Hong Kong dancer Mui Cheuk-yin will collaborate with Beijing dancer Xing Liang for a modern dance show at Hall A of OCAT Shenzhen, where hundreds of bamboo stalks are on display for the “Bamboo Path” exhibition.
A choreographer and artistic director, Mui has been at the forefront of the dance scene in Hong Kong for over 30 years. After early training in Chinese classical and ethnic dances, she joined the Hong Kong Dance Company in 1981 where she was a principal dancer until 1990, excelling in lead roles in productions such as “The Yellow Earth,” “Jade Love” and “Rouge.” Her choreographic journey began in 1985 when she won the Hong Kong Young Choreographer Competition, which led her to New York to study modern dance.
A Beijing native now based in Hong Kong, Xing has been dubbed the “epitome of an exceptional Chinese dancer” and “China’s superstar of modern dance.” He has been awarded the Hong Kong Dance Award three times by the Hong Kong Dance Alliance.
More than 200 5-meter tall green bamboo stalks have sprung up in Hall A of OCAT Shenzhen since August for the “Bamboo Path” exhibition. Writing his unique undecipherable calligraphy on each of the bamboo stalks, Wang Dongling, the creator, attempts to echo ancient Chinese nature where literati once shared poems, resulting in a fascinating contemporary twist on a classic form.
竹径的书法装置空间营造了一种独特的氛围，由国际著名舞蹈家梅卓燕与邢亮联袂推出的情境舞蹈作品《形·体》，将会用电影镜头的方式在不同的点位分别舞动、互相舞动，作为一种对话，以回应狂草书法的格局、线条和一种打破字形书体，直抒胸臆的情怀。在写满墨宝的竹林内外，即兴起舞的联动，或泼或洒、横竖起伏，从字形、笔墨、器具与人的层峦叠嶂里演绎生发，是醉是怒形形其上，混融出禅意与诗境，以致真情率性的表达。
