McMuiMui: RE

McMuiMui is a local dance duo founded by dancer-choreographers Abby Chan and Waimei Yeung. The duo made their marks in the world as early as in the 2000s, and has gone on hiatus for the last decade to pursue different paths in America. Celebrating their 20th anniversary in 2019, McMuiMui reunites in rejoice at their hometown, reprising their iconic humour and style – after 10 years of ripening, transformation and reflection. It is about the duo’s lives, Hong Kong, identity, age and gender from both the personal and universal perspective. The work is set to unveil the weirdest facets of Hong Kong urban life and its funny anecdotes, lifting the exuberant femininity effortlessly.

Body-in-Progress: 聚光dance · 散光show

Body-in-Progress: 聚光dance · 散光show

陳敏兒 Abby Chan (Dance) x 莫偉強 Christoper Mok (Lighting Design)

光合作用（Photosynthesis）：植物，有光就有命，將世界上的二氧化碳、水，轉化成葡萄糖同氧氣。氧氣釋回大氣，繼續循環，生生不息。

沒有光的日子，就是醞釀、等待、死亡。光之創作，鉅細無遺，從沒停下來。

生滅、聚散，光著身子來到地球，由「零」開始。說到底，靈魂走的時候，總會學到甚麼——縱使，只是一點點。

經歷講座、公開工作坊、多次實習，4位光之舞者聚過了，經歷光合作用——人、光、思、憶、情——不知有沒剩下葡萄糖？如今即將散開了，是回歸氧氣的時候了，誠邀閣下前來呼吸。

In Your Face – Screen Dance Project

Abby Chan x INJURY

As the world becomes angrier, this video emphasize catching the exaggerated expressions, gestures and actions of rage. The issues may be different, but the anger expressed by people around the world is universally understood, like —– emoji. Film is a natural medium to explore the idea of uncontrollable emotions. The behavior can look cartoonish, clownish, or immature. Hopefully this humorous tone helps to drive home the idea that anger uncontrolled does benefits no one. ACTION (camera phrase) with good intention is in need.

Another attempt of this video is merging film, dance and the fashion design of INJURY together. The name INJURY – when you are being cut and sewn you are in a situation of INJURY same as fabrics. Same as people.

“Dick Wong Tai-fai’s solo for Abby Chan Man-yee, Fissure, explores the conflict between the rational and emotional sides of the brain. Chan dances the same sequence of steps over and over while her “other” self, projected on a screen, gives her instructions. The introduction of music transforms the steps as they are accompanied by first one, then another sequence from Stravinsky’s TheRite of Spring. A smart piece performed with commitment by Chan. “
