Convergence
Infinity of Movement and Stillness
Synopsis
Convergence is the culmination of an interdisciplinary research study on Chinese dance and Chinese martial arts traditions. This is the first live performance of Convergence in Hong Kong. Its inaugural performance, co-presented with Freespace, was broadcast online in 2020, due to the pandemic. Convergence was awarded the Hong Kong Dance Award for Outstanding Online Production in 2022.
In the Company’s three-year-long study, our artists explored the essence of these traditional practices, discovering new perspectives on movement and the fluidity of expression between ideology and physical gesture. In this synergy of dance and martial arts, the dancers bring these discoveries together, capturing the transience between stillness and motion, tranquillity and exuberance.
