Introduction：

A live dance performance is performed in a restricted stage but demonstrated unlimited imagination. Video can be shot in any space but is eventually demonstrated within a rectangular frame. What would happened if the two combined? Dance video is a kind of performance integrating dance and film. It has been developed in Europe for more than ten years and becomes more and more important due to the emergence of cultural creative industry.

Maurice Lai is probably the most active dance video director in Hong Kong. He has created works for 8 years, and his works are getting mature and show more diversities. He is very sensitive to music and rhythm. His unique editing style created a lot of innovative dance video and won quite a number of awards. From his video, audience could feel the dancer trust on the director, as well as daily delights and hidden humor.
