Come and join us for a silent party!
Let’s get loose and cast reason, excessive speculation, and hollow meanings aside!
Come and feel the booze, relax, let go and drink till you drop!
Drink and Dance literally means to drink and to dance – imagine yourself at a party, immersed in the throbbing and excessively loud music – what is left on your mind? Perhaps it is simply a blank state, what is left is the pure joy of overindulgence.
If you’re on fire, fall.
If you’re confused, go straight.
If you drink, dance.

Su Wei Chia started his 10-year choreographic project FreeSteps since 2013, exploring the relationship between contours, movements, images, rhythm, music, and light, in pursuit of extremes and meticulousness of bodily expression. In recent years, Su and dancers learn from each other through collaboration and together, exercises and methodologies are devised and categorized into a series of workshops, including “Creation of Shapes”, “Following and Making Ways”, “Exploration of Coordination”, “Awareness, Experience, Database”, “Choices of the Body”. This workshop employs some of the methodologies into education, leading the participants to explore their body movements, and dance freely to search for and to create endless possibilities of the body.

FreeSteps – NiNi outdoor screening
| Date | Location | Time |
| 16–17.10.2021 | Laundry Steps | 2:00pm - 2:45pm |
FreeSteps – NiNi marks the beginning of the sixth year of Su Wei Chia’s decade-long choreography project. By stepping out of the theatre and walking into the hustle and bustle of the outside world, it means that you will have a chance on meeting a dancer under the streetlight at a corner of the city – where the temperature, lighting, landscape and passersby… are all materials for the dancers to work with. Whether it is dancing by spreading or curling up the body, or with radiating elation or with throbbing pain – the texture of the body becomes phantasmagorical, the dance steps and lines eddy and flow, the shadows cast on the body as the light moves and shimmers – all together carry through a body sculpture that is working in progress.
FreeSteps – NiNi is in the pursuit of the purest essence, for it will bring about the most enlivening sense of freedom. Irrespective of its purpose, concept, allegory; without expectations for any exceedingly meticulous arrangements; and to cast aside any deeply ingrained imaginations, expectations and presuppositions – this is an enthralling battle between the dance steps and the body. Please bring along the courage of letting your imagination run free.
The programme will be screened at the semi-outdoor Laundry Steps; you may, in the flash of the moment, run into the purest form of sensation that moves your heart, one which only you can feel.
“Tai Kwun Treats” are now available for the participants of this programme! Get the vouchers and enjoy various privileged offers at designated shops and restaurants.
