Threshold
Ingress
After Threshold-Egress, Threshold-Ingress, the second programme of the cultural exchange dance series, is a double-bill dance performance created by the young choreographers from Singapore and Hong Kong. Both works are world premieres performed by five Hong Kong dancers.
Singaporean choreographer Dapheny explores what it means to be an “artworker” with non-traditional working class or “blue-collar” background, that is not categorized yet as belonging to one of these categories, using a provocative dance conversation to reflect uniqueness and diversity. Hong Kong choreographer, the Associate Artistic Director of Passoverdance, Gabbie debuts her first full-length dance creation that explores survival vs. existence—a call for self-reflection.
