2022 Performance
Organised by Asia Society Hong Kong Center with the support of Art Central, performance art returned to Art Central in 2022 with debut works by Hong Kong independent artist and creative producer Kiwi Chan, and Hong Kong-based choreographer and performer Joseph Lee.

Joseph Lee
Trajectory of Jumps
Joseph’s performance, by incorporating elements of texts and speech, is inspired by the idea of staying resilient and recovering. His piece focuses on the transition from expressive motions into contemplative perspectives. Here, he interprets that by morphing his body into forms of ‘moving sculptures’, where viewers can enjoy his constant, intense, and fluid transformations throughout.

Kiwi Chan
Love Elasticity of Demand
Kiwi’s performance is based on the nature of a mother-daughter relationship, echoing on the idea of recovering and being resilient. Including textual and sound elements, the performance is an intimate piece as it will narrate on her experience of witnessing her mother’s hurdles when undergoing her cancer treatments and how Kiwi herself responded by gradually detaching herself from the family.
About the Artists
Kiwi Chan, an independent performing artist whom creations focus on Butoh, experimental theatre, and site-specific dance. She enjoys the dilemma of body, Butoh and Contact Improvisation have been her biggest inspiration since 2012. She devotes herself to contemporary theatre, as she believes that performing art is the best field for sharing the presence.
Joseph Lee, the artistic director of Unlocking Dancing Plaza since 2020, has curated a series of contemporary dance programs and platforms to foster artistic discourse in the performing arts field locally and internationally. He is interested in the comprehension, transposition and reenactment of bodily experience, to reflect and question the performative nature rooted in daily life of contemporary society.
