Situation in Hong Kong
In Hong Kong, Ballet in downtown is still in an embryonic stage. It is traceable to some international cameraman’s work about ballet in downtown. Especially, a series of images of the Australian Ballet that Lisa Tomasetti presented in her first exhibition at James Makin Gallery has a significant impact on Hong Kong’s Downtown Ballet. At present, in Hong Kong, most of the downtown ballet dancers are foreigners, as this kind of culture hasn’t been popular in local. However, as the downtown ballet always appears in busy street, famous square and some other public places, it’s easier for the citizens to accept and culture spread, and also it appeals to Hong Kong’s fast pace of modern life. Therefore, downtown ballet may well start a trend in dance in Hong Kong.
