# Littlebreath Creative Workshop


## Description
A Hong Kong-based cross-media creative group, littlebreath places contemporary performance at the core of its exploration and focuses on the human condition. The group strives to connect artists from different disciplines and facilitate dialogue and experimentation across various media. Its body of work includes multimedia theatre, site-specific theatre, and audio-guided tours.

Recent works include the audio-guided tour series Our Mountains, Our Seas and Our Seas: Island Fantasia, which reflect on Hong Kong's urban development. Notable productions also feature The Border Trilogy: Cassandra / The End of the Representational World (winner of Production of the Year and Actor of the Year at the IATC (HK) Critics Awards; nominated for Best Director, Best Overall Performance, Best Stage Aesthetics Design, and Outstanding Actress at the Hong Kong Theatre Libre), Silent Border (nominated for Outstanding Actress at the Hong Kong Theatre Libre), and Silence. Border Tribe (nominated for Best Overall Performance at the Hong Kong Theatre Libre). Other works include Scenery Beyond Sight and Lucid Dreaming Time for the Hong Kong Repertory Theatre’s "Out of the Box" Black Box Theatre Festival. In November 2022, they will present Daydream, a creative research project themed "dreams and reality" in collaboration with the West Kowloon Cultural District.

Their debut production, Spinning, Sanzu River, was part of the Hyperlink Cattle Depot Experimental Theatre Festival. Centered on sound, physical movement, and poetic text, it won the Grand Jury Prize. Subsequent works Deus ex Machina and Feast of the Female Body (supported by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council's Project Grant) continued this exploration by breaking conventional performance spaces and incorporating installation elements. The former was a promenade performance on the JCCAC rooftop that combined video installations and picture books for storytelling; the latter transformed the JCCAC Black Box Theatre into a fluid space, requiring audiences to move 360 degrees to view the performance. Feast of the Female Body was also an interdisciplinary field research and creative project extending beyond the theatre, featuring interviews, a photography project, an online picture zine, and an installation exhibition, using different mediums to multi-dimensionally draw out the whispers of the female body.

Theatre critic Meng Fei noted that Spinning, Sanzu River "possesses a highly rich associative space," and that the play "reveals an urgent desire to construct personal history through words and sounds. However, the unreality of these records shatters the possibility of writing history, demonstrating the cultural phenomenon of 'historical amnesia' in a post-colonial city."

Critic Siu Sai once commented: "Chan Kwun-yee's texts often blend leaping imagery with flowing rhythms. They are deeply poetic, bursting with energy, and convey meaning beyond words, carrying the momentum of écriture féminine (feminine writing)." Fung Ching Ching further pointed out that littlebreath excels at "finding the proper place for words and physical movement on a stage centered around the creation of imagery."
