Movement Roots:
From Reflexes to Improvisation
04.12 / THURSDAY
7:30PM – 10:00PM
Discover the foundations of your body’s developmental movement intelligence in this experiential workshop that bridges Body-Mind Centering®️ (BMC) principles with improvisational dance. We will journey through the developmental roots of movement, exploring reflexes, core support, rolling, crawling, and early weight-shifting patterns as a living guide for creative expression. Using embodied anatomy and developmental movement patterns, participants will cultivate sensitivity to skeletal alignment, fluid dynamics, and internal impulses, learning to let these innate patterns inspire spontaneous, personal movement. Through individual and partner exercises, guided improvisation, and playful experimentation, this workshop invites you to connect deeply with your body’s history, its intelligence, and its expressive potential. Whether you are new to BMC®️ or an experienced mover, you will leave with a heightened sense of embodied awareness, fresh movement possibilities, and tools to integrate developmental and somatic insights into your improvisation practice.

Viewpoints & Composition

14.12, SUNDAY
10:00AM – 1:00PM
The Viewpoints is an approach to movement improvisation which grew out of the post‐modern dance world, first articulated by choreographer Mary Overlie, and further expanded by theatre director Anne Bogart in the 90s. Using the principles of Viewpoints, we hone the act of “noticing”, and practice embracing accidents in creations. This workshop is for anyone interested in sharpening awareness, and fascinated with adopting elements of chance as their artistic practice. No prior experience is required, bring along an open heart.

In the Essence
14.12, SUNDAY
1:30PM – 4:00PM
This workshop is created for young, experienced movement practitioners and movement enthusiasts who are eager to push their performance further. It invites participants who want to deepen their artistry, sharpen their presence, and connect more fully with their own expression. At the heart of Essence Theatre is the idea that every performer carries a unique essence, and that true expression begins with becoming aware of it. From this foundation, movement gains depth, authenticity, and resonance. The practice is grounded in the C.R.A.M/P3 framework, which provides the structure for exploring performance from two inseparable sides—the conceptual “why” and the practical “how.” In The Essence brings these dimensions together, showing how ideas and techniques inform one another in performance. Participants will gain tools to enrich their practice, expand their creative vocabulary, and experience movement as a holistic dialogue between body, mind, and spirit.

Dance as a Medium for Social Commentary
17.12, WEDNESDAY
7:30PM – 10:00PM
Becoming is the possibility of transformation — of changing into something new, of bringing what once existed elsewhere into the present moment. This workshop engages creative methods for turning imagined images and emotions into experiences we can sense and understand through the body. Building from this embodied awareness, we will examine how dance can serve as a form of dissent and a catalyst for social change. Participants will explore ways to create choreographic works that courageously engage with complex and challenging themes such as trauma, addiction, conflict, consciousness, and mortality.

There’s a Little Boy inside My Body
21.12, SUNDAY
11:45AM - 1:15PM
This workshop is developed from my recent creation , a dance work around improvisation. In my free time, I often perform drumming on the streets. One day, during a performance, a little boy suddenly started dancing to my music. All the adults were standing quietly around, watching. I felt as if that little boy had “run away” from their bodies, dancing on behalf of the adults who were present. That moment made me curious about the physical and mental state of children, their purity, and the joy they express when they discover control over a certain part of their body. These curiosities led me to reflect on my own mental and physical state during improvisational dance. I imagine the process of a baby learning to stand from crawling as something filled with joy, because of the change in perspective, the shift of balance, and the experience of sensations the body has never felt before. It is precisely these new sensations that allow the body to fall and rise again and again, until it stands. In this workshop, I will begin from this work, sharing the improvisational methods and bodily perspectives that have emerged from it. Finally, we will complete a short structured improvisation together. This class will be conducted mainly in Chinese. A mix of English and Chinese will be used.

Improvisation & Choreography

Building on these explorations, the class will progress into learning choreography, where dancers apply their improvisational discoveries to structured sequences. This helps strengthen musicality, spatial awareness, and personal expression.

Floor Work
09.12, TUESDAY
8:00PM - 9:30PM
Floor work is a technique that emphasises movement on the ground. Widely used in contemporary dance, it helps develop awareness of space, one’s center, and points of support. In this class, you will have the opportunity to become familiar with the approach to working on the floor and/or to deepen your practice! Through somatic exercises, playful activities, and dance explorations, we will delve into the notions of momentum, fluidity, and changes in level. By the end of the session, you will be able to perform more complex and sensitive choreographic phrases, where you can roll, slide, pivot, and use the floor as a true dance partner. You may be surprised by your ability to manage your balance, strength, and the weight of your own body, thanks to a teaching method rooted in gentleness and connection—to yourself, to the floor, and to others.

Contemporary Jazz
10.12, WEDNESDAY
8:00PM - 9:30PM
This workshop presents an exciting blend of jazz and contemporary techniques, featuring lively and engaging choreography that incorporates elements from both styles. Since I don't teach in any studios, this is a wonderful opportunity for me to reconnect with the dance community. Contemporary is incredibly interpretive, and each instructor brings their own unique flavour to it. Mine focuses on technique and uses the dynamic of jazz dance to fuse with the fluidity of contemporary dance to fully maximise the range of dance qualities. It will be a fun but challenging class that stretches your dance ability.

Breaking the Square – Classical Technique Reimagined
12.12, FRIDAY
8:00PM - 9:30PM
This class takes classical technique as its foundation and invites dancers to reimagine its structure — to break the square. Through a blend of classical, neoclassical, and contemporary approaches, we will explore new ways of elongating lines, introducing spiral and twist into the upper body, and releasing energy outward rather than holding it within. The aim is to deepen technical awareness while freeing the body from rigid formality, finding greater fluidity, breath, and individuality within classical vocabulary. You will learn a contemporary ballet phrase at the end of the class. This class is suitable for dancers with a ballet background who are curious to expand their movement range and creative expression.
