The cinematic re-imagining of Akeim Toussaint Buck’s one-man dance theatre piece, Windows of Displacement. This energetic dance-cinema adaptation translates the acclaimed stage piece into a new medium. Featuring kinetic dance and a myriad of location switches, Displaced pushes the boundaries of dance storytelling. This memorable piece uses explosive dance and deep poetic text to tell an untold story from a place of humanity and love, transcending despair and turmoil. A journey of reflection, calling for global change. Created and co-directed by Ashley Karrell, Displaced explores contemporary challenges such as culture, place, race and imperialism.‘A compelling example of how to reimagine theatre and dance in a digital medium to reach a greater audience… Toussaint Buck proposes radical joy and collective action in the face of these forces. This joy reveals itself in quicker, polyrhythmic movements and the communal triumph of the others singing and dancing with him’ (Theatrereview.org.nz)‘This is a beautiful and powerful show… A powerful and positive film which gives a fresh perspective on the depressing mantra that immigrants automatically equal bad’ (LouReviews.blog)Displaced is a deceptively simple piece, mixing the personal with the public to tell a universal story through dance, poetry and film.

An intriguing, soul-searching masterclass into the personas of jesters, jokers, and clowns, through the lens of the theatrical mask. From Greek trickster gods to Japanese Noh Theatre, commedia dell’arte and opera to slapstick and cartoons, join Professor Rosemary George on a rollercoaster through the joys and sorrows, comedies and tragedies of life, which probes hidden identities in human behaviour.‘The professor’s range and extent of research is clearly apparent’ (EdinburghGuide.com).‘A densely packed piece of work which successfully steers a course between the jagged rocks of academic dryness and the coral reefs of mundanity' (EdinburghGuide.com).‘Brilliantly and eloquently written… Thoughtful… Extraordinarily well-researched’ (Audience Review, Edinburgh Fringe).‘Quite unique… Informative and fun’ (Audience Review, Edinburgh Fringe).‘A truly thoughtful, educational and enjoyable presentation of the deep symbolism in the masks that we as human beings are required to wear. Loved it’ (Crowd Pleasers Audience Review, Melbourne Fringe).'Lively… wide-ranging… George’s extensive research is apparent in the breadth of examples provided… Those with an interest in the history of opera and theatre will enjoy George’s lecture, particularly the innovative linkages she makes between mediums… Charming delivery… Excellent' (TheatreReview.org.nz).This is a masterclass in how we become what we are not, from the 'tears of a clown to the masks of traditional Japanese Noh. It considers the jester as the communicator of the soul... It both touches on many different forms and places where the mask appears.' (Lou Reviews)www.rosemarygeorge.com Watch Trailer

This dance-on-film follows the epic journey of Odyssea, a curious sea traveller, as she encounters flora and fauna in fantastical realms. New York-based Quicksilver Dance perform with only their hands, painted to become vibrant characters. Across biomorphic landscapes of sculptures and fabric and set to original music, Odyssea offers a feminist take on the concept of an odyssey: she makes her way by helping fellow travellers, building relationships and trading, rather than through the mythologically typical (male) approaches of strength, trickery or intrigue. This playful and poignant tale of encountering difference promises to make the familiar feel excitingly unfamiliar again.‘Odyssea is clever, vibrant, and poignant storytelling captured at its very best’ (LouReviews.blog)‘Fabric makes a landscape, a seascape, to host boats made from driftwood and other coastal pieces. It all appears so simple but it's obvious deep thought has gone into every choice. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts’ (WellingtonReviews.co.nz)Created, Choreographed and Performed by | Mariah SteeleVideography and Editing by | Hans RinderknechtOriginal Musical Score by | Yoshiko Arahata3-D Mixed Media Artwork by | Raphaela McCormackAdditional Performances by | Lia Nelson and Anna Remuswww.quicksilverdance.comfacebook.com/QuicksilverDanceCompany Watch Trailer

On a roof webbed with fish-bone antenna, a child with a superhero blanket cape was brought to the realm of Wuxia by a leaf. He took in all the tangling of impermanence with resentment, lust with karma, in the martial world. Now he is back, but thousands of years have passed. Experience the spirit of Wuxia: not a fairytale for grownups, but a medium to evoke thinking between the personal and the social. Inspired by the writings of Li Shoumin, who captivated millions who found themselves in troubled times. Theatre Ronin recreates folklore and contemporary emotional landscape.‘A beautifully shot series of loosely connected dramatic scenes with smooth, elegant and intense choreography… Its aesthetics are spot on; everything is beautifully surrealist and absurd… Offers the unique aesthetic and thematic richness of Wuxia films and pays homage to ancient Chinese philosophy and traditioTheatre Ronin have mastered the perfect antidote to TikTok addiction’ **** (BroadwayBaby.com)‘Beautifully filmed… a strong piece… and has the feel of an epic martial arts !lm in its construction… The movement is fluid, fowing, and fierce’ (LouReviews.blog)‘Alex Tam Hung Man’s writing and directing tells this tale of woe and heartache as though he was guided through by superhuman hands… The set was fluttering with riches… The story plumed forth with pace, gusto, benevolence and brilliance… Time was set aside for every feeling and thought and there was nothing that was missed or overlooked’ (MumbleTheatre.net)Written, Directed and Designed by | Alex Tam Hung ManCast | Cheung Lee Hung Holmes, Leung Ho Pong, Chan Ting Hin Henry, Chiu Lo Yin, Karen Chan, Musette TsangVoiceover Readings and English Translation by | Cheryl YungLighting Design by | Zoe CheungMusic and Sound Design by | Maj ChanCostume Design by | Cindy HoVideo Recording by | Chan Tze WoonEdited by | Kwok Chun YuiCinematography by | Mike Mak, Law Hoi Ki Ivan, Chan Tze Woon, Kwok Chun YuiCamera Assistant | Suen Ming King, Tsang Kin WongProducer | Lam Pik Chi JessieProduction Manager | Carvid Ngaiwww.theatreronin.com.hk/theatre-productionwww.instagram.com/theatreroninwww.facebook.com/TheatreRonin Watch Trailer
