Born and raised in the concrete jungle of Hong Kong and later migrated to the American Southwest, the presence of contrast has been a common theme in the dance works, films, and photographs that Lawrence creates.
As a contemporary choreographer and dance artist, he is constantly exploring the integration and similarities between ballet, breaking, street-style concepts, partnering and improvisation. Bringing oppositional and varies movement disciplines into a harmoniously flow of sequences that exists in an unique dimension without contextual boundaries. Modern masculinity, religion, cultural influence and fashion are themes that gravitates his curiosity in dance-making.
The self-taught photographer and filmmaker has a particular interest in finding details and patterns in his worldly encounters. Inspired by the vastly diverse landscapes, urban architectures, and environments we live in, he finds purpose in uncovering the hidden layers and stories beyond what meets the eye. He uses visual language to draw his viewers attention to an encapsulating storytelling experience by exploring the theories of composition, color, scale, and choreographed camera movement all in relation to movement.
In the beginning of 2018, Fung founded his company Kraken Still and Film (KSAF), with a humble ensemble of dancers and composers. The interdisciplinary company celebrates the collaboration among dancers and artists of different backgrounds with the vision of creating meaningful and intricate dance projects.
