The Interim Performance of “Lingnan Martial Arts Elite Training Programme” is choreographed by maestro Yang Yuntao, the artistic advisor of the project. The show brought together the fundamental techniques, two-person training techniques and sets of choreographed movements of the three styles from Chinese Martial Arts of the Lingnan tradition, namely Hung Kuen, Yongchun White Crane and Choy Lei Fat, with a crescendo manner escalating from simplicity to complexity. It aims to explore the possible expressions and interpretations between martial arts and performing arts. The Expert Panel Discussion was moderated by Mr. Hing Chao, our programme director.
