Born and based in Hong Kong. Clarice is a dance artist and performer with a background in professional accounting. She integrates the accounting concept “substance over form” into her dance practice, which emphasizes the importance of movers’ intentions and awareness over merely executing the physical shapes of movement. She is curious about the connections and consciousness within the body through anatomical analysis and investigating the full physical possibilities. In her work, she is interested in researching authentic expressions and truthful qualities by developing connections with humans, objects and spaces that foster meaningful dialogue between artists, audiences and the wider world.
Clarice is a graduate of the MA Dance: Performance programme at LCDS, where she was a member of Cohort 02. During the programme she worked with project leaders such as Dickson Mbi Company, Alexander Whitley Dance Company, Theo Clinkard, Steve Kirkham, Holly Blakey, Hannes Langolf, Seke Chimutengwende, Benjamin Jonsson, Rakesh Sukesh and Alleyne Dance under the course leadership of Tom English, Tina Afiyan Breiova and Dr Andrew Sanger, working closely with individual mentor Emma Bonicci.
The reflective process over this one-year journey serves as a reminder of the importance of establishing a mindset that values inquiry and growth, as I navigate the ever-changing landscape of the arts while embracing its uncertainty and complexity in my pursuit of becoming a more competent and committed dance artist.
