The Practice Room
- A Series of Workshops for the Dance Community from School of Dance
The Practice Room is a new initiative from the School of Dance, bringing practice-based workshops led by our Artist in Residence and full-time faculty to the dance community. These workshops are open to dance professionals, teachers, choreographers, alumni and the greater Hong Kong dance community.
This practical workshop investigates how movement, intention and physical relationships can create atmosphere, evoke emotion and communicate stories to an audience. Participants will explore techniques to harness the narrative potential of the body, discovering how even the smallest physical choices can shape an audience’s experience.
