4th HKICF 2019

HKICF - Hong Kong International Choreography Festival
We share memories and extracts from the 4th HKICF 2019.
The HKICF is a festival where we invite dance companies and choreographers to present their productions as well as we guide new dance artists and choreographers to research and develop new dance productions created collectively by the resident artists during the HKICAROS residency.
We focus on three strands:
1) Dance Companies
2) Choreographers & Teachers
3) Resident Artists
The HKICF takes place after four-week long collective artists in residency HKICAROS. Artists from across the world are meeting and collectively research and develop to create and present new productions. The artists can work on their own solo work or collaborate with other resident artists or local Hong Kong dance artists, as well as they can be part in the projects of other artists. It is a collective artists in residency where creativity in dance and choreography flourishes.
Our mission is to create and offer to the public and all artists a dance and choreography festival for cultural exchange, cutting edge innovation and creativity, risk taking, sustainability and most importantly personal growth.
Our vision is to heighten and foster the ultimate understanding that we are all here in this world to connect and communicate for learning and growing.
HKICF is leading the way for challenging and questioning the dance and choreography practice nowadays, and how this can have a positive impact in the world.
