Dance

As street dance steps into the theatre, contemporary dance embraces the battle culture.
Contemporary dancer Kenny Leung met street dancer Yip Chan while working on a performance in Australia in 2017. Despite their diverse training backgrounds, they bonded through the passion for dance. From the battle culture of street dance, they explored a 1-on-1 relationship and reflect on the ways of creating, values and body language in contemporary dance and street dance. The Battle Zone is an attempt to dance out of their comfort zones in search for a shared artistic language. The two choreographers collaborated with Belgium sound artist Peter Lenaerts to create a dialogue of sound, music and dance.
