This October, ADAHK had the honour of being invited once again by the BiG-i International Communication Center for Persons with Disabilities to participate in a large-scale dance drama production titled ‘Breakthrough Journey’ at the Osaka Expo. The performance brought together dancers from 11 regions across Japan and abroad, with over 100 performers collaborating to showcase inclusive art and the power of dance on an international stage.

The production included a dance segment choreographed by Cyrus Hui, featuring ADAHK’s artist Shadow Kid alongside three professional dancers: Sylvia Lee, Kingsan Lo, and Jocasta Lui. This collaboration provided a unique opportunity for dancers from diverse backgrounds to connect and interact on the same stage, delivering a heartfelt performance that celebrated diversity and offered audiences an unforgettable international arts experience.

Further to the trip to Osaka Expo, ADAHK partnered with The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts to present the ‘Breakthrough Journey’ Day Camp on 19 October. This event served as a local continuation of ADAHK’s three-year participation in the ‘Breakthrough Journey’ project at the BiG-i International Communication Center for Persons with Disabilities.

Two dance workshops were conducted by instructors Karen Chan and Cyrus Hui, together with ADAHK’s artists Sylvia Lai and Shadow Kid, all of whom had previously taken part in the ‘Breakthrough Journey’ Dance Camp in Japan. These workshops went beyond just teaching techniques; they invited participants to rethink dance as a medium for self-discovery and community connection.

Following the workshops, a sharing session on the dance drama ‘Breakthrough Journey’ at Osaka Expo was held. This session was moderated by Dr Patrick Mok and featured artists involved in the production: Cyrus Hui, Shadow Kid, Kingsan Lo, and Jocasta Lui. They shared their journeys, including the challenges they faced, cultural exchange experiences, and reflections on creating inclusive productions.

The event brought together local participants from diverse backgrounds and abilities, encouraging them to engage and explore the possibilities of dance while embracing the spirit of inclusion.

The Danny Awards are a globally recognised music competition dedicated to showcasing the talents of musicians with disabilities. The event attracts participants from around the world, with winners selected by a panel of professionals from the music industry.

Yang Enhua, the recipient of the ‘Lee Hysan Foundation Scholarship’ and the ‘Artists with Disability Development Fund,’ won the 6th Danny Awards for his outstanding interpretation of ‘Cat and Mouse,’ a piece by contemporary Chinese composer Cao Tianli.

He travelled to New York, USA, to attend the awards ceremony and performance on 25 October. Enhua performed the erhu alongside other award-winning musicians from around the globe, showcasing both his remarkable artistry and the beauty of Chinese music.

During his visit, Enhua also toured Daniel’s Music Foundation, where he conversed with its president, who is also a sponsor of the Danny Awards, as well as with fellow award recipients. For him, it was a meaningful opportunity for cultural and artistic exchange.

After two years of meticulous preparation, ADAHK partnered with Hong Kong Polytechnic University and the School of Professional Education and Executive Development (SPEED) to offer a course titled ‘Experiencing Art for the Visually Impaired through Audio Description.’ The course aims to teach students the fundamental techniques of Audio Description, enabling people with visual impairments to access the arts without barriers. It is the first fully accredited Audio Description course available in Hong Kong’s tertiary education system. When the course was launched in the 2024-2025 academic year, it accepted twenty students from the Social Work specialisation. Feedback from these students has been overwhelmingly positive. In the new academic year of 2025-2026, more than twenty students from the Chinese Language and Culture Programme have enrolled in the course. They are actively preparing for their audio description practicum.

In collaboration with HSBC, ADAHK organised Accessible Tours for the exhibition, allowing visitors to travel through time as they explored HSBC’s 160-year history. The team created various tour formats tailored for visitors and students with hearing impairments or special learning needs, ensuring that the exhibition content was accessible and that HSBC’s journey alongside Hong Kong was effectively communicated. After the tour, participants engaged in interactive screen-printing workshops that deepened their connection to HSBC’s brand story, concluding this remarkable experience.

We will provide Arts Accessibility services for the art programmes below. You are most welcome to enjoy and participate.
