William W.Y. Chan
- 選曲有意思,現場音樂效果不錯! - 結尾一場自說自話有趣且有力! - 演出開首跟結尾以文本誦讀有意思,有強烈指涉卻不失味道!

TSANG Kam-sing
- 演出中能看到多位藝術家的發揮,感受到他們內涵的成就。 - 在演出中能看到編舞對香港的情景感覺,以不同手法藝術呈現不同段落。 - 編舞能適當運用到燈光、視覺,以及舞台設計,將舞台的多樣化呈現。- - 在節目中印象較深刻其中一場,演出中將所有波鞋散落到舞台每一角落,形成藝術提升舞蹈的高潮,發揮情感的體驗。

Ogawa Kimiyo (International Bandoneon Player)
I was really impressed with this work ... Release from oppression. freedom. My heart trembled by their power, the quality of the works. I think it's really amazing to create and perform this piece in Hong Kong, not just corona, but politically suppressed. I thought it was art that people express their thoughts in their hearts.

Carmen Lo(Artistic Director of Cinematic Theatre)
《球賽》要看!黃色隊伍被男裁判亂吹出場,女裁判接任變本加厲,黃色隊伍被DQ更多,女裁判的舞步可圈可點,藍色隊伍勝出……球鞋從高處墮下……,紅線圍在球場鐵絲網外,整場賽事已被全盤控制……,球員規矩地練習,扭曲的身子逐一墮入地下……(不劇透了)片尾音樂很好……看到最後一刻有彩蛋! | |

Review on OMTT 2020-21 1st Semester
The 2nd cohort of OMTT has finished its first semester. The mid- term camp originally scheduled from 29 to 31 Jan 2021 was cancelled due to pandemic. The workshops were held in Y-Space studio, Nam Chung PEACE and Theatre-Y. Y-Space is honored to invite guest lecturer Ng Sze Wan to lead improvisation workshop, and Cheung Chi Wai to lead photography workshop. Students were able to utilize their knowledge in first semester during the intensive training. Another important part of training is training in nature. With the support of PEACE, students make use of the natural resources in Nam Chung to create their unique production. The final part would be a 30 mins improvisation showcase in Theatre-Y with the accompaniment of Nelson Hiu and Wilson Tsang, concluding the first semester programme.

Dance “IN” Possible !? I, II, III returning to theatre this summer
Are you missing Y-Space's "Transdance" performance from Dance “IN” Possible series in 2019? In the coming June, you will have the chance to trance the beginning of the series! Dance “In” Possible I, II and III is reviving in theatre after 20 years since their premiere!
With minimal crew and resources, the work pushed the limits of the theatre space, and so stretched the limits of creativity, to find what is “in” the possible from the impossible. Dance “In” Possible!? I explored the organic combination of theatre and dance; Dance “In” Possible!? II - Dark Corner goes beyond the visual presentation in dance performance; Dance “IN” Possible III – This is a Dance Performance!? requires imagination from audiences to complete the work.
Let's flashback on Dance “IN” Possible series for now!

Hong Kong Dance Company – Grand Original Dance Poem “Shan Shui: An Ode to Nature”
A Waltz of Nature's Timeless Charm
Shanshui (landscape) paintings are an important vehicle for art and philosophy in traditional Chinese culture. Through depicting the external environment, artists give expression to the internal human world, revealing the relationship between man and nature.
In this work, Hong Kong Dance Company draws on the image of nature under the brush, painting an inner world beyond the confines of time or space through dance. The dancers' bodies become the brush's dots, dashes and vigorous strokes; they are the artist's eye for rhyme, rhythm and internal beauty.
Sense the power of nature through the body, take in worldly beauty and meditate on the origins of life. Pass through mountains and over waters, and with a full heart, let the limits of the self and the physical world dissolve.
21 — 22.5.2021 (Fri — Sat) 7:45pm 22 — 23.5.2021 (Sat —Sun) 3:00pm Grand Theatre, Hong Kong Cultural Centre $480 $380 $280 $180 $80 (Evenings) $440 $340 $240 $140 $80 (Matinees)
