Lau is interested in the body’s functionality and expressiveness. He explores different somatic practices, including Taichi, Xingyiquan, Feldenkrais Method, Alexander Technique and Gyrokinesis etc. He is eager to share his knowledge and taught classes in dance, improvisation and body awareness in Hevolution, The Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs Association of Hong Kong and New Life Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association. He believes learning and exchanging of these practices enrich the body mind connection as well as allow the “artistic” and “functional” perspectives of movement to feed each other so that he could fulfil his vision of connecting with people, developing a set of creative methodologies and movement vocabularies as well as promoting the well-being of body and mind.
