Y-Space will next month (July) present "Air and Breath II - Phenomenon" to explore how "breathing" relates to life through dance.
"Air and Breath II - Phenomenon" is a continuation and development of "Air and Breath" which toured Norway, Germany and Beijing. Starting with the body, Y-Space rediscovers the relationship between life and breathing and explores the role of breathing in Chinese traditional arts.
Y-Space was founded by Victor Ma Choi-wo and Mandy Yim Ming-yin in 1995. It aims to explore the various possibilities of performing arts through dance performances, and to try out new languages and directions in their creations.¡@Its works incorporate various creative media, such as improvisation, dance theatre, site-specific performance, pure dance and dance video. The company has been invited to perform in many arts festivals. It also toured the United States, Germany, South Korea, Norway and other countries and regions. Past productions include "Improvisation Land" series, "Invisible Contact", "None of your Business 05" and "Dance ¡¥In¡¦ Possible" series.
