2019 表演事

今年的個人作品《膠。圈》,有我最大特破的四圈 Multi-Hooping,影像概念從大自然的神聖幾何,印第安人的圈舞到自身的膠圈,由VJ Fumi 現場呈現出來。

和進念.二十面合作的新劇目《STEAM 之四大發明》作編舞及演出,將四大發明的概念演譯成形體舞蹈,讓觀衆從劇場體驗學習創科教育。

還有在商場、酒店、晚宴和私人派對的大小場合表演,能夠把漂亮的 Hoop Dance 展示給不同的觀眾也非常有意思。

2019 Performance Things

My personal project《Plastic . Circle》with my greatest achievement…4 hoops multi-hooping!!! The visual idea are connected to sacred geometry, mandalas and the patterns of native American hoop dance and all leads to my little plastic circles. Thank you VJ Fumi brought it to live on stage.

Choreographing and performing in a new theatre piece《STEAM – The Four Great Inventions》presented by Zuni Icosahedron. Where I bring the concept of historic China’s inventions into movement and dance. Giving a theatre journey of arts and innovation education to audiences.

Performances in malls, hotels, banquets and private parties gave me the opportunities introducing the beautiful hoop dance to different audiences and it’s meaningful to my hoop life.

2019 圈圈事

今年最令我興奮一定是回德國栢林的母校授課,記得當老師説我的技巧和知識已夠水準在我學習 Hoop Dance 的馬戲學校教當老師,當刻感動得差點流淚。雖然留在栢林的一個月只能教授數堂,但這一定是我人生的里程碑。

傳播 Hoop Dance 的快樂是 Hooper 的天職,今年在同讀文化節為靜態的文化展覽注入活力,以及在北區小哲社區遊戲日同粉嶺街坊一齊玩。

2019 Hoopie Things

A great milestone that I returned to Berlin and taught in my alma mater. I was almost shedded tear of joy when my teacher said my skills are good enough to teach in the circus school. Although I can only teach few classes in my short trip, but absolutely one of my lifetime award.

Spreading the hoop spirit is hooper’s duty. The workshops in Queer Literary and Cultural Festival and Fanling Cheung Wah Youth S.P.O.T are totally different spectrum of crowed to fill up the hoop energies.

為嶺南大學幼兒教育部設計了一個教師課堂,透過遊戲和音樂讓小朋友學習身體和情感,超級熱鬧的近百人課堂,實習老師和小朋友齊齊寓學於樂。

在兆基創意書院當客席講師,難得可以深入談到呼拉圈與 Hoop Dance 的來龍去脈,火舞和 Flow Arts 的關連,為學生的腦袋增添迥然不同創意藝術和世界新視野。

2019 Education Things

In the lecture of Lee Shau Kee School of Creativity having a in-depth talk about the history and development of Hula Hoop, Hoop Dance and the connection to fire dance and flow arts. A cool opportunity bringing a new spectrum of arts to students.

2019 手作事

由初初學造呼拉圈,到圓型三角形的呼拉圈,今年再下一成為演出造了絲帶呼拉圈和三層的陀螺儀呼拉圈,fing 出不同的視覺效果。

看過包浩斯的 Stick Dance 後一直都想試一試。在《STEAM 之四大發明》中,多謝David 把我簡化版的設計實現出來。棍子跟隨身體移動,將一舉一動變成放大線條。

2019 Handmade Things

From learning how to making a hoop, to making triangle and square shaped hoop. This year the brand new design silk hoop and the 3 layers gyro hoop and I worked on completely breaking the visual of hoops.

I am always amazed by the Bauhaus stick dance. The stick becoming part of the body and any tiny movement become amplified array of lines. Thank you David from Zuni helping me to reappear my simplified design in《STEAM – The Four Great Inventions》.

Grace Hoop 2018 表演事

今年的演出是非常有代表性的一年,我的個人作品《Circular Linearity》除了在香港的《大埔青年藝術節》演出外,還把它帶到《克羅地亞呼拉圈節》,可以將具有香港本土特色的影象結合呼拉圈舞蹈展示給生活環境截然不同的地球人。

和中馬芳子合作的《Secret Journey – 天堂異客》在德國栢林 Dock 11 演出,將 Hoop Dance 和歷史影像,形體藝術,電影情節混合,對於當代劇場也是一個新奇的實驗。

第二年和進念二十面體合作的《魔笛遊樂場》,加入了國立臺灣戲曲學院的學生一起交流演出,除了呼拉圈編舞,學習配合不同的形體和雜耍道具也是一個新挑戰。

Grace Hoop 2018 Performance

What a significant great year! My personal project《Circular Linearity》premiere in《Tai Po Youth Art Festival》and also brought to《Croatian Hoop Convention》! The image of my hometown “Hong Kong” melting with hoop manipulation was exposed to other side of the planet! Yay!

The production in Dock 11 Berlin with Yoshiko Chuma 《Secret Journey – Stranger than Paradise》was mixing hoop dance with horizontal images, contemporary movements, cinematic moments is not just new to me but also a new experiment in theatre experience.

In 2nd edition of《Bauhaus Magic Flute Playground》with Zuni Icosahedron. This year adding acrobatics and juggling elements from the students of <National Taiwan College of Performing Arts>. Apart from hoop choreography, learning to crop with different movement and props manipulation is also a new challenge.

Grace Hoop 2018 圈圈事

除了在香港的恆常課程,今年還在《克羅地亞呼拉圈節》以及《德國漢堡雜耍節》教授呼拉圈工作坊。一向熱愛教授 Hoop Dance 的我,可以說是夢想成真,過去幾年在呼拉圈社羣學習了許多東西,現在已經進步不小的我能夠回饋社羣,真的開心得不能言喻。

Grace Hoop Hoopie Things 2018

Apart from the weekly class in Hong Kong, my super honour to teach in 《Croatian Hoop Convention》 and 《Hamburg Juggling Convention》. There were uncountable things I learnt from the hoop community during the past. And now with my improved hooping skills, I can contribute to the community. Super happy to hear people love my class, dream come true!

This year I started my 2nd fire hoop. My fire hoop skill is definitely advanced after the purification from two fire spaces from 《Fire Phoenix Convention》and 《Hamburg Juggling Convention》in Germany. Next year more fire!!!

2018 小孩事

《瞬間遊樂場》第一次全程策劃的活動,以呼拉圈和 Bauhaus 設計為構思出發點,申延到公共空間的變化可能。運用顔色,形狀以及我們的身體去改變一個場域的預設功能。

而《大埔年藝術節》呼拉圈舞蹈工作坊以及進念‧二十面體《魔笛遊樂場》編舞及演出,大小朋友當然一齊郁身郁勢,發掘潛能,開心學習。

Grace Hoop Kiddy Things 2018

《Momentary Playground》is my first time curate the whole program, using hoops and Bauhaus design to alert the use of public space. With colours, shapes and our body to changing the default use of the environment.
Hoops always brining joy no matter you are kids or adult. In《Bauhaus Magic Flute Playground》and 《Tai Po Youth Arts Festival》, we all play, dance, laugh and learn together.

Secret Journey, Stranger Than Paradise – Yoshiko Chuma, Eden Rehearsals

中馬芳子《Secret Journey – 天堂異客》德國栢林綵排

機緣巧合下,今個夏天和中馬芳子合作在德國栢林演出。綵排在 Pankow 的 Eden Studio。穿梭栢林多年踏足 Pankow 的機會不多,對於栢林市中心愈來愈擠迫,相比起來Pankow 給我舒服安靜的感覺。Eden 的排練室、咖啡室、花園和整個佈局都看得出 Dock 11 的人花了很多心機和時間,每個角落也擁有令放鬆的自然美。

對於當代舞認知甚微的我,整個綵排過程是一個全新的獨特體驗。學企,學行,學坐,學講話,所有日常基本都要重新整理,重新研究和認識自己的身體。雖然每日都累到不行,不過我很喜歡能夠放下呼拉圈,和當代舞者,演員種其他movement的人一起探索和練習。

This summer, I have had the opportunity to perform in Yoshiko’s production 《Secret Journey, Stranger Than Paradise》. The whole rehearsal process opens a brand new world to me. With zero knowledge in contemporary dance, everyday I have to learn how to stand, walk, sit, talk….etc. I have to reorganise my body and mind, and inject the new information to the within. I am very glad I can put down my hoop, research movement and mind with other dancers and actors.

Dock 11 Eden studio is truly a paradise. The rehearsal space, the cafe, the garden, every corners show their heart and time. It delighted my heart very single day.

A snapshot of my life in Berlin

栢林剪影

這是我在栢林的生活剪影,在柏林學習期間我的呼拉圈技術還是很粗糙。多年來我被柏林深深地迷住,那𥚃讓我打開心扉和開拓更大的天地,回到平衡的地方,感受生活每個小節,檢視思考,重新學習。

A snapshot of my life in Berlin. My hooping skill was very rough at that time (now still). The beautiful Berlin opened my heart and space. The infinity circle leads me to an amazing journey. Being centered, enjoy the moment, and meditate….
