while using dance as therapy is another way to demonstrate its potential power. I hope that all these aspects will open the reader’s eyes to what is already happening and that much more is yet to come. The OBSERVATION section is also a must read, packed with articles. Will dance theatre for infants and toddlers be the starting point for physical development, letting them dance before they learn to walk? The dance artist’s journey of reflection and self-exploration and the experiences and sharing of the participants, not only serves as a record, but also provides material for new creations. Curators of international festivals play an important role in enabling Hong Kong artists to connect with audiences overseas. All these articles have been specially put together by our editorial team for our readers to know more about the possibilities of dance. In addition to Ivy Tsui’s regular COLUMN, the final chapter of “Ergao: Kung Hei Fat Choy” series reveals the curatorial concept of the curator in Dance Curating in Asia. Our commissioned photographer, Lee Wai-leung, continues to surprise us with his wonderful contributions to the cover. In the photo, two dancers with contrasting styles embody the artistry of the human body, revealing the boundless potential of dance.

The body doesn't lie. When we feel emotion, the hands dance, the feet dance and different bodies with different abilities express our deepest feelings in their own free way. When the body and the mind are closely connected, performance is not about techniques and skills. However, while a more delicate complexity in exploring the body and the vocabulary of dance is involved, it is also about caring for human beings. Inclusivity in the arts has been successfully practised in local and international contexts for many years. It all begins with recognising and respecting that all people have the right to express themselves.
