East Kowloon Cultural Centre | CCDF 2026 : 'HOTPOT East Asia Dance Platform' China II

Description

1 cm Off Ground

One centimeter off the ground, there is nothing.

The landscape rushes past, while its scent lingers behind.

One centimeter off the ground is like a breath left unfinished. It continues with its own rhythm, rising and swelling like a body touching the ground and rebounding. Seen from a distance, there is nature and layer upon layer of shifting green - neither taking flight nor fully touching down. However vast or disorienting the view may be, everything eventually returns to the ground beneath our feet.

Filter    

In Filter, the body becomes a path of retrospection and inquiry. The work draws sensation from discontinued cultural memories—specifically Uyghur heritage in Xinjiang—and bodily languages of childhood, weaving them into a physical narrative through slow, stripped-down movement. This approach reveals a presence both vulnerable and resilient, suspended between exposure and concealment. Within this tension, the piece creates pauses and silence, allowing ambiguous yet potent traces of identity to emerge and settle.
