Diary VII • The Story Of...... Workshop 《日記 VII • 我來給你講個故事.....》工作坊

In this workshop led by choreographer Mui Cheuk Yin and lighting designer Lee Chi Wai, students will embark on a journey of creativity and imagination. Beyond unveiling the creative process behind Diary VII – the story of….., participants will delve into the physical and emotional dynamics between performers and objects using elements from the performance.

 

Lee Chi Wai will showcase the art of creating impactful lighting effects with minimal equipment, guiding students through hands-on lighting exercises to experience the enchantment of stage lighting. Mui and Lee will explore various stage elements to elevate students' creativity and theatrical encounters, inspiring them to transform ideas into reality with boundless imagination and innovation.

在工作坊中，梅卓燕與李智偉將利用不同的舞台元素提升學生的創造力與戲劇體驗，激勵參與者發揮想象力，運用創新思維，將構想化為現實，發掘自身潛在的可能性。

Lee Chi Wai  李智偉

Born in Hong Kong in 1977.

Active in the Hong Kong dance community as a stage designer.

At the beginning of his career, he was fortunate enough to work in the technical department of the City Contemporary Dance Company. During that period of time, he met many people and things that had a far-reaching impact on the future.

Now in a passive but concentrated stage of creation, I hope to keep my head clear in this big era and insist on making works that I will remember later.

Design works include Chou Shu-yi & Cheng Chih-chung: The Center; After the Deluge by Kingsley Ng, Almost 55 choreographed by Chou Shu-Yi, OnView:Hong Kong-West Kowloon Freespace- by Sue Haley, SoLow choreographed by Lai Tak Wai.

 

1977年生於香港。

以舞台設計的身份活躍於香港舞蹈界别。

職業初期有幸進入城市當代舞蹈團技術部工作，在那段日子遇到了不少對日後影響深遠人和事。

現在處於被動但集中的創作階段，希望在這個大時代中能保持頭腦清醒，堅持做以後自己會記得的作品。
