Jockey Club “In Search of Voice in a Cramped City”
Dance Education Programme
Commenced in July 2019, Jockey Club "In Search of Voice in a Cramped City" Dance Education Programme is a 3-year dance education project funded by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust. This Programme fuses contemporary dance with other art disciplines: drama, music, text-image and visual arts as media, to create a series of innovative programme activities for youths to explore communication.
The Programme is a continuation of two cross-media projects: In Search of Space in a Cramped City: A Moving Exhibition – Urban Bottling co-presented with The Office of the Arts Administrator, the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2015, and the General Education in Arts Programme for Tertiary Students co-presented with the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, In Search of Motion in a Virtual City. Both cross-media projects were awarded Outstanding Achievement in Youth and Community Dance in 2016 and Outstanding Dance Education in 2018 by Hong Kong Dance Alliance Dance Awards respectively.
Jockey Club "In Search of Voice in a Cramped City" Dance Education Programme was awarded the Hong Kong Dance Award in 2022 for Outstanding Dance Education or Community Dance.
