Venue: Baosteel Stage (Large), Expo Park, Pudong
Swing dance and swing music emerged in the same era but went on to develop separately. As a result, performances of both at the same event became less frequent. Now, almost a century on, Hong Kong’s Saturday Night Jazz Orchestra and 30 dancers from Shanghai Swings have joined forces to create a swing party featuring dance and music in a nostalgic step along memory lane.

Contemporary jazz emerged in the 1970s, integrating jazz, pop and rock music. If you want to fall in love with such sounds, don’t miss this concert.

Pianist and arranger Ted Lo is a distinguished Hong Kong musician. He gained his reputation as a master of jazz in the US and Europe and has also successfully established himself as a composer and producer. He has worked with numerous world-class musicians. Eugene Pao is Hong Kong’s most publicly recognised jazz guitarist and some say his name is synonymous with Hong Kong jazz. He has performed with many international stars.

Other jazz musicians from Hong Kong and Shanghai will also join Ted and Eugene for several wonderful shows.

CitySpeakXVI: From Sai Wan to a Nature Conservation Policy

CitySpeakXVII: From Sai Wan to a Nature Conservation Policy
Fringe Club
Saturday, 18 September 2010
10:00am-12:30pm

Sai Wan, Hoi Ha, To Kwa Peng … the list of conservation areas destroyed by development is long. Rescued by ‘facebook’, the question now is whether we can make sure that Sai Wan is the last site of high ecological and landscape value to be destroyed.
CitySpeak will focus on planning and development of the New Territories, the small house policy, our nature conservation policy (and lack thereof) and the calls for a nature conservation trust. How far should we go to conserve Hong Kong’s natural assets? How far do you want Hong Kong to go – and are we willing to pay the price?
Join academics, concern groups, and officials in a discussion and let your views be heard.

香港藝穗會將於10月來滬，於世博園寶鋼大舞台獻上多場爵士樂音樂會，與此同時挑選高水準和具潛質的爵士樂新力軍，邀請他們於2011年1月赴港參與一年一度的爵士大樂隊節，與知名搖擺大樂隊星期六爵士大樂隊及Lando Big Broad Band同台演出，樂隊成員來自不同國家，過往曾參與多個國際級爵士音樂節。

來年的爵士大樂隊節將於1月11日於香港大會堂音樂廳舉行，藝穗會將以港滬爵士樂交流為亮點，為日後兩地的長遠互訪樹立典範。


香港爵士樂觀眾擁有國際大都會的視野和賞析力，獲取錄者既可藉著這次演出在千多位觀眾面前顯露個人才華，並藉此機會建立個人網絡，與來自世界各地的爵士樂好手互相砌磋，為邁向國際樂壇的道路打好基礎。


藝穗會過往曾舉辦多個爵士樂音樂會，每年與超過一百支來自香港、內地及海外的樂隊合作；亦於2009及2010年分別舉辦爵士大樂隊節《爵士繽紛飛》及《搖擺樂與舞》，叫好又叫座，獲觀眾稱讚音樂會為「五星級的演出」；音樂會廣受傳媒關注，香港英文報章《南華早報》更載有樂評大讚演出「vigorous toe-tapping…makes people want to get up and dance」



香港兩大爵士大樂隊

星期六爵士大樂隊

星期六爵士大樂隊於1990年於香港成立，由19位來自世界多個國家和地區的樂手組成。樂團獲香港政府邀請於2010年上海世博會期間擔任演出；過往曾多次獲邀參加世界各地的音樂節及藝術節，包括前往新加坡為「照亮新加坡」作開幕演出；樂隊主音廖綺玲的歌技出色精湛，《南華早報》(South China Morning Post)樂評這樣形容她﹕「廖綺玲對爵士音樂的演繹，是在Billie Holiday苦樂參半的憂鬱與Eartha Kitt敏銳細巧的性感之間，保持最優雅和微妙的姿態。」。


Lando Big Broad Band

樂隊由17人組成，成員主要是居港的菲律賓人，曾與多位來自東南亞、南美洲及非洲的音樂人同台演出；樂隊風格由搖擺音樂到拉丁音樂，當中不少作品由隊長Rolando Bernal親自編曲。樂隊於本年曾為影星王敏德的演唱會擔任演奏。

- 以看不見的、令你看得見 -
王志勇裝置藝術展

“世間的底蘊是可見，而非無形的。”
-王爾德

(香港 2010年7月5日) 在看到與看不到之間，你可曾留意過身邊的世界有多少看不到的真、看得到的假？燈光設計師王志勇， 透過創作裝置上的燈光、顏色、音樂、空間及觸感等元素，刺激各個感官神經末端，讓你踏上窺見世界真貌的旅程。
《A View of Light》概念源自王志勇過去十多年於香港、巴黎及芬蘭的生活體驗。從接觸、學習、應用到創作燈光藝術及設計裝置期間，他發現每個人對「光」均有一定的原始感覺及認知，但偏偏光卻是最多變、最難捉摸，是一種看見/看不見之間的存在。王志勇以這種似非而是的存在感為主題，並集結他的表演藝術及視覺藝術技巧，創作出這個集合不同領域的感官綜合裝置展覽，讓參觀者理解各個感官的千絲萬的關係，察覺到感官為人忽略的存在感，及感官應有的主動性。
是次展覽，更邀請來自法國的音樂創作人Pierre Faa及香港作曲家Martin Lai合作，為這個綜合五感的藝術裝置，打造令人看得見的音色。《A View of Light》同時打開其他感官神經，觀者可以眼睛、手腳、心跳來重拾自身感官的存在，讓你會發現顏色與燈光除了有看得見的影響力，同時有不能忽視而看不見的力量。


The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.
- Oscar Wilde

“Sometimes we can see things that aren’t there. But what if the things that ARE there turn out to be unseen to us? It’s like love: we can’t see it, but we JUST know it’s there!”

Artist Wong Chi-yung has a background in the visual and performing arts. He came to realise that we all have certain understand­ings of and feelings about light, and that light is unobtrusive yet invasive, intangible yet primitive to our mind. With this exhibition, he aims to establish a discourse between light and the visitor’s senses. Featuring music by French composer Pieer Faa and local composer Martin Lai.

乙城話 City Speak XV :誰能負擔得起香港的樓價 Who can afford housing in Hong Kong

What is the social and political impact of Hong Kong's policies about
housing and the price of land? Should we build smaller to be more
affordable, or are we already building too small? Do the Home Ownership and Public Housing schemes work? In a city where 50 per cent of the residents live in public housing, the Government is now gathering your views on subsidising home ownership.

Join Mr. Duncan Pescod, Permanent Secretary responsible for Housing, and a panel of experts including Jake van der Kamp (Columnist, South China Morning Post), Alan Leong Kah-kit (Legislator, Civic Party), Kenneth Leung (Vice-Chairman, Pro-Commons) and Dr Yip Ngai-ming （Associate Professor, City University of Hong Kong）, and let us know what you think!
乙城話XV：誰能負擔得起香港的樓價？
藝穗會
10:00am-12:30pm
8月7日
香港的地價及房屋政策對我們的社會和政治有何影響？我們應該興建面積更小的單位，令樓價較容易負擔嗎？或是現時的樓宇單位其實已建得太小？居屋及公屋計劃到底是否有效？在一個過半數居民居住於公共屋邨的社會中，政府希望收集你對資助市民自置居所的意見。
運輸及房屋局常任秘書長(房屋)兼房屋署署長 栢志高先生、南華早報專欄作家 Jake van der Kamp、公民黨副主席和立法會議員 梁家傑、公共專業聯盟副主席 梁繼昌和香港城市大學公共及社會行政學系副教授葉毅明博士等多位專家將會聚首一堂，共同討論香港樓宇問題，歡迎你參與並就此發表你的意見！

稻草人儜立在急速發展的石屎森林中顯得更礙眼，但他能靜靜的觀望到四時的變化。現代人努力追求一個更加美好的生活形式環境為我們的需索而不斷改變，我們得到的比以前更多，但同時失去的也許更多。稻草人藉著身體再次與身處的環境交通聯繫過去、現在和將來。盼望能與那些被自己遺忘的人和事來一次重新的對話......
