CCDC in Residence Social Distancing Theatre “Joyeux Noël” Screendance Version Where should I go? Stay in my comfort zone or go for an adventure of the unpredictable world? CCDC resident artist Noel Pong has choreographed her first solo performance Social Distancing Theatre “Joyeux Noël”. The performance is taken in a single shot, carefully arranged by Noel and the director. In a small room that looks like a black box, she will gradually narrow the distance between the performer and the audience, sparking an intimate discussion in our hearts. Social Distancing Theatre “Joyeux Noël” is presented as part of Freespace’s CCDC in Residence 2020. The three-year CCDC in Residence programme is part of West Kowloon’s commitment to establish long-term partnerships with local and international arts organisations. In this programme, CCDC partners with Freespace to bring over a dynamic dance experience to audiences of all ages.
