Enriching Communities through the Performing Arts

At Henderson Land, we believe that arts and culture play a vital role in shaping vibrant communities and inspiring future generations. By supporting a diverse range of initiatives - including dance, music, theatre, and community arts programmes - we aim to broaden access to cultural experiences, nurture young talent, and strengthen social connections.

Empowering the Next Generation of Dancers

This year, we are glad to become the Community Education Partner of Hong Kong Dance Company. We proudly supported the launch of “HKDance Art Space” at Novum East, Quarry Bay - a vibrant hub designed to cultivate artistic expression and community engagement. This space serves as a key training ground for HKDance’s Children’s and Youth Troupes (“C&Y Troupes”), equipping young dancers with professional skills and performance opportunities.

To further support young dancers, we established “H．Dance Community Education Fund”, which provides full subsidies to 20 young dancers annually for 3 years. Through this initiative, these aspiring dancers gain access to high-quality training and valuable stage experience, helping them realise their full potential in the performing arts.

Beyond dance education, Henderson Land is committed to making the arts accessible to the wider community. We sponsored HKDance’s stage production “Fun Ride with Big Beard - Dancing Poems 2.0”, bringing together 160 beneficiaries from our community to experience the beauty of Chinese dance, drama, poetry, and music. In addition to enjoying the spectacular performance, guests participated in a pre-show talk hosted by HKDance, where they gained insights into stage production techniques and the intricacies of the performing arts.

Supporting World-Class Ballet in Hong Kong

Our dedication to the performing arts extends to our sponsorship of Hong Kong Ballet’s “The Nutcracker”, a world-class production recognised with the Star of Outstanding Award at UNESCO’s 2024 Global Awards for World Heritage Education Innovative Cases. As the title sponsor, we helped bring this breathtaking ballet to a wider audience, celebrating its premiere with an unforgettable evening at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre.

To share the festive joy, we also invited 100 community members from organisations such as Nam Cheong Community Living Room, Make-A-Wish Hong Kong, HKFYG Lee Shau Kee Primary School and HKFYG Lee Shau Kee College to experience the magic of “The Nutcracker.” Attendees not only enjoyed the performance but also participated in a pre-show talk and an exclusive meet-andgreet with the dancers, deepening their appreciation for the art of ballet.

Celebrating Opera and Local Artistic Talent
Henderson Land’s passion for the performing arts extends to opera, supporting the Hong Kong Grand Opera’s production of “Hansel and Gretel” at the Kwai Tsing Theatre. This timeless fairy-tale opera brought together audiences of all ages with its enchanting music and storytelling.

As part of our commitment to strengthening corporate engagement with the arts, we invited our staff to enjoy this magical performance, fostering a deeper appreciation for opera while promoting a sense of community through shared cultural experiences.
