About the ensemble
Established in 2003, Burnt Mango Dance Theatre began as an “nomadic international theatre collaborative”, creating and performing original works such as Aftermath with Cocoa (winner of the Melvin B Troy Award for Choreography. 2003), Diamond Baby (2004) and Craig & Miriam (2006) in Philadelphia, Paris, Bytom and London.
In the August of 2006, Burnt Mango returned to Hong Kong . Its current eclectic ensemble include two former office cubicle workers, a managing director of a garment plant, a windsurfing instructor and his daughter, as well as freelance theatre professionals and musicians. With next-to-no budget but a passion and dedication to theatre practice, the company stands testimony to the fact that it is possible to do what you love and somehow, make a living as well.
Designed for theatre-arts students...
The Alchemy of Devising was a special workshop designed for GCSE and IB Theatre Arts students. Students from Li Po Chun United World College, Chinese International School and Yew Chung International School had an opportunity to watch a student preview of the production Concrete Jungle Berzerk! and then discuss with the director and cast members about the creation process.
After the discussion, students also had a chance to participate in some of the basic spatial and awareness practices that the company trains in.
