Object x Body x Game - A Workshop by Ong Yong Lock 物件 x 身体 x 游戏 - 王荣禄工作坊

Using objects to guide and inspire physical participation often leads to unexpected results. By extending our body’s sensitivity through objects, not only do we break the awkwardness and unfamiliarity of physical contact with others, but handling objects also brings a new kind of focus. The workshop uses games to energize our bodies and imagination, helping us build movement rules and concepts. In the final improvisation practice, you’ll get to experience self-directed movement.

通过使用物件来引导和激发身体的参与，常常能带来意想不到的结果。当我们借由物件来延伸身体的感知，不仅能打破与他人身体接触时的尴尬与陌生感，操作物件的过程也带来了一种全新的专注力。此工作坊将透过游戏激活身体与想象力，协助我们建立动作的规则与概念。在最后的即兴练习中，参与者将有机会体验自主引导的身体动作。

About Unlock Dancing Plaza 关于不加锁舞蛹馆

Unlock Dancing Plaza is one of the most forward-thinking and adventurous contemporary dance companies in Hong Kong. Founded in 2002 by Ong Yong Lock and Elsie Chau, the company is financially supported by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council since 2009. In 2022, Joseph Lee succeeded Ong as the Artistic Director and Ong became Creative Director (Public Engagement), focusing on outreach and community programmes. Determined to extend possibilities of dance making, Unlock aspires to develop a diverse performing arts ecology. Emancipate from institutionalized dance aesthetic, the company proposes to redefine dance as a natural form of self-expression, honouring individuality, and breaking from the production-focused par for the course. In recent years, Unlock makes new attempt to conduct various experimental projects to re-imagine dance.

Unlock embodies individuality in dance and promote the concept of “Danceless”, a new aesthetic notion to forsake dance techniques and empower everyone’s ability to dance. Unlock engages the community through workshops and showcases, effectively promotes mutual exchange between artists and the public by shared dance experiences.

Elaborating on the idea of Danceless, first #DANCELESS complex was launched in 2021.  It became a platform for choreographers from different cultural background to share ideas, to perform, and to experiment. 

Unlock makes new attempt to initiate “Unlock Body Lab” - a series of research on dance and performances. Its “dance-to-be” cross-media, cross-culture residency project encourages experimentation and emphasises the work-in-progress creative process, focusing on every stages of creation before the performance, whereas the format of concluding presentation is open to numerous possibilities.

Unlock is a three-time Hong Kong Dance Awards recipient and highly recognised by the dance industry. Its representative works include Jump to Mars, Dance with me, Boy Story. Reborn, Wanderer, serial dance-theatre Walls 44, Chopin VS Ca, and etc. Touring to dance festivals around the world for years, Unlock closely connects with people and place, making dialogues in dance.

不加锁舞踊馆为香港其中一个最具前瞻性及实验精神的当代舞团，由王荣禄及周金毅成立于2002年，自2009年起成为香港艺术发展局资助团体，首任艺术总监为王荣禄。2022年，李伟能接任艺术总监，王荣禄担任创意总监，主理外展及社区计划。舞团积极扩阔舞蹈表演的可能性，并尝试体现和实践于制作中，锐意发展多元的表演艺术生态。解放体制化的舞蹈美学，以个人为本，根据身体的独特性重新为舞蹈定义，走出制作主导的运作模式。近年来，舞团作多方面尝试，开拓舞蹈的多元想象。

舞团提出「#非关舞蹈」的概念，主张从身体独特性出发，摒除体制化的舞蹈技巧，相信每个人都可以跳舞。借一系列社区参与的创作、演出及工作坊，发展、推广及深化；促成艺术家与公众双向交流，共同体验舞蹈艺术。

从「#非关舞蹈」的概念延伸，于2021年策划首届的「#非关舞蹈祭」，集合来自不同文化语境中的编舞者对于舞蹈表演的思考与突破，让舞蹈节成为一个展演平台以外，知识及经验流动的交流空间以及编舞实验场。

舞团亦尝试扩展制作以外的项目，聚焦于过程的价值及潜能，发展出 Unlock Body Lab：策划跨媒介、跨交化的驻场项目，鼓励具开放性及实验性的探索，并鼓励创作者以各种形式作总结，以呈现作品的阶段成果。

舞团曾三度获香港舞蹈年奖，深得业界认可。代表剧场作品包括《跳着舞去火星》、《男生·男再生》、《游弋苍穹》、连续舞蹈剧场《墙四十四》、《肖邦 vs CA帮》等。多年来巡演于世界各地的舞蹈节，以舞蹈去打开对话，连结不同地区和社群。
