Description

This August, Freespace presents a new works-in-development showcase featuring the creative results of this year’s Choreographer and Composer Lab – a collaborative research and experimentation platform that brings artists together to explore new approaches to composition in music and dance.

The artists taking part in this creative exchange come from a diverse range of backgrounds. The two collaborating pairs are choreographer Tsang Wing-fai, a member of female street dance group Fe-style Ranger with diverse training backgrounds in dance, and musician and composer Step Ip, percussionist with the experimental instrumental band Virgin Vacation; and hip-hop choreographer SuenNam, a theatre performer and member of the street dance group FlowRulerz, and jazz musician and composer Bowen Li.

The showcase includes appearances from guest musicians specialising in hip-hop, rap, jazz, indie and experimental sounds, including percussionists Jason Wong and Travis Leung, and rapper Gold Mountain.

First held in 2016, Choreographer and Composer Lab has inspired a number of successful creative collaborations. This year marks the fifth edition of the programme.
