Break Dance in HK, Louis Stettner@Boogie Woogie & in the studio: Didgeridoo player William Barton

2024-09-11
The didgeridoo, a wind instrument used in both ceremonial and informal settings, is an iconic symbol of Aboriginal Australia. Later in the show, didgeridoo performer William Barton, conductor Luke Dollman, sheng player Loo Sze-wang and William Lane of the Hong Kong New Music Ensemble will be joining us to talk about their upcoming concert featuring the didgeridoo and other instruments.

On show at Boogie Woogie Photography are 20 silver gelatin prints by American photographer Louis Stettner, best known for his black and white images of New York City and Paris.

Originating in hip-hop culture and the block parties of New York’s Bronx district in the 1970s, breakdancing made its first appearance as an Olympic event this year. While its inclusion has been controversial, Hong Kong has its own aspiring breakdancers and athletes who want to elevate the dance form as a sport.
