In preparation for the opening of Freespace, one of the performing arts facilities of the West Kowloon Cultural District, we have initiated the New Works Forum, a platform for Hong Kong artists working across different fields who are interested in expanding their practice into new areas, to explore innovative ways of creating and performing, thinking and discussing topics around contemporary performances.
The upcoming New Works Forum: Challenging Perspectives on Physicalities and Bodies will explore ways of producing inclusive performances for artists with diverse backgrounds and physical abilities at different venues. Speakers from overseas will share their creative processes with reference to their respective productions Sloap and Perfect (im)Perfections.
