Company History

Hong Kong Exile is proud to have developed a reputation as an engaged, rigorous and prolific emerging arts company since the time of its inception. Since 2011, we have created thirteen original works presented in dance, theatre, film/media and New Music Festivals in Vancouver, Victoria, Toronto, and Seattle.

In 2012, Hong Kong Exile was awarded an inaugural five-month residency at New Westminster’s River Market. This gave us the momentum to produce the sold-out festival, ASCENSION, a showcase of six new music composers pairing with six choreographers. In 2013, Hong Kong Exile was featured in Hive: NEW BEES 3, a showcase of the city’s most prolific emerging contemporary performance bodies.

Hong Kong Exile premiered a new work at the CanAsian Kickstart Festival in Toronto in 2014, marking the company’s first out-of-province tour. Projects over the last two years include an ambitious month-long gallery exhibition, presentations at CanAsian International Dance Festival, Seattle International Dance Festival, Dancing on the Edge Festival, and Gateway Pacific Theatre Festival, as well as a handful of ongoing collaborative initiatives. Present Hong Kong Exile projects reflect our company’s commitment to exploring multi-media innovation and integration with live performance.

Since 2015, members of HKX have been part of the Gold Saucer Studio, an independently run studio, rehearsal, and venue space. We are young, emerging artists creating a space for ourselves and others.

The members of Hong Kong Exile are currently embarking on a two-year residency with the PuSh International Performing Arts Festival (2017/2018).
