Up Close and Personal

Young Choreographers showcase

Shedding the classic images of 19th century princes and princesses, 7 budding choreographers from the Company will reveal their true selves as individuals living and breathing in the 21st century in 7 new works.

What's more, you are invited to see them up close in a studio environment - their 'home' in the Hong Kong Cultural Centre.

Be sure not to miss this rare occasion! The audience capacity is limited to 100 people.

Frontier

Choreography: Nobuo Fujino

Throughout life we cross paths with countless people and form relationships based on friendship, love, work and sometimes even deception. As we connect with others we must rely on ourselves as there is no way to truly look inside a person's soul. It reveals the extraordinary emotions that develop from human interaction.

Let It Go

Choreography: Li Yi-ran

LOVE is no longer pure; we have too many desires. Is it true that the love we yearn for only exists in fiction and film? Or do we have a choice?

...and you are?

Choreography: Jonathan Mangosing

80s nouveau pop/rocks has made its way into the ballet just as The Ting Tings have recently brought their act to Hong Kong this March. This piece embodies the playfulness and attitude of The Ting Tings' hit song That's Not My Name.

SHIFTS IN NOTION

Choreography: Carlo Pacis

Inspired by the biography of Catherine de Medici and the forces that pulled and shaped her being, the piece is an exploration of movement possibilities as well as the experiences that affect who we are as individuals.

The Moment

Choreography: Aurora Kwong

We often cherish memories of past relationships. Whether filled with compassion or cruelty, loyalty or betrayal, we have to wake up after all and decide the way we truly want to live.

oMo-child

Choreography: Hikota Taira

"Omocha" means "toys" in Japanese. When you grow up, does the toy from your childhood still have meaning? Is it still something that belongs to you?

Flash

Choreography: Eve Chan

We are moving forward, yet we are confused. As we move forward, what have we gained? And what have we lost?
