Extended Choreography and Live Art Student Exhibition [Eaton Live Art Festival 2026]

Overview

The "Extended Choreography and Live Art Student Exhibition" brings together a group of emerging choreographers from the School of Dance at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts (HKAPA), including Zhang Zhiqing, Feng Xiaoxuan, Jin Jia, Qian Shuizi, and Shen Hongfei. In this showcase, they will present original performance works developed from their academic coursework. Each piece reflects the unique choreographic voice of the artist while exploring new boundaries of movement, thought, and performativity, translating conceptual research into impactful live actions. These works have been specially curated and adapted for the Eaton Live Art Festival 2026.

About the Eaton Live Art Festival

This exhibition is an integral part of the Eaton Live Art Festival. Hosted by Eaton HK and initiated by co-artistic directors Tang Fu Kuen and Chen Ching-Yuan, this festival aims to expand the discourse and space of live art. Moving beyond mainstream frameworks, the festival treats "performance" as a tool for knowledge production and community building. It weaves together choreography, materiality, research, life experiences, and identity to create a unique, interdisciplinary experience. The festival delves deep into how daily labor, habits, and rituals are transformed into performance forms, examining how repetitive actions shape the relationship between the self, the body, and the material world.
