City Contemporary Dance Company Presents 2026-27 Dance Season: “Sensory Matrix”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Connecting the senses and the present through layered bodies, time and space<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

(HONG KONG \u2013 March 30, 2026) City Contemporary Dance Company (CCDC) proudly unveils its 2026\u201327 dance season, \u201cSensory Matrix\u201d, inviting audiences to explore life, emotion and sensation from multiple angles. Led by Artistic Director Sang Jijia, the season features four distinctive works that open up a layered space where sensation and empathy meet, gently stretching our ways of seeing. With new series and new rhythms, four major stage productions and a slate of overseas tours, CCDC draws on everyday experience and, through the dancers\u2019 finely tuned bodies, weaves together diverse cultures and cross-media forms into a vivid, richly textured programme.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A Visionary Message from Artistic Director Sang Jijia<\/strong>
\n“With each turning season, the stage transforms anew,” says Sang Jijia. “With \u2018Sensory Matrix\u2019, I am interested in how shifts of body, time and space can sharpen what we sense and reveal what usually stays unseen.\u201d He emphasises that CCDC will continue to connect across Asia and revisit classic works, and hopes that every audience member can feel the force of the present moment in the play of light, shadow and movement on stage.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Four Major Productions: Resonance Across Generations<\/strong><\/p>\n

Season Opener: Two Matters<\/em> (May, 2026)<\/strong><\/p>\n

A double bill featuring Chen Wu-kang\u2019s Restory<\/em>, which starts from the idea of \u201crest\u201d and weaves Cantopop with touch and physical support to awaken Hong Kong\u2019s collective memories; and Bruce Wong\u2019s Nowhere to Land<\/em>, which captures a lucid struggle inside extreme emotions, holding one\u2019s self at the edge between order and imbalance.<\/p>\n

\u2018Laap3 Laap3 Ling3\u2019 Series: Like Summer Flowers<\/em> (July \u2013 August, 2026)
\n<\/strong>This new series focuses on emerging choreographers and is choreographed and performed by CCDC dancers. True to its name, the work showcases the vibrant creativity of the next generation, sketching the lives and perspectives of today\u2019s young people with the immediacy of summer in full bloom.
\n
\n\u2018The Connected Stage\u2019 Series:\u00a0Kyli\u00e1n and Sangba<\/em>\u00a0(October, 2026)<\/strong>
\nA master production pairing the classic Sleepless<\/em> by Ji\u0159\u00ed Kyli\u00e1n (former Artistic Director of Nederlands Dans Theater, NDT) with a new creation by Sang Jijia. Sleepless<\/em> traces the loneliness and drifting consciousness of the sleepless through abstract movement, while Sang Jijia\u2019s new work gently layers bodies and years, extending the flow of feelings and relationships between people.<\/p>\n

Season Finale: Dance Matrix<\/em> (January, 2027)<\/strong><\/p>\n

A large-scale kinetic collage that weaves together classic moments from CCDC\u2019s repertoire with new creations. As dancers move through familiar yet recomposed rhythms, the work becomes both a tribute to the company\u2019s legacy and a sensory feast of touch, sound and image.
\n
\n<\/strong>Deepening Cultural Exchange and Talent Development<\/strong>
\nCity Contemporary Dance Festival (CCDF) & HOTPOT (October, 2026)<\/strong>
\nStaged at the East Kowloon Cultural Centre, this edition of the festival once again features the \u201cHOTPOT East Asia Dance Platform\u201d, a meeting point for artists from Hong Kong, Seoul and Yokohama to spark new cross-regional collaborations.
\n
\n\u2018Jumping Frames \u2014 Hong Kong International Movement-image Festival\u2019 on Tour (2026)<\/strong>
\nJumping Frames sets off on an international tour to leading experimental and dance film platforms, showcasing Hong Kong\u2019s most distinctive dance films in cities around the world and steadily widening the global presence and impact of Hong Kong dance.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

China National Arts Fund: Contemporary Dance Talent Development
