梁儉豐 Kenny Leung 是香港當代舞蹈藝術家、編舞及舞蹈導師，現為藝團 Common Ground 藝術總監。投身舞蹈與舞台超過二十年，畢業於香港演藝學院舞蹈學院（主修中國舞、副修編舞），並於臺北藝術大學取得舞蹈碩士（當代舞表演）。他曾於台灣專業舞團及劇團擔任演出與創作工作，亦參與多位香港及國際編舞家的作品，足跡遍及歐洲、亞洲及澳洲。

​

他的身體語言根植於 中國古典舞與民族民間舞 的功底，同時吸收台灣當代舞的開放訓練，形成一種遊走於 傳統與當代、東方與西方 之間的獨特風格。對梁儉豐而言，舞蹈不只是表演，更是一種把記憶、文化與城市經驗「寫進身體」的方式；他長期以「身體研究」作為創作核心，關注 身體語彙、城市記憶與文化身份，並持續探索劇場中「觀看」與「在場」的可能。

​

他其中一個重要創作脈絡是 「身體印記」系列：把身體視為承載記憶與文化的載體，並把「展覽」的觀看方式帶入劇場，讓觀眾不只坐著觀看，而是在空間與片段之間重新組織自己的感受與理解。作品《身體印記 II：眾觀》以「展覽式劇場」重構觀演關係，曾獲香港舞蹈年獎提名。

​ 

另一個創作方向是 「Battle」系列，他獲香港西九文化區委約創作《戰鬥圖騰》，他將街舞 battle 的即興、規則與對話性引入劇場，提出「Non-Genre Battle」概念，邀請不同背景的表演者在同一場域中相遇與交流，讓舞蹈不再被單一類型定義，而成為一場關於身體、觀點與時代感的對話。

​

他的長篇舞蹈劇場作品《部落祭壇》以世界各地民族舞為素材，延續「展覽式劇場」的觀演方式，回應消失文化與身體記憶如何被延續的課題，並於 2025 年獲香港舞蹈年獎「傑出小型場地舞蹈製作」。此外，他於 2024 年獲選為西九創研計劃得獎者，以自己作為香港仔水上人後代的身份出發，展開在地研究，並創作戶外沉浸式互動演出《水的迴聲》，以香港仔水上人文化與口述歷史為題，交織舞蹈、現場音樂、聲音裝置與文字路徑，回應本土文化與傳承。

​

在公共參與與社區連結方面，他獲香港政府康樂及文化事務署委約製作「香港社區文化大使計劃」十八區巡迴演出《雜耍小英雄》（共 16 場），作品以武林故事為引子，融合雜耍、戲劇與舞蹈，把水晶球、扯鈴等傳統街頭技藝轉化為當代舞台語彙，讓觀眾在輕鬆幽默中感受民間技藝的當代魅力，並傳遞合作與團結的精神，在巡演的即時互動中建立與社區同呼同吸的現場經驗。

 

在跨界合作方面，他亦曾為多部紀錄劇場及跨媒體作品擔任編舞與形體指導，並與燈光、聲音及新媒體創作團隊合作，持續拓展舞蹈在當代藝術與公共空間中的可能性。

 

Kenny Leung (Leung Kim-fung) is a Hong Kong contemporary dance artist, choreographer, and dance tutor, and the Artistic Director of Common Ground. With over two decades of experience in dance and theatre, he graduated from the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts (Dance; major in Chinese Dance, minor in Choreography), and obtained an MFA in Dance (Contemporary Dance Performance) from Taipei National University of the Arts. He has worked in Taiwan with professional dance companies and theatre groups as a performer and creator, and has collaborated in works by Hong Kong and international choreographers, touring across Europe, Asia, and Australia.

​

Rooted in the refined techniques of Chinese classical dance and Chinese ethnic/folk dance, and shaped by the open training of Taiwan’s contemporary dance scene, his movement language forms a distinctive style that moves between tradition and the contemporary, East and West. For Leung, dance is not merely performance but a way of “writing” memory, culture, and urban experience into the body. His practice is grounded in long-term embodied research, with a focus on movement vocabulary, urban memory, and cultural identity, while continuously exploring possibilities of viewing and presence in the theatre.

​

One of his key creative trajectories is the “Body Codes” series, which regards the body as a vessel of memory and culture. By bringing an exhibition-based mode of viewing into the theatre, he invites audiences not only to watch from their seats, but to recompose their perceptions and interpretations across space and fragments. Body Codes II: Performscape reconfigures the performer–audience relationship through an “exhibition-theatre” format and was nominated for the Hong Kong Dance Awards.

​

Another trajectory is the “Battle” series, He was commissioned by the West Kowloon Cultural District (Hong Kong) to create The BATTLE, Introducing the improvisation, rules, and dialogic nature of street-dance battles into the theatre, he proposes the concept of “Non-Genre Battle”, bringing performers from diverse backgrounds into a shared arena of encounter and exchange. Here, dance is no longer defined by a single genre, but becomes a conversation about the body, perspectives, and the sensibility of the time.

​

His full-length dance-theatre work Imagined Altar draws on folk dances from around the world and continues his exhibition-theatre approach, responding to how disappearing cultures and embodied memories may be carried forward. In 2025, the work received the Hong Kong Dance Awards – Outstanding Dance Production in a Small Venue. In addition, he was selected as an awardee of the West Kowloon Creative Incubation Programme in 2024. Starting from his identity as a descendant of the Aberdeen boat-dwelling community, he conducted place-based research and created the outdoor, immersive interactive performance Anchored in Memory, themed around Aberdeen’s boat people culture and oral histories, weaving together dance, live music, sound installation, and text-based pathways to reflect on local culture and its transmission.

​

In terms of public engagement and community connection, he was commissioned by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) of the Hong Kong Government to create Juggling Wonders, a Community Cultural Ambassador Programme touring production across Hong Kong’s 18 districts (16 performances). Framed by a martial-arts tale, the work blends juggling, theatre, and dance, transforming traditional street arts—such as crystal ball manipulation and diabolo—into a contemporary stage vocabulary. Through lightness and humour, it allows audiences to experience the contemporary vitality of folk practices while conveying a spirit of collaboration and solidarity, and builds a shared, breathing live experience with the community through real-time interaction during the tour.

​

Across disciplines, Leung has also served as choreographer and movement director for documentary theatre and cross-media productions, collaborating with creative teams in lighting, sound, and new media, and continuing to expand the possibilities of dance within contemporary art and public space.
