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.
Master the core of contemporary dance technique through absolute precision over physical energy and dynamics. By cultivating core stability and the strategic use of weight and gravity, this workshop deepens bodily awareness — awakening both explosive power and articulation in every muscle. Experience refined control, organic flow, and laser-focused energy as you push the boundaries of your movement.
