“60 fragments of time” – an EXACTLY 10-minute site-specific dance piece with 18 performers to proceed from one end of a 60-meter long pedestrian walk to the other this Friday, June 16 @ 7:20pm sharp outside the entrance of the Academy for Performing Arts in Wanchai. This is the collaboration between dancers and archictects. Through this work, artist Catherine Yau wants to explore the idea of fragmentations of the “time” and “space” elements of a given site and within the rules of constraints on the dancers’ movements. Yau calls this “an enhanced version of post-modern dance,” i.e., dance not based on expressiveness or theatricality, but on embedded rules, delivering a computational quality. This piece is one of program of the Hong Kong Dance Festival (hkdf). For more details of the festival and performances of the same evening, visit: www.hkdanceall.org/hkdf/hkdf_main.html
