The 2025 Annual General Meeting of World Dance Alliance Asia-Pacific will be held in conjunction with SWEAT 2025.
SWEAT builds on the success of its inaugural edition in 2022. Launched by the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts (HKAPA) amidst the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, the first festival provided a vital digital platform for artists to connect, share best practices, and engage in meaningful dialogue. Over two weeks, SWEAT brought together 640 arts practitioners from 23 countries through research labs, workshops, masterclasses, dance video screenings, and open discussions, establishing itself as a hub for innovation and artistic exchange.
In 2025, SWEAT will focus on the theme ‘Cultural Sequences: Asia Pacific Choreographic Discovery’ to celebrate vibrant dance expressions that transcend geographic boundaries. The festival will feature four key events:
- Workshop Series
- Dance Conference
- DanceTECH Research Showcase
- Choreographic Projects Open Studio Presentations
These events will enable participants to tailor their experiences and enhance their practices and research ideas. In our increasingly interconnected world, understanding cultural expressions through dance is essential for celebrating diversity and fostering meaningful collaborations.
Join us at the HKAPA campus in Hong Kong as we continue to innovate, inspire, and connect within the global dance community!
