School of Dance Fall Performances at the Academy Lyric Theatre marks a new beginning of this season’s productions. With renewed vigour and three new works to be performed by 65 talented young dance students from ballet, contemporary dance and Chinese dance specialisations, it will be an evening of novelty with breathtaking live performance.
The contemporary ballet choreographed by our alumna and former Hong Kong Ballet dancer Eve Chan, Shade, and Shadows exhibits the beauty, power, and freedom of classical movements. I Will Jump Over the Fire is a dance piece by Spanish contemporary dance choreographer Jorge Jauregui Allue, which explores the idea of plants and nature as a metaphor for connecting with other peo-ple, expressing emotions, and uniting beauty and strength. Lastly, My Dance, Meshrep, co-choreographed by Pasha Umer Hood and Wu Kam-ming, is an Uy-ghur dance piece, representing a cultural journey of Xinjiang traditional music and dance, with dis-tinctive ethnic characteristics.
