We are teaming up with Unlock Dancing Plaza to co-present Sonic Anchor #44: Duo Residency 2024. The two pairs of artists: Sou x Manna and Wood x Hoi-Ling have been working together since February and will demonstrate their collaborative process at McAulay Studio on May 14.

During the residency, the artists had exchange ideas and thoughts on the collaborative approaches of sound and bodily expressions. Through continuous experimentations and dialogue exchanges, we seek to foster new languages in cross-disciplinary collaborations.

Sou and Manna are pondering on their own communicative process in the approach to improvisation and depicting the differences in perspective and perception through establishing mechanisms for improvisation.

Wood and Hoi-Ling are unfolding the association of sound in both imaginative and daily situations, and the implication of actions, memories, habits, people, emotion and bodily responses in the connotation of sound. They are also interested in the exploring the intersection between text, speech and imagination, and the correlation with sound, movements and motion.
