This autumn, Freespace presents a three-month encounter of dance and movement that features innovative performances by regional artists. The online events include With/out Umeda, a digital showcase of works by Japanese choreographer and multidisciplinary artist Hiroaki Umeda devised in response to the new (and current) reality of travel restrictions and social distancing; and Hong Kong Dance Company’s new performance Convergence that – along with a live and immersive VR video experience – offers new perspectives on movement through the lens of Chinese dance and martial arts. While The Battle is a live performance featuring cross-genre blend of dance off and theatrical performance. The programme also includes a range of master classes, movement and graffiti workshops, a mural project and other activities.
