Co-presented by the Hong Kong Arts Festival and The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, “No Limits” strives to create a barrier-free environment enabling artists and audiences to explore and promote inclusiveness through the arts. A commissioned work of this year’s “No Limits” Pilot Creative Programme, The Story of Motion by dance artist Yao Wei is an inclusive dance project designed for people with visual impairment. In collaboration with local community centres, the project aims to encourage individuals with disabilities to engage in creative movement and artistic expression.
