Lucie in the Sky<\/em> is an award-winning show from Australia that was presented by Hong Kong\u2019s East Kowloon Cultural Centre (EKCC) as part of its grand opening season.<\/p>\n

In keeping with the centre\u2019s mission to pioneer the creative use of technology in the arts, the piece by the Australasian Dance Collective (ADC) features six human dancers interacting with five drones.<\/p>\n

The tiny drones \u2013 seen by the audience as lights floating in the air \u2013 are beautifully choreographed and interact elegantly with the dancers.<\/p>\n

The piece is undoubtedly impressive, combining technology with dance. The dance itself, on the other hand, is disappointing \u2013 the concept may be imaginative, but the choreography is not.<\/p>\n

Under its former identity as the Expressions Dance Company, ADC has long-time connections with Hong Kong: its founding artistic director, Maggie Sietsma, was dean of dance at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, and her successor, Natalie Weir, has created a number of works for Hong Kong companies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
