If I Can’t Dance (2022)


She faces endless rehabilitation; her body keeps recalling the injury; she wishes to appease, yet she fell... Three dancers who have confronted injuries filled the visual with strain on the body. Collaborated with dancer and choreographer Jennifer Mok, the film ponders how to co-exist with the trauma and keep going after one’s world falls apart.

If I Can’t Dance is co-commissioned by City Contemporary Dance Company, Jumping Frames – Hong Kong International Movement-image Festival and Renaissance Foundation Hong Kong.
