Welcome back to the Break a SWEAT series! Here, I will be running by you all the highlights, main participants and noteworthy programmes to check out from the SWEAT Hong Kong International Dance Festival 2022. For our fifth episode, we take a look at the the Spotlight Screenings.
Launched in 1986, IFDA offers crucial global cultural exchange platform for dance academies to stay connected and spearhead the collective development of dance education through performances, workshops and more. This year, the festival reconnects with 15 dance academies and partners from over 10 cities and areas in Asia and Europe to present screenings of original dance films, electrifying stage performances and innovative digital projects performed and created by some of the best dance students in the world.
Today, let's look at Holly Blakey's Phantom', a 13 minute dance film about her experiences with miscarriage that was performed by the EDGE Dance Company of the London Contemporary Dance School. How can we transcend through the means of arts? Is that even a risk worth taking? Join us as we take a look at how trauma is expressed with the help of movement, sound and colors π
