“Collision” symbolises the mutual influence and interweaving of cultures.

Click
“In the discourse between virtual and live, Click proposes another possibility for performance: the virtual plane appears in the live space and the screen becomes the dancer appearing ‘vividly’ in front of the audience, participating in the performance.” — Human Wu, dance journal/hk

In a room, a dancer and a computer. In a single click, to possess or lose that place. My skeleton and organs perhaps dance there, perhaps it is merely an accident. Delete, repeat, come back… No matter what choices are made, what disappears will inevitably be filled, or left as blank space.

In a fingertip lies the imagination and connection of movement, of body, of choreography, of performativity. When the breath and touch that performance emphasizes are no longer part of the everyday, Beyond the body itself, Click presents another possibility for performance through another “body” in constant dialogue with it.

The work premiered as a commissioned programme for the Leisure and Cultural Services Department.

Stay with the spin
Stay with the spin is a narrative performance created by Cheung Wai Yin during a residency at Komuna Warszawa Teatr in Poland, integrating Instagram as both a digital archive and performance language. Cheung’s twelve years of experience in pole dancing are carefully deconstructed across movement, teaching, training and community dimensions, using digital social records to document the transformation of his body and dance trajectories. The work focuses on the profound connections between the pole, the body, architecture and space, using personal experience to guide audiences in contemplating “how the body becomes space” and how dance constructs unique performance vocabularies and community connections. The upcoming presentation at #DANCELESS Complex 2026 in Hong Kong further extends this inquiry, inviting local audiences into Cheung’s evolving exploration of pole dance as both personal practice and cultural discourse.

SummerWorks Performance Festival
August 6-16, 2026
Tickets on Sale > July 13th!

This year’s Festival theme, Fight | Flight brings forward urgent creative responses to this troubling moment in time. Across the 2026 Festival, artists root themselves in place, community, ancestry, and practice, while also shifting perspectives, rewriting histories, and creating new narratives through the body, exploring memory, consent, transformation, and identity, through resistance, humour, and intimacy.
