No Discipline Limited

「冇規矩、不設限、跨領域」是創作的重要心態:敢於探索、拉闊表達與呈現的方式、可能。

NDL由獨立策劃人黎蘊賢於2019年成立。成立目的是要打開跨領域創作及合作的想像,促進更跨界與跨文化地域的合作可能。

嘗試邀請不同文化藝術工作者參與,聯合策劃不同項目,以更寬闊視點、模式及討論,去探索對當代藝術/演出的理解與實驗。當中包括:與黃大徽 (編舞、導演、表演者)、賴閃芳 (劇場工作者) 共同策劃的「演代演義」– 對話系列 (2020) 及獲香港藝術發展局委約,為賽馬會藝壇新勢力壓軸節目策劃了《搭枱》展・演談 – 知識與表演跨領域交流。又與方韻芝 (視覺及社區藝術策展人) 聯合策劃的社區藝術項目「見山不是山」(2021-22)。

NDL近期獨立策劃項目,亦包括:作曲家及聲音藝術家趙朗天創作的導聽演出《耳蝸裡有隻象 Truth within Earshot?》(2021)、視覺藝術家馬琼珠及吳子昆聯合創作的景像|意狀演出《躺在桌上的物件》(2021)、及Nerve創作的裝置-歌劇-迷睡驗驗作品《桑莉吟》(2022),與及「像是樂園」(2022-23) 社區藝術項目。

NDL獲亞洲文化協會支持,與香港兆基創意書院合辦名為「Something Foreign」的國際藝術家留駐計劃,提供一個跨文化交流平台,讓藝術家交流創作的同時,分享對身份、價值、與願景,建立更長遠的聯繫。

“No Discipline” is a creative initiative with a playful heart and free spirit. Defying conventional boundaries, it is a catalyst promoting new methods of expression and presentation.

No Discipline Limited (NDL) was founded by independent curator – Orlean Lai, in 2019. NDL serves to unleash imagination and creativity through broader cross-disciplinary collaboration. One of its initiatives is to assemble a creative laboratory where intermedia experiment and cross-cultural collaboration can generate synergy.

As a modern convener of encounters among cultural/ arts practitioners, NDL continuously push the limits of curatorial visionary, with a primary focus on contemporary arts/ performance. Its past co-curated projects include dialogue series Performance Matters, (2020), and the Hong Kong Arts Development Council commissioned Finale programme for the Jockey Club New Arts Power – Tables of Contents (2021) – exhibition & lecture performances – from knowledge to performativity exchange. They are both co-curated by Orlean Lai, Dick Wong (choreographer/ director/ performer) and Lai Sim-fong (dramaturge/ theatre practitioner); a commissioned community art project series Mountain No Mountain (2021-22), co-curated with Vangi Fong (visual and community art curator).

NDL has recently curated and produced an auditory performance – Truth within Earshot? (2021)with composer/sound artist Alain Chiu; a land|scape performance – Objects Lie on A Table with visual artists Ivy Ma and Ng Tsz-kwan (2021); an installation-opera-trance – Somnium by Nerve (2022); and another community art project series Playground as Metaphor (2022-23).

With the support from Asia Cultural Council, NDL is now in partnership with HKICC Lee Shau Kee School of Creativity in organising an International Artist-in-Residence – Something Foreign in Hong Kong. The programme serve as a platform for cross-cultural dialogue, sharing of identities, values and visions, in the shaping of arts. It provides opportunity to build lasting connections on ideas and experience sharing between people.
