhaps in response to dancers’ rolling their spines. Throughout the evening, dancers exhibit their own unique characteristics. Veteran female artist Qiao Yang shines on stage. The biggest role is Xing Liang’s, which features extended solos, especially the challenging performance towards the end. With his body twisting in different directions – head back, chest out, shoulders up, hips curved, legs extended. In such an extremely uncomfortable stance, Xing Liang dances, using his hand to lift up his chin, pushing his own physical limit. Soaked in sweat, Xing Liang is only allowed to stop at the final blackout. According to Sangba, As If To Nothing is created based on the memories of his years working with CCDC dancers. Witnessing the scenes on stage, audiences are able to tap into the shared experience of this group of artists through their kinesthetic and visual collaboration.

對 Noel 來說，編舞的形式可以有很多種嘗試，但她對自己有種默默的堅持，「我對作品的音樂、氛圍及動作的配合有很強烈的要求和執著，這次的作品雖然有點抽象，但那種對音樂和動作的切合，要很精準很精煉，要與全宇宙最夾，仍然很堅持。」

對於「資深購物狂」龐智筠 (Noel) 來說，要排一隻講「shopping」的舞一點都不困難。笑言從懂賺錢開始就已經準備好這題材的她，被淘寶購物的網上體驗所衝擊，當場決定要把「購物」搬上舞台。「這麼與日常生活緊密聯繫的題目，讓我很有發揮呀。」當下，舞蹈畫面已經一個接一個地浮現腦中，所謂的「思如泉湧」，大概就是如此。卻沒想到，排完《脫衣秀2012》中的短篇《一體兩面》，聽到有觀眾希望她在下一個作品中展現不一樣的風格，她有些傻眼，旋即一咬牙接下「戰書」，把之前腦中流光溢彩的購物畫面一下抹去，換個方式重新再來——最後的《購人心弦》，就是這樣煉成的。

今年，《購人心弦》換個場地，在香港葵青劇院再次登場，之後更要到北京演出。雖是重演，對 Noel 來說卻如同踏上全新旅程，有機會重新建構一個舊作。因應不同的演出場地及安排，Noel 將整個舞作大幅度調整，重新梳理自己一年前的創作邏輯，也嘗試放進新意思，「多了很多東西玩」她興奮地說。問 Noel 下次編舞會不會繼續這種知性的調子，她大笑：「每次都變一變吧，次次都要很嚴肅，我也很辛苦的。」

熟悉 Noel 作品的朋友，每每都被她的舞作逗得會心微笑，無論是早期的《星期一（雨）》，還是後來技藝愈發純熟的《案發現場》和《全院滿座》，那種輕巧新鮮加上一些些鬼馬的黑色幽默，往往刺得人心癢癢。這次，她「強迫」自己轉換形式，抽象一些、理性一些（只在第六幕時忍不住犒賞自己似地安排了一場嘉年華群舞），刻劃不一樣的購物狂。舞作一開場已先聲奪人，幕布拉開，堆積如山的衣褲鞋襪幾乎佔滿整個舞台，舞者在這「衣塚」中左穿右插，一段伴隨著Kerry Muzzey激烈音樂的群舞卻被局限在台中三米乘三米的狹小空間中，一種愛物至深卻又為物所困的窘迫感油然而生。接下來，一個個片段式的情景加上富象徵性的舞台意象，《購人心弦》的世界顯得熱鬧又疏離，滿溢又空虛，虛實交錯得十分過癮。

然而，這是個批判消費文化的作品嗎？Noel 不是文化研究學者，這也正是她的可愛之處。她熱愛平常生活中的各種情緒，有為每個細節編寫故事的慾望。《購人心弦》冷靜抽離，卻不板著面孔說道理。人與物的關係，仍回歸到頗富生活情趣的層面，最終又落腳到人和人的牽絆上，溫熱又真實。

龐智筠小檔案 1997年以一級榮譽畢業於香港演藝學院現代舞系，同年加入 CCDC為舞者。2009年憑《案發現場》獲《南華早報》選為「全年最佳舞蹈」，並憑《全院滿座》獲頒2012香港舞蹈年獎「最值得表揚編舞」獎。

Welcome to the World of Shopaholics ! Text

Those familiar with Noel’s work are often tickled by her pieces. Whether it is the early Rainy Days and Mondays... (2006), or the later increasingly mature Crime Scene (2009) and Off Screen (2011), their lightheartedness as well as some elements of black comedy appeal to our sense of humour. This time, she “forces” herself into a more abstract but rational style (only in the sixth scene does she allow herself a treat by creating a carnival-like group dance) to depict a different kind of shopaholism. The dance opens with a striking image: when the curtains are drawn, we see mountains of clothes and shoes filling the stage. Dancers weave their way through this “tomb of clothes”. A group dance set to the rousing music of Kerry Muzzey is confined in a small area of three square metres in the middle of the stage, creating a sense of claustrophobia, trapped by the objects that one loves. This is followed by episodic scenes accompanied by symbolic stage images. The world of The Buying Game is simultaneously crowded and alienated, full and empty.

Wei Wei

For a “veteran shopaholic” like Noel Pong, it’s not laborious to choreograph a work about “shopping” at all. Having prepared for this subject matter ever since she started to earn a living and inspired by a recent extraordinary online shopping experience on Taobao Marketplace, Noel is determined to make “shopping” real on stage: “A topic that is so intimate to everyday life gives me room for imagination.” One dance scene after another sprang to her mind, like water gushing out. After premiering a short piece called Inside Out at Strip Teaser 2012, she was surprised by the audience feedback, encouraging her to adopt a different style in her next production. She took up the challenge and completely erased original dance scenes and started over with other ideas – that’s how the final The Buying Game caught the audience’s eyes.

And yet, is this a work criticising consumer culture? Noel is not a scholar of cultural studies, which is what’s endearing about her. She loves the various emotions in ordinary life and has a desire to write stories for every detail. While cool and detached, The Buying Game is not didactic. The treatment of the relationship between man and objects is still full of interest, and is ultimately linked to complex human relationships that are warm and real. For Noel, while the choreography can take many forms, there are some things that she insists on. “I have very strict demands when it comes to the coordination between music, mood and movement. Even though this work is a bit abstract, the music and movement must match very precisely and exactly. I still insist on that.”

This time, The Buying Game will be restaged at a different venue, Kwai Tsing Theatre in Hong Kong, before touring to Beijing. Even though it is a re-run, restructuring an old work is like embarking on a whole new journey for Noel. To match the different performing venues and arrangements, Noel has made major adjustments to the choreography, rethinking her own creative logic from a year ago and trying to introduce new elements. “There are many more things to play with,” she says excitedly. Asked if she will continue with this intellectual tone in her next work, she laughs, “I’ll change a little bit each time. It’s very hard for me to be serious all the time.”

About Noel Pong Noel Pong graduated from The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts with First Class Honours in modern dance and joined CCDC in 1997. Her choreographic work Crime Scene was selected by the South China Morning Post as one of the "Best Dances" in 2009 and Off Screen (2011) won “Outstanding Choreography” in 2012 Hong Kong Dance Awards.

「雄心勃勃之作，其中包括一些引人注目的編排，並顯示龐智筠成功地在她的編舞當中注入新元素。」 ―― 香港《南華早報》 “An ambitious work that includes some striking sequences and shows Pong successfully introducing new ideas into her choreography. ” – South China Morning Post, Hong Kong

是人在購物，或是物在「扣」人？ Are you really buying the things you desire or being trapped by them?

獲頒 2012 香港舞蹈年獎「最值得表揚編舞」獎的 CCDC 編舞、舞者以及作為當今最有前途的編舞家之一的龐智筠以購物經歷創作《購人心弦》。遊走於石屎森林和指尖上的購物迷宮，被琳瑯滿目的產品和翻天覆蓋的精美圖照所俘虜。當中的感情流向為何，是單向的，還是雙向的，或是更錯綜複雜？作品於 2013 年首演時憑緊貼生活的題材及舞者精湛的演出，令演出叫好叫座，引來各方熱烈迴響。今年 7月，舞團特別將作品搬至大舞台上演，龐智筠去蕪存菁，將賣物場上的你我購物經歷活現觀眾眼前。

Noel Pong is one of today’s most promising choreographers. Winner of the 2012 Hong Kong Dance Award "Outstanding Choreography", she was inspired by a shopping encounter and created The Buying Game. Wandering between immersive shopping labyrinths in concrete jungles and virtual online shopping platforms, one is overwhelmed by a barrage of desirable things made more desirable by exquisite imagery. How do emotions flow in this world: one way, two ways, or crisscrossing? The Buying Game converses with everyday life and is realised by a cast of superb dancers, the premiere performances in 2013 were wellreceived and drew enthusiastic responses. This July, CCDC puts Pong’s renewed reflections onto a larger stage, once again analysing our shopping experience with humour and insight.

When Dancers Evolve into Choreographers Text

Yvonne Chan

Dancers and choreographers are creatures from the same genus but of different species. But sometimes, the two species blend inside one body; on other occasions, evolution occurs – the dancer morphs into a choreographer. Following the CCDC tradition, four upcoming choreographers with different experiences and from different backgrounds are invited to share the stage and have a heart-to-heart with us. Peggy: A Subterranean Encounter When you ask Peggy Lam about the relationship between dance and everyday life, she will immediately Anh: Vietnamese Warmth think of a packed underground train. “When I’m Nguyen Ngoc Anh left his home Vietnam after seven years of dance training and entered queuing for a train, I’d use some contact techniques The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts. Then he moved to Europe. Having lived and to squeeze my way into the compartment.” Life’s that worked in completely different places for several years, the diverse, colourful cultures he practical, a 100% Hong Konger. encounters take root inside him. Like most Hong Kongers, Peggy is almost suffocated He has worked with many renowned dance companies and choreographers, “Without a doubt, by the oppressively crowded life. “I’ve been a dancer working with Wayne McGregor for six years in London has been the most enlightening. It’s for many years, but this is my first choreography. not about style, it’s Wayne’s attitude. He’s someone who’s very clear about what he wants. I don’t want to bring a negative message into the He never hesitates and wastes rehearsal time. He is very cool on the surface, and he doesn’t work. Instead, I want create something that provides dress things up for dancers. No matter how good a friend you are, he won’t mix emotions an outlet, so we can all let it out a bit.” Though she with work, that’s his success.” hasn’t got concrete plans yet, in Peggy’s mind, there are some fragments – “painting a portrait, the painter Anh was picked by Wayne to join his company out of 800 candidates, “He said, it was and the seater; the relationship between the two, the because he liked my arrogance!” Ha! In Anh’s friends’ eyes, he’s always easygoing. “I think physicality and the psychology of both of them, it’s that was some kind of reflection. In the audition room, you saw how serious and strict he is. all interesting.” That energy naturally made me response accordingly.” When he talks about his work, Anh

一思一感，凝於動靜之間 The distillation of emotions between motion and stillness

四位編舞新鮮人，CCDC 舞者林詠茵、樂知靄、莫嫣及來自越南的阮日廣，以舞者的動與靜，追溯舞蹈的最初！年輕舞者莫嫣，將殘酷歷史刻劃出來的集體恐懼，化為治癒系舞蹈；林詠茵抓著混色畫板中的一抹艷紅，讓正能量躍動於五體間；人，被困於圍城中，還是自我束縛？樂知靄將打開困與被困的迷思；阮日廣探

always opens up, “Many people have told me, my work makes them tearful. I don’t believe it’s sadness or confusion – it’s because the work shows an openness and honesty. When I choreograph, I always start from myself, maybe it’s that warmth that moves audiences.”

索人體的奧妙和律動，將身體化成樂器，

Since joining CCDC in 2007, Peggy has met plenty of dance mentors. “Xing Liang’s Out Of The Box was the first time I took part in a work that has such an intense physical demand. His demonstration was perfect to the point of stunning, inspiring me to work Shirley: Let Yourself Off harder to improve myself, to move onto a higher Surely everyone would feel for this: “Often when it’s beautiful and level. As for Helen Lai, her choreography is a visual sunny outside, I’m stuck in a closed space, working. Everyone in after another visual, very clear cut, very beautiful. Hong Kong is like that – there’s no time to live, stuck at work at And Noel Pong is an extremely fast thinker, when all times. There’s no choice.” When the sweet-looking Shirley Lok I dance in her works, I have to force myself to think starts speaking, it’s about stress and pressure… Yes! We’re all stuck faster, to avoid gaps from appearing in the process.” in the same high pressure cooker. Her response is actually not that unexpected.

跳出一支獨特的韻律舞。 Four fresh choreographers –– CCDC dancers Peggy Lam, Shirley Lok and Jennifer Mok, together with Vietnamese dancer Nguyen Ngoc Anh explore the nature of dance by the movement and stillness of dancers. Jennifer Mok turns the collective fears that stem from a brutal history into a dance of healing. Peggy Lam takes the colour red from a painter’s palette and creates a dance full of positive energy. Shirley Lok breaks down the myths around the sense of feeling trapped –– by ourselves or by outside forces. Nguyen Ngoc Anh explores the complexity of the human body and its internal rhythm, expressing the body’s internal sound as if it were a musical instrument.

Since Shirley feels it so deeply, of course she puts it in her work. “I want to start from that personal sense of oppression, the pressures that come from the environment and also from people and things.” Luckily, she’s not someone who thinks herself into a dead-end. Since one can’t change the outside environment, the best way around is to learn how to unwind. “Recently, I’ve thought through it. Actually Jennifer: Inheriting Fears most of the time it isn’t the environment affecting you, it’s you giving “I’m going to start from my fears.” That’s the first thing Jennifer Mok said. Then, yourself pressure. Even when nothing at all has happened, you still she told a story. The protagonist is a comrade of her grandfather. find things to make your life difficult, causing worries to yourself.” “My dad told me, grandpa had a comrade, because he offended Jiang Qing, his punishment was to stand on a top of a ‘pyramid’ of chairs. As the stack wobbled, he fell, once, twice, three times… onto the ground, until he was paralysed and lost the ability to speak.”

At the moment, Shirley is very fond of the theme music to the film Cloud Atlas. Whenever she hears it, she feels moved and wants to cry. It also triggers lots of associations with life. “I like to dance jazz funk and I usually listen to music with a strong beat too. I don’t particularly feel much for classical music. But this piece of She wants to take this fear into the relationship between the three generations and symphonic work really strikes a cord with me, which is very rare, I’m put them into her first choreography. “Grandpa’s experience is passed onto me. thinking of incorporating it into my choreography.” What have I got from it? My parents survived from that age when all values were twisted, I can still feel their pain from that time, even today. Then it seems like we’re heading back to that time, fear is coming at us well and alive.” Jennifer’s work is taking shape, but she worries if the subject is too heavy for the dancers. “I think I’m going to start with playing some games. Because when we’re playing, we enter a more relaxed state, and at this state, our creativity usually grows stronger.” 24

城市當代舞蹈團創辦人及藝術總監

我是一個酷愛現代舞和家裡有點經濟基礎的人，在

1979 年成立城市當代舞蹈團，19 92 年協助成立廣東實驗現代舞團，2 0 0 5 年建立北京雷動天下現代舞團，到如今已經三十五年。當中風風雨雨，有時回首，自己也免不了一陣驚訝，我這是在做了些甚麼？就像海綿一樣，把外來文化好的壞的都一股腦兒有許多朋友跟我一樣喜歡舞蹈，其中學識比我優

吸進肚子裡。我當然認為現代舞是好的那一部分

秀，身家比我豐厚，人際脈絡比我廣闊的，不但在香

啦！1992 年廣東省政府成立全國第一個專業現代舞

港，甚至在中國大陸，也大有人在，他們狠拼多年，

團——廣東實驗現代舞團，我被聘為藝術總指導。一

卻回報不多；偏是我在那兒像傻子一樣地拳打腳踢，

個英國殖民地的香港人進入了國家文藝團體的領導

開天闢地的撐出三個現代舞團。由是我相信，不是我

班子，當時的我是愣愣地沒有覺得甚麼大不了，過後

有意識地做了些甚麼大事，而是中國現代舞的開展機

一想，才發現那是國家破天荒的文化政策創舉，就如

遇恰好落在我頭上，是舞蹈挑選了我。

某位國家領導人接見我的時候，語重心長地對我說：如果不是改革開放，這就是不行的！

我有幸生長在中國改革變化最好的時刻，目睹國家我雖然在 19 9 8 年便到了北京舞蹈學院教課，並在

剛從二十世紀初最艱難的境況幸存下來，跌跌碰碰

1999 年獲邀成為北京現代舞團的藝術總監，可是北京現代舞團自1995 年建團時開始，便是屬於北京市歌舞團管轄下的一個單位，在尚是傳統積集的老北京裡，人事自然複雜牽連，工作並不暢順。直到踏進二十一世紀，隨著申奧成功，國際目光聚焦北京，國家的文藝政策改革也勢在必行。2005 年 6月，政府宣佈中國公民可以私人註冊成立在國家體制之外的文藝團體，因此在同年 9月，我才有機會和朋友們合作建立了北京雷動天下現代舞團，成為新體制、新氣象下，第一個沒有政府背景的獨立專業現代舞團，而我便成為這個來之不易，卻又是水到渠成的舞團的藝術總監。

地努力翻身，以至一切準備就緒，容許我全心全意地跳我自己喜歡的舞。舞蹈的過程中當然困難不少，但做藝術的有哪個是一馬平川毫無阻礙呢？因此每當我像現在寫文章般的回顧過去，總會對社會，對時代心存感激。三個舞團，分別見證著三個城市的經濟起飛，也代表著中國改革開放的三個階段：香港於二十世紀七十年代成為「亞洲四小龍」之一，創造著一個又一個經濟奇蹟，整個城市一天變一個樣，也孕育著城市當代舞蹈團的出現。1979 年我從香港大學拿了個工商管理碩士頭銜，卻一頭鑽進了專業現代舞的天地。剛好中國在打倒「四人幫」後，百廢待舉，於同年宣佈改革開放。舞團翌年（1980 年）便在開放政策的運作下，成為歷史上第一個被邀請

Awakening in the Land of the Dragon Text

Willy Tsao, Founder and Artistic Director of CCDC

Many people love dance as much as I do. Some of them are more learned than me, wealthier than me or have better connections than me. There are plenty of them in both Hong Kong and mainland China. They have been trying for years, but they may not have accomplished a great deal, whereas a fool like me has miraculously created three modern dance companies. That’s why I think that it is not that I have consciously done anything great, but the task of developing Chinese modern dance has fallen on me by chance – as if dance had chosen me. I am lucky to live in a time when China is carrying out its best reforms. I saw how the country gradually rose from its most difficult times in the early 20th century, until circumstances allowed me to devote myself to the dance I love most. Of course there have been hard times in the process, but which artist has not encountered obstacles in his career? That’s why whenever I write an article looking back, my heart is filled with gratitude for society and the times. The three dance companies have witnessed the economic takeoff of three cities respectively and stand for three stages in the reform and opening up of China. During the 1970s, Hong Kong became one of Asia’s Four Little Dragons, accomplishing one economic miracle after another. The whole city changed from day to day, and became the breeding ground of a company like CCDC. In 1979, after taking an MBA degree at the University of Hong Kong, I tumbled into the world of professional modern dance. In the same year, China announced its policy of reform and opening up after the Gang of Four was toppled. In 1980, CCDC became the first modern dance group to be invited to perform in the mainland under the openingup policy. When I walked across the bridge from Lo Wu to Shenzhen with trepidation, everything seemed so strange. But in introspect, that step was a harbinger of the influence Hong Kong’s modern dance would have on China. The 90s was a period of rich harvest for the reform and opening up of China. In the wake of Deng Xiaoping’s southern tour and speech, economic development of the coastal areas of Southern China went ahead in full force. Economic takeoff was accompanied by a demand for culture. At the time, Guangzhou was like a sponge absorbing all the good and bad of foreign culture. Of course, I regard modern dance as the good part. In 1992, the Guangdong Provincial Government set up the Guangdong Modern

Dance Company, the first professional modern dance company in China, and hired me as Artistic Director. While it did not seem such a big deal to me at the time, I realised later that it was an unprecedented step for China to appoint a resident of Hong Kong, then a British colony, to head a Chinese arts organisation. When I was received by a certain Chinese leader, he told me it would not be possible if it were not for the policy of reform and opening up. In 1998, I went to teach at the Beijing Dance Academy and was invited to become Artistic Director of the Beijing Modern Dance Company in 1999. Since its inception in 1995, the company had been administered by the Beijing Municipal Song and Dance Company. In Beijing at that time where tradition was still deep-rooted, personnel affairs were complicated and my work did not go smoothly. As the 21st century began, all eyes were on Beijing when it won the bid to hold the Olympic Games; it became imperative for China to carry out reforms in its arts and cultural policy. In June 2005, the government announced that Chinese residents would be allowed to register and set up private cultural and arts organisations outside the state system. Thus, in September of the same year, I was able to set up BeijingDance/LDTX with friends. It is the first independent professional modern dance company without government background in the new climate, and I became Artistic Director of this company, which did not come easily but came into existence when the time was ripe. My friends asked me jokingly where I would set up the fourth company. Actually, I never planned to set up any dance company at all. I just love dancing and wish to share it with other people. But such sharing needs certain social conditions and the right time to make it happen. I was lucky to find associates in Hong Kong, Guangzhou and Beijing who share the joy of dancing with me. Together, we have jumped on the bandwagon of social change and listened to the sound of the wheel of history moving forward. As to where this bandwagon would take us in the vast territory of China next, I have no way of knowing. 30

Journey to the West

CCDC 媒體實驗室

CCDC Media Lab

Nine Chapters About Desire Text

Miranda Li, CCDC Media Lab Project Manager

It’s all about lust for life It’s all about thirst for the West

dance; parkour practitioners dressed in the yellow tracksuit made famous by Bruce Lee in The Game of Death doing jumps and somersaults in the crowd; aerial hoop dancers stretching elegantly in mid-air to variations on music from the Cantonese opera The Story of Princess Chang Ping; an aerial dancer performing turns suspended on ribbons printed with the Chinese and British national flags, to the soundtrack of a Cantonese TV drama. And when a Red Guard, the British monarch and a Hong Konger dressed in a t-shirt printed with the calligraphy graffiti of Tsang Tsou-choi (or the “King of Kowloon”) met, they produced surprising sparks… At the end, using video mapping technology, the multimedia designer projected images of the city from the 1970s and 1980s onto a red-brick wall. Amid light and shadows, a male dancer sang a medley of pop songs that jogged Hong Kong’s collective memory; on the other side of the stage, dancers built a house with LED lights. Does the slogan “Hong Kong is my home” represent a kind of nostalgia, or hope for the future?

This was the premise of Journey to the West. Acting as a facilitator, the enfant terrible of Hong Kong dance, Daniel Yeung, brought together various artists on a temporary, purpose-built stage in the Portland Street / Man Ming Lane Sitting-out Area in Yau Ma Tei, presenting his trademark multimedia and pluralistic dance work. Local residents and their friends turned the small park into a night bazaar, echoing the colourful Temple Street and highlighting the friendly atmosphere of Yau Ma Tei. On a cool early winter night, the one-hour show, mixing East with West, brought a sense of novelty, amazement and much laughter to local Chinese, South Asian residents, as well as mainland and foreign tourists. Director and choreographer Daniel Yeung teamed up with multimedia artists, musicians, drummer and fashion designer, while experts in different dance genres came together to showcase their skills. There were modern dance, ballet, pole dance, aerial hoop, aerial silk, tap dance, parkour and fire dance performances (in the latter, naked flame had to be replaced by LED due to venue constraints). Some of these dance forms are rarely seen in local theatres, let alone at a free performance in an informal outdoor venue. This unprecedented collaboration was seen on two consecutive nights. A total of four performances attracted an audience of more than 4,000, making the CCDC Media Lab’s debut production a great success.

Other than a stunning performance, the audience also had the chance to get to know the distinctive and vibrant old Yau Ma Tei. Between two performances, CCDC organised a free “Guided Tour@ YMT” with Hulu Culture, taking audience members to historical landmarks of Yau Ma Tei and inviting them to experience Temple Street. At the venue, sound and media artist Samson Young presented his latest mobile media work Your very empty seat, or a delicate access, allowing audience members to “eavesdrop” on the sounds at different hours near the park through their smart phones.

Journey to the West was the first programme of the Contestable Funding Pilot Scheme of the Home Affairs Bureau. Yau Ma Tei was chosen as the performance site because this West Kowloon district is rich in indigenous flavour, boasting a grassroots culture and a mix of people from all walks of life and nationalities. Apart from highlighting Hong Kong’s pluralistic character, it was also a reflection of the West Kowloon Cultural District as a projection of Hong Kong’s desire for high art. Additionally, the production offered a chance to meditate on Hong Kong’s past, present and future. There were many crossovers in the performance: Chinese music clashing with Hawaiian fire dance and alluring pole © Cheung Chi-wai

By choosing not to work in established performance venues and forms, Journey to the West stimulated much discussion. While for some such a grassroots area is not the place to present “high art”, others feel that there should be more high-calibre outdoor performances for local residents. Art should provoke discussion and Journey to the West provided such a platform. Hong Kong’s arts development needs outstanding performers, dedicated arts administrators (with the assistance of colleagues in the field) and supportive audiences as well as the public’s endorsement, so art can be created and seen in public or private spaces outside formal theatres.

The CCDC Media Lab is a new initiative created by CCDC in 2013. Its goal is to develop the countless potentials between dance and multimedia, bringing exceptional dance experiences to our audiences. Supported by the Home Affairs Bureau’s Contestable Funding Pilot Scheme, the Lab has already made numerous breakthroughs for the Hong Kong dance scene: 1. The Lab invited renowned Hong Kong dancerchoreographer Daniel Yeung and dance artists of different genres to collaboratively create an outdoor multimedia dance performance Journey to the West, which featured modern dance, ballet, pole dance, aerial hoop, aerial silk, tap dance, parkour and fire dance;

to certain feelings. I create a large framework, within which the choreographers and dancers have the freedom to produce their work.” This is the first time Dickson has participated in the development and planning of a dance concept. Actually, he first had this idea six or seven years ago. When he saw some petrified tree trunks in Foshan, Guangdong, he was so struck by the beauty of their texture that he decided at once that he wanted to use them in a multimedia installation, first showing them in a concrete jungle, before “returning” them to a forest – nature – for display. These trunks are trees that have been buried in the mud. In the absence of oxygen and under high pressure, bacterial action takes place, where carbonisation transforms them over several thousand years. For Dickson, this represents the process of renewal and regeneration and coincides with the Taoist philosophy of nature.

Renowned experimental Hong Kong composer Dickson Dee, who has collaborated with CCDC several times, is actually quite an expert on Taoism. While studying graphic design and abstract painting at design school, Dickson was deeply influenced by his teachers and paid great attention to the balance of things. He draws inspiration from the Taoist jiugong (nine rectangle grid), bagua (eight trigrams) and wuxing (five elements), applying these concepts to graphic design and music composition. They have been influencing his way of life since student days. The CCDC Media Lab invited Dickson to collaborate with dancer, choreographer and winner of multiple Hong Kong Dance Awards, Xing Liang, and outstanding choreographer Mui Cheuk-yin to create Momentum, a site-specific dance performance combining dance and a sound installation.

X: Actually this work does not distinguish between traditional culture and contemporary art. This is a new understanding for me personally. Of course, the free spirit of Taoism also makes me feel more relaxed about creating. As for chemistry, it inspires me to observe and pay attention to the environment around us.

X: I think the original idea was to create a harmonious atmosphere with the environment. It’s about the spirit of environmental protection. But later, we found that the whole project actually covers many broad issues. As Mui said, it’s the “interaction between man and nature”. For us, the Five Elements and the Eight Trigrams are very challenging. Even though the Taoist philosophy of nature has more or less seeped into everyday life, it is still unknown to us. The greatest revelation has been how man interacts with different spaces. It’s a new perception of space to me. When we work with the dancers, we are also learning which of the Five Elements corresponds to which part of the body. After understanding our own structure, we apply the new knowledge to the treatment of the theme, such as dealing with happiness, anger, grief and joy, and the Five Elements (metal, wood, water, fire and earth), extracting the elements and then compiling them together.

C: How is the collaboration? What kind of message do you want to convey to the audience? M: The collaboration is of course great. The theme is the fusion of dance with the environment. I hope the audience will be curious and want to explore unknown or natural environments. X: Indeed. This time, instead of emphasising the technique of choreography, we take things as they come, just like the Taoist spirit: “the law of the Tao is its being what it is”. On one hand, the dance contains the energy given by us; we hope that the audience can feel its inner spirit. On the other hand, we hope the audience can see this dance as an interpretation of the circle of life.

梅卓燕小檔案 About Mui Cheuk-yin 梅卓燕自八十年代活躍於香港舞蹈界，曾演繹及創作多齣佳作。她兩度代表香港應邀參與翩娜．包殊烏珀塔爾舞蹈劇場紀念節演出，好評如潮。梅氏亦是多屆香港舞蹈年獎得主，現為CCDC客席編舞，並擔任香港藝術發展局藝術範疇（舞蹈界）代表。 Mui Cheuk-yin has been active in the Hong Kong dance scene since the 1980s, interpreting and creating many outstanding works. She has represented Hong Kong twice in festivals, working with Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch to great acclaim. She is also a winner of multiple Hong Kong Dance Awards. Mui is currently an Associate Choreographer of CCDC and the Representative of Arts Interest (Dance) at the Hong Kong Arts Development Council.

Momentum is a celebration of nature. The dance will fill the performance venue with positive energy, so that the audience can feel a calming atmosphere. Dickson explains, “I arrange the music according to the jiugong and bagua positions of Taoism, as well as the Five Elements – the sounds correspond to each of the Five Elements, while the dance movements also correspond

M: A s a Hong Konger living in an old district, I constantly come into contact with this integration between the traditional and the contemporary in life. I think it is very important to think about the relationship between them.

M: The initial idea was about interaction with nature. The ideas that inspire us this time are very new to us, stimulating our self-understanding and self-awakening. Without going into the esoteric Taoist philosophy of nature, the idea that the Five Elements promote and overcome each other corresponds to the things we do to adapt to various changes in life, and to the close relationship between our dance and life.

“Sound is the origin of this work. The installation is the carrier of sound. Dead branches, plants and urban trash express my idea of the cycle of life. The idea of balance represented by the use of jiugong and bagua is something new for the dancers. I hope this will be a new attempt for them, so that they and the audience will realise that traditional culture can also be contemporary, and that it needs to be understood from new perspectives.” Dickson followed his original idea and designed two versions – natural forest and concrete jungle. The former is set on the Peak. As the composer and sound installation designer, Dickson uses pebbles and pieces of wood to create the installation. The installation’s arrangement plus the flow and movement of dancers are placed within a larger framework of jiugong, bagua and the Five Elements. The concrete jungle version will be shown at 1a Space, Cattle Depot Artist Village in To Kwa Wan. It is an interactive multimedia installation where viewers can participate and learn about the Taoist orientation towards nature within another framework of jiugong and bagua. In both versions, Dickson reflects the environmental destruction caused by rapid urban development through installation art, while the dance is about harmony and co-existence with nature.

To “co-exist with Heaven and Earth and unite with all things” is a central idea of Taoism, from which the idea of “mutual promotion and continuation, transformation and development of all things” derived. This corresponds to the notion of the Five Elements – metal, wood, water, fire and earth – promoting and overcoming each other. Humans and the environment co-exist. The environment affects human existence, while humans influence the development of nature. Only when man and nature exist in harmony, then there can be sustainable development. This is why Taoism is relevant to modern society. In conceiving Momentum, Dickson uses “tao” to highlight the increasingly serious environmental problems caused by rapid globalisation. Social space is becoming more and more compressed, and the natural environment continues to shrink. Growing hypocrisy, destruction and indifference create a sense of oppression. He wants people to get closer to nature, listen to her sounds, be grateful and caring.

C: This work integrates traditional culture with contemporary art. Is there any chemistry between them?

C: What is the concept of this show? How does the Taoist philosophy of nature such as the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams inspire your choreography?

Xing Liang and Mui Cheuk-yin are exploring Taoism in dance for the first time. How do the choreographers find inspiration in Taoist philosophy and incorporate them into their work? Keep reading!

Born in Beijing, Xing Liang graduated from the classical dance division at the Beijing Dance Academy. He has won numerous awards, including the Ten Best Performers in China and gold prizes at international dance competitions. He is both an outstanding dancer and a critically acclaimed choreographer.

《編舞之外》拍攝現場 Shooting for Hyperchoreography

跳格十年不經不覺，跳格國際舞蹈影像節已踏入十周年，自 2004年起每雙數年舉行，集委約創作、比賽及影展於一身的盛事，加上單數年舉行的影像展，期間見證了藝術家們從早期對藝術形式的探索、風格的建立，更運用科技使作品更多元化，令舞蹈這個表演藝術能以數碼媒體呈現，並於國際影壇上嶄露頭角。

This year, the Jumping Frames International Dance Video Festival celebrates its 10th anniversary. Held every two years since 2004, the Festival features commissioned works, a competition as well as public screenings. In the intervening years when the Festival isn’t staged, there is a special showcase. We have since witnessed many artists’ early explorations in the art form and their stylistic development, as well as the increased use of technology to make works more diverse. The showcase of dance as a performing art through digital media has emerged as a new force in international film festivals.

previous edition, we have introduced a short film category and a documentary category. Finalists will be screened publicly and a jury panel will select winners on the spot. There is also a new Audience Choice award, allowing audience members to have their say. Outside the cinema, the Festival programme is equally enticing. Choreographer Sang Jijia and Scottish directors Katrina McPherson and Simon Fildes have developed a new method of directing called “hyperchoreography” for this year’s Jumping Frames. Visitors can create their own dance works by operating an interactive installation that edits the short dance films stored in its system. The unique dance images created will be shown over six monitors. This programme allows dance artists to review their works, as well as turns those who cannot dance from passive viewers into active participants.

The 6th Jumping Frames Festival, like previous editions, encourages experimentation. This year, the Festival will be held at the Broadway Cinema at The ONE in Tsim Sha Tsui, opening with the premiere of the 3D movie In Search of the Grand View Garden. It is a collaboration between CCDC Artistic Director Willy Tsao and renowned cinematographer Henry Chung and is the first 3D production by CCDC. We have also commissioned five original works, premiering in the “Local Focus: New Productions from the Greater China Region” section. The commissions include: Elegy by Rita Hui, which is based on the parable Lament to the Drowned by Tang Dynasty writer Liu Zongyuan and Hui’s work was selected by the 14th Busan International Film Festival; Lucy by the Guangzhou avant-garde artist He Ergao, which is developed from his eponymous stage work; An African Walk in the Land of China, a joint production between the Guangdong Modern Dance Company and Belgian director Pierre Larauza, who was featured in Jumping Frames 2012 with Landscape Duet; and two works by winners of the One-minute Jumping Frames Dance Video Competition, Let’s Say and You will Fall Again, by Hong Kong directors Li De and Fok Pak-to and Spanish director Alex Pachon respectively. There are also new elements in the competition. Because of the diversity of works submitted to the

In the past year, Jumping Frames works were featured at the Cannes Film Festival and the Asiatica Film Festival in Rome. We are actively arranging screenings overseas and in the mainland. We are also entering commissioned works from previous editions into film festivals around the world, bringing local independent productions to international audiences. We look forward to seeing you at this year’s Jumping Frames Festival.

Spectacularly Three-dimensional

首部本土3D舞蹈電影《尋找大觀園》於去年十二月劇場版公演後隨即開鏡，拍攝場地由劇場伸延到空曠恬靜的草原、車水馬龍的鬧市、再回到CCDC的發源地――天台排練室，除標誌著CCDC的歷史發展、表現現代舞蹈的多元性外，更是一場震動藝壇的媒體革命！

科技與舞蹈的完美結合《尋找大觀園》以中國名著《紅樓夢》為藍本，由環境舞蹈開始，改版為劇場表演，繼而發展成 3D 舞蹈電影。由資深電影攝影師鍾有添掌鏡，採用與荷里活鉅製《哈比人》同級的 3D 器材拍攝，將舞者動作的流麗以及場景空間的

穿越古今，尋找生活中的大觀園於電影版中，劇場的拍攝依然佔重非常，打破劇場中觀眾與舞者的既定距離，同時加插不同具香港特色的場景，如西九龍海濱長廊、南生圍、工廠大廈、石板街等，將現代舞融入生活，配以中國評彈音樂，傳統與摩登、古典與現代共冶一爐，成就 CCDC 非凡之作。 © Jaye Chan

3D 舞蹈電影《尋找大觀園》將安排於 9月「第六屆跳格國際舞蹈影像節」作世界首映。躍動十年，撼動感官的最高舞蹈享受，於初秋全面爆發！ 44

Searching for the Grand View Garden in Everyday Life Through the Centuries

The first Hong Kong 3D dance movie In Search of the Grand View Garden started shooting shortly after the stage version closed in December 2013. The locations stretched from the stage into a quiet open field, the bustling city and CCDC’s rooftop studio – back to where the Company was first established. Not only does the movie symbolise the development of CCDC and the multifaceted nature of modern dance, it also represents a breakthrough in the dance film medium.

In the film version, shooting in the theatre still occupies an important place. Bridging the inevitable distance between audience and dancers in the theatre, the film is interspersed with distinctive Hong Kong locations, such as the West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade, Nam Sang Wai, factory buildings and Pottinger Street. Merging modern dance with everyday life and accompanying it with pingtan (classical Chinese storytelling and ballad singing), the film blends the traditional with the modern, and the classical with the contemporary, creating an extraordinary CCDC production.

A Seamless Combination of Technology and Dance Based on the Chinese literary masterpiece Dream of the Red Chamber, In Search of the Grand View Garden began as a sitespecific dance performance and was adapted for the stage. Now, it is turned into a 3D dance movie shot by veteran cinematographer Henry Chung with 3D equipment of the same standard as those used to shoot the Hollywood film The Hobbit. Projecting dancer’s fluid movement and the settings three-dimensionally onto the big screen, it is a perfect combination of dance and 3D technology.

The 3D dance film In Search of the Grand View Garden will have its world premiere at the 6th Jumping Frames International Dance Video Festival in September 2014. Don’t miss this cinematic dance spectacle this autumn!

Growing side-by-side with Hong Kong’s own progress and development, CCDC Dance Centre has created many dance legends and nurtured generations of aspiring dancers over the years. The city has come to occupy a special place on the map of modern dance internationally.

Co-organised with the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, China Dance Forward invites Chinese dancers from Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland (with the goal of expanding to other regions in the future) to get together to exchange ideas. The project also showcases the unique character of works by young Chinese dance artists to Hong Kong audiences, demonstrating how dance culture moves toward freedom and diversity, and how it manifests an original, contemporary and innovative spirit. The works selected are down-to-earth, revealing the concerns and attitudes of Chinese youth today.

The 2013 Hong Kong film The Way We Dance brilliantly combines dance with a metaphor for the city, mirroring Hong Kong’s mix of Chinese and Western elements. The production also reveals the difficulties faced by Hong Kong’s cultural sector: although cultural and recreational activities have become regular consumer products, those working in cultural organisations often have to jump through hoops to secure venues, performances and creative resources. Without a sustainable platform, works created often have a very short lifespan.

As we see contemporary dance thrive in this city, as we see artists creating new dance works in the city, the influence of CCDC Dance Centre is clear – extending from Hong Kong to Guangzhou, from Beijing to wider Asia. CCDC Dance Centre helps shape the unique character and image of Hong Kong. By setting distinctive contemporary Chinese dance against the backdrop of the world, CCDC reveals the chemistry of young dancers from different regions crossing paths. It is these young dancers who are paving the way for the blossoming of contemporary Chinese dance.

華人最具特色的當代舞蹈放在上面，讓人看到來自五湖四海年青舞蹈家的足跡，產生「化學」變化，同時亦期待著華人當代舞蹈百花齊放。

除了對香港舞蹈的支持，CCDC 秉承「匯聚華人精英，創造當代中國舞蹈」的願景，更在開拓內地市場及文化交流上扮演著重要的角色。除鼓勵本地及非本地團體創作外，CCDC 每年支持不同的團隊及作品在中國舞蹈發展計劃中的「北京舞蹈雙周」和「廣東現代舞周」進行演出。「北京舞蹈雙周」匯聚全國及國際的舞蹈精英，是交流、培訓、展演的平台；「廣東現代舞周」更為香港的藝 48

As a modern dance company “rooted in Hong Kong with an international outlook” and one of the nine major arts groups funded by the Hong Kong Government, CCDC is a platform that promotes the development of dance in Hong Kong. Over the past year, its projects included: CCDC Dance Centre’s WuDaoQingNian Podium Dance Performance; the Partnership Programme that sponsors rehearsal venues; the East City Creative Dance Festival, which is jointly organised by the HKICC Lee Shau Kee School of Creativity and E-Side Dance Company; and the REAL Showcase New Series, a collaboration with the Hong Kong Dance Alliance. Providing a space for small experimental dance groups to create and grow in Hong Kong, CCDC has helped expand the city’s dance ecology. CCDC won the "Award for Arts Sponsorship” at the 2012 Hong Kong Arts Development Awards for its venue sponsorship under the CCDC Dance Centre’s Partnership Programme. Following the vision of rallying the best of Chinese talent to create dance in the contemporary context of China, CCDC plays an important role in opening up the mainland market and facilitating artistic exchange. Apart from encouraging local and non-local groups to create new works, CCDC supports the presentation of different dance groups and works at the Beijing Dance Festival and the Guangdong Dance Festival under its China Dance Development Programme. A platform for exchange, training and performance, the Beijing Dance Festival gathers together top dancers from all over China and the world, while the Guangdong Dance Festival provides an opportunity for Hong Kong groups to come together with international curators and artists, giving both seasoned and upcoming groups a chance to enter the international stage.

「創意城市東邊舞蹈節」由CCDC與香港兆基創意書院及東邊舞蹈團合辦，當中包括環境舞蹈演出和舞蹈影像放映等多個精彩節目。 The East City Creative Dance Festival, jointly organised by CCDC, HKICC Lee Shau Kee School of Creativity and E-Side Dance Company, consisted of a wide variety of programmes including site-specific dance performances and dance video screenings.

香港是珠三角地區現代舞發展最早並且最成熟的地方，其舞蹈作品中情感的冷峻、觸角的銳利、心態的輕鬆和敏銳的思維獨具本土特色，而讓這些風格迥異並富新意的香港舞蹈節目在國際平台上展演，亦是CCDC的使命之一。回顧 2013 年，「北京舞蹈雙周」已逐步樹立品牌特色，成為全國以及國際性的舞蹈盛事，並且是集合教育、研討及展演的全方位交流平台。從 2004 年舉行至今的「廣東

2014 年，CCDC 在民政事務局「具競逐元素的資助試驗計劃」的支持下開展中國網絡計劃，讓國內觀眾有機會感受到香港獨特的文化特色，而「北京舞蹈雙周――香港日」和「廣東現代舞周――聚焦香港」亦應運而生，它們向國內乃至世界的觀眾展現香港舞蹈家的作品，也讓年輕的香港舞蹈家認識來自世界各地的舞蹈家，爭取更多的演出機會，促進香港與國內，甚至國際的現代舞發展。

Hong Kong’s modern dance development has the earliest start and is the most mature in the Pearl River Delta region. Sober emotions, keen observations, a laid-back attitude and sharp thinking are some of the unique characteristics of modern dance created in Hong Kong. One of CCDC’s missions is to bring these diverse, original Hong Kong dance works to the international stage.

Looking back at 2013, we saw the Beijing Dance Festival gradually establishing its trademark characteristics; it has become an important national and international dance event, with an all-round exchange platform for education, research and performance. The Guangdong Dance Festival, since its establishment in 2004, has undergone significant changes: it has developed into an international exchange platform for dancers, allowing sophisticated, cutting edge dance groups to take the international stage. In keeping with the open and forward-looking attitude of Guangdong Province, the Guangdong Dance Festival also attempts to take modern dance out of the theatre and into public spaces. One of its initiatives is setting up a stage in a residential neighbourhood, connecting local Guangzhou communities with modern dance through viewing, interaction, encounter and dissemination. The China Dance Network has gradually built up with consistent support from CCDC. First-tier cities – such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou – have increased in cultural importance as their commitment to art grows alongside China’s artistic development and rapid urban transformations. Thus, deepening the exchange and strengthening the cooperation between modern dance scenes of mainland China and Hong Kong would undoubtedly benefit the development of modern dance in Hong Kong, making it more diverse and helping to boost and revitalise its creativity. The China Networking project supported by Home Affairs Bureau’s “Contestable Funding Pilot Scheme” gives mainland Chinese audiences a chance to learn about Hong Kong’s cultural offerings. Events like the Beijing Dance Festival’s “Hong Kong Day” and the Guangdong Dance Festival’s “Focus in Hong Kong” introduce works by Hong Kong dancers to mainland and world audiences. They also allow Hong Kong dancers to meet colleagues from all around the world and get more performing opportunities, thereby contributing to the development of modern dance in both Hong Kong and mainland China, as well as expanding the horizons of the international contemporary dance scene. This year, the two most prominent Chinese dance festivals will showcase more than 10 groups of Hong Kong dance artists.
