Sound Bodies I

An experimental dance project on sensing and hearing differently

Folded Paper Dance and Theatre Limited announces Sound Bodies I, a dance performance that explores sound, silence, and hearing differently in the context of everyday life in Hong Kong.

Sound Bodies I—with dancers Pak-Hong LAU; Ophey Sankofa CHAN; Rhyn CHEUNG; Hiu-Lam YUEN; and Tin-Lam MEN; and musician Alex Fode CHEUNG—explores creativity, community, city, and nature through dance, and music-sound environments to honor the cultural diversity of Hong Kong. As an investigation of Sound Bodies in the context of Hong Kong, the performance is both documentary and poetic.


Sound Bodies I is a Folded Paper Dance and Theatre Limited production with cooperating organizations HKU’s Common Core +, the University Museum and Art Gallery (UMAG), and Accessibility Partner: Arts with the Disabled Association Hong Kong as well as generous friends of Folded Paper.
