“What does dancing mean to you?” There are tens of thousands of answers to this question.
Dancing can be a kind of hobbies and a form of aesthetic art. It can also be a means of “telling stories through body language”. Dancing is a body culture and one of the first appeared artistic expressions. However, what is the connotation of dancing beyond the spotlight for a dancer? Is it a flow of power, a balance of the mind and body, or the creative thinking and philosophy of a dancer?
The eight-episode “Beyond Dancing” provides a series of thematic short videos about Hong Kong dancers, which integrate images, dance and music, so that audience can see how dancers pursue their perfect silhouettes on stage, and have a glimpse of how dancing and life intertwine and interact on each other.
“Dancing” can be a word and it can also be the colourful world of a dancer.
Participating Organisations:
City Contemporary Dance Company

Being an introvert, HO Gi-lam believes that dancing is not equivalent to performance. Having learnt Chinese dance for 20 years, she said she had danced for herself, and she came to know and expressed herself through dancing, exploring the possibilities of her body.
Gi-lam has developed a liking for Chinese dance since she participated in the extra-curricular activities by chance as a kid. She has laid a solid foundation for the dance from childhood, but she reminisced, “In the past, there were some dancing movements that looked good in my view, but now I think they are no good at all!”, because she did not know how to instill charm and soul into the dance at that time. After studying at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts with Chinese dance as her major, she realised that dancing was not just about making posture. What needs to be studied painstakingly is the transition between movements and their subtleties.
Admitting herself as being shy, Gi-lam would often hide in a group of dancers, trying to avoid becoming the centre of attention. A veteran once said that she often stood at the back to hide herself, but in fact, a dancer should be seen by others. With the accumulation of performance experience, she also tries to open up and submerge herself in every role.

SANG Jijia was once asked by a foreign journalist what would first come to his mind when he recalled his childhood. SANG said that it was him running on the grassland of his home in Gansu with a bare bottom! This little boy could never imagine that he would become one of the most renowned Chinese dance artist on today’s international stage.
Although selected to study folk dance in Beijing at a young age, it was not until SANG did modern dance that he found his passion and chose his path for the first time by taking dancing as his lifelong career.
SANG came to Hong Kong from the Mainland, then he travelled around the world. He has experienced the differences and impacts arising from the Eastern and Western cultures in terms of dancing. After achieving mastery through his body, he continues to develop his dancing career in Hong Kong, a land that he is familiar with.
