The Creation of Under ∞ Line

Choreographer and Performer
Wong Pik Kei Rebecca

Does creation end with the completion of the work, or rather does it start when the performer steps on the stage?

This video will bring you to the creative process of choreographer Wong Pik Kei Rebecca. From idea formation, thematic research, to the interaction with the creative and production team, this video will give you a sneak peak of Under∞Line, a new creation of Wong commissioned by Tai Kwun.

Wong’s recent creation focus on the struggle and relationship between desire and the society, culture and power. Her first collaboration with Tai Kwun was in 2018 with the creation of Bird-Watching. They continue their collaboration this year as Wong develops Under∞Line.

Video would be available here from 20 Sep, for free. Stay tuned and don’t miss it.

Wong Pik Kei Rebecca
Choreographer and Performer

Dance artist Wong Pik Kei Rebecca graduated from the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts. Questioning stereotypes from a female perspective, her works evoke a revaluation of attitudes by and towards the body, desires, and sex. Wong studied Butoh in Japan in 2015, and participated in the theatre production White Room by Butoh master Yukio Waguri in 2016. She was awarded a scholarship in 2017 from the Hong Kong Arts Development Council to join the Atlas choreography workshops at the ImPulsTanz Vienna International Dance Festival. In 2018, Wong participated in Creative Meeting Point: Hong Kong x Barcelona, a residency exchange program over a period of three years with the support of West Kowloon Cultural District. Her major works include When Time Limps, Woman.Body, 19841012, Nook, and Bird-Watching (part of the production The Message Behind the Wall by 198491 commissioned by Tai Kwun) which have been performed in Iceland, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, the Mainland, and Australia. The Message Behind the Wall by 198491 from the 2019 Tai Kwun Dance Season won the Outstanding Small Venue Production in the 2019 21st Hong Kong Dance Awards.
