Second Edition

Greater Bay Dance Festival

The Second Edition of “Greater Bay Dance Festival”, to be presented by the Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television, Tourism and Sports and the Cultural Hall of Shenzhen Longgang District, is scheduled to take place at the Shenzhen Longgang District Cultural Center from October 15-19, 2021.

The Greater Bay Dance Festival was held in Shenzhen for the first time last year. It gathered major league companies in China, hence demonstrated the country’s highest standard of contemporary dance and became a well-known festivity among dance circle within Shenzhen as well as throughout China. Building on such success, the 2021 Greater Bay Dance Festival extends its invitation to wider modern dance circle, covering cities across China such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Nanjing, Xian, Nanning, Tianjin, Handan, Macao and Hongkong.

Throughout the 40 years of opening and development, China’s innovations, for example with: high-speed train, mobile payment, bike-sharing, super infrastructure construction, have produced huge improvements in standard of living. People’s attitude towards livelihood underwent tremendous changes enabling themselves so proudly standing in the forefront of the modern world. Works by young dance artists can so perfectly reflect the physique and imaginations of the new generation in China. While Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hong Kong are considered the first-tier cities among the world, the second and third-tier cities of China are also advancing at incredible speed.

These young inhabitants of China have since embraced to the multi-facet cultural environment, and through their dance, express vigorously towards a contemporary, innovative, and individualistic identity.

With China’s revitalized society under flourishing economy, the dance artists are producing works with confidence and gaining attention across the globe.

Beijing Dance Festival

The Beijing Dance Festival is one of the biggest celebrations of dance in China, with more than 300 dance artists, over 200 dance students, and more than 5000 audience members congregating in Beijing every summer. These participants come from cities throughout China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, as well as across the world from North & Central America, Europe, Africa, and Asia.

The Beijing Dance Festival is co-presented by BeijingDance/LDTX, Hong Kong City Contemporary Dance Company (CCDC) China Dance Development and Beijing TianQiao Performing Arts Center. The annual Beijing Dance Festival began in 2008 as a one-week festivity, whose focus would alternate, from one year to the next, between international and Chinese artists. Since 2012, the Festival has combined both international and Chinese artists and expanded to its current two-week duration.

The two-week Beijing Dance Festival is composed of two parts: an Educational Week followed by a Performance Week. The educational week comprises an intensive six-day Dance Camp taught by an international faculty. The performance week comprises three performance modules: Focus, presenting full evening productions; Springboard, showcasing works that are more edgy and daring; and Youth Dance Marathon (YDM), offering an open platform designed especially for young choreographer to showcase their original works.
