A series of world-class art and culture performances, exhibitions and symposia were presented at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) to celebrate the grand opening of the Run Run Shaw Creative Media Centre (CMC). Included in the festival were a variety of world-class programmes, from dance and music performances, installation, to new media art exhibitions and animation. The opening production included The Four Infinities, a music theatre performance featuring classical Chinese instruments; Movement B, a dance show that includes a 3D projection; and Night of 3Dimensions, Hong Kong’s first 3D VJ dance party that combines digital art, 3D projections and electronic music. The first two performances are world premieres. Other programmes included exhibitions on sound installations, sustainable cinema and photographs depicting the lives of people living in the lower Ngau Tau Kok Estate in east Kowloon; animation screenings, symposia on art and culture, and the bridging of new and traditional media.
