★★★★★ Review: Lived Fiction by Stopgap Dance Company

More than just a showcase of accessibility, Stopgap Dance Company elevates inclusivity to an artform of the future. For years, accessibility in the performing arts has too often carried an unfortunate association with charity—where the presence of disabled artists on stage is seen as a benevolent gesture rather than a celebration of creative excellence, where artists and companies are assumed to be platforming disabled artists … Continue reading ★★★★★ Review: Lived Fiction by Stopgap Dance Company

★★★☆☆ Review: Statement Piece by Checkpoint Theatre

A statement on the universal idea of ambition and the lengths we’re willing to go to achieve it, but plot holes and lack of character depth leave us wanting. To become lost to history is to have lived a life insignificant, leading to so many people’s desperate climb up the ladder to ‘success’. But what happens when a member of the art world, in hot … Continue reading ★★★☆☆ Review: Statement Piece by Checkpoint Theatre

★★★★☆ Review: re:intertwining by T.H.E Dance Company

Choreography pushing the human body to its limits, in a work that once again emphasises T.H.E’s ethos of human connection through dance and movement. If it is one thing the world seems to need more than ever, it’s to recognise the need for coexistence over conflict. That feels like the central theme of re:intertwining, the newest work by T.H.E Dance Company that pushes its dancers … Continue reading ★★★★☆ Review: re:intertwining by T.H.E Dance Company

★★★★☆ Review: A Doll’s House, Part 2 by Pangdemonium!

The past comes knocking, as Pangdemonium tackles the resounding fallout from the dramatic decision made by one of Ibsen’s most iconic heroines.

★★★★★ Review: ALICE (in wonderland) by Hong Kong Ballet

Bursting with life, this wildly imaginative adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s classic that both entertains and awes. As a classical style, ballet is an art form that is often thought of as prim and proper, where everything has been coordinated and choreographed to perfection. That stereotype seems to be at direct odds with Lewis Carroll’s novel Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland, which instead embraces non-linearity, surrealism and … Continue reading ★★★★★ Review: ALICE (in wonderland) by Hong Kong Ballet
