SPITGAN : 今次香港區既賽事你覺得香港既Dancer表現如何呢？
Travis Pang : 今次香港Final的香港Dancer表現都很好！其實香港有不少勁人隱藏系到。但我想建議香港的Dancer要多去Party！由其與世界各地不同地方的人jam下，我地叫Cipher，圍圈的練習，隨機出去跳舞！多去Party，比賽時就會更放！
S : 有無一隊香港的團隊你特別記得或者喜歡？
T : 有一隊有3個香港人，2個日本女仔的，都算香港隊吧哈哈！他們叫Ganbatte Ganbaru。因為他們的隊員的舞蹈種類很齊全，基本上我們有的style項目他們都有參加1 on 1 單人賽。他們的All Style是最齊整的，齊舞的部分也很深刻。雖然他們最後沒有勝出，但對我的印象卻很深。
S : 下一年再辦的時候你覺得有什麼要改善或者加大力度去做呢？
T : 第4屆最想改善就是場地控制、人流、入場管控，什至想再請更多有質素的嘉賓。其實每一年我們都有個目標比自己，不想翻炒評判！所以每年的評判都會是新鮮滾熱辣，年年不同！DJ方面我們都希望有更多新鮮感，可能換一換MC或者DJ！所以下一年最緊要個場地設定，遮陰遮太陽、避雨的地方都會加多點。什至我們希望舞台不止一個！讓Dancer上台比賽前可以有一個熱身的區域，當他們真正上台比賽時更加放膽更加投入！
SPITGAN : What did you feel about the Hong Kong dance performances in general?
Travis Pang : All Hong Kong dancers in the finals did a great job! I believe Hong Kong has many great dancers. Having said that, I do want to suggest to our Hong Kong dancers : join more parties, dance with people from everywhere! We call it a cipher (dancing in a circle), but go out dancing randomly! Play more, join more parties. It will help a dancer be more bold when they are in competitions and on stage!
S : Any Hong Kong team you really like or you feel has great potential?
T : I remember one team had three Hong Kong people and two Japanese girls. We can count it as Hong Kong team haha! They are called Ganbatte Ganbaru. They are still in my mind because their dance styles covered most of the categories of our games! I think they joined every dance style’s 1 on 1 battles. All their style performances were tight. Although they didn’t win, I still can remember them.
S : Anything you would like to improve or upgrade on the SDK ASIA 2018?
T : The fourth SDK, we will definitely want to improve the site control, and flow. Even invite more high quality guests. Every year we have a goal, we don’t want to having same judges. So you can see we having different judges everytime. The DJ too, we also want to have more of a novelty style, maybe we will change our MC and/or DJ. The most important part in the coming SDK must be the venue setting! We will add more places to cover people from the elements. Furthermore, we hope we can have another stage next time. It will help our dancers have a warm-up before they really go on stage and battle, this can help them more prepared and courageous!
HKDI FASHION DESIGN GRADUATION SHOW PT.3
July 17, 2017 By Leave a Comment
Of course a great effort was put forth, without a doubt. Upon closer inspection I feel there was strong innovation from the textile designs, which might have gone unnoticed by most. It was dissappointing to see that my favorite 2 collections also did not make the graduate show. I guess why we are the critics and they are the professors! Regardless best of luck in the near future to the class of 17 and may your creativity compel you to success! SPITGAN is watching!
不過實際上，我對作品卻有一絲失望。主要是每個系列都太過相似，用色偏暗、Layer的造型、西服外套..有一兩個系列我寧願將他們結合為一組。雖然如此，有三個系列也倒是很有趣的。
第一個是Dale To的Moth，雪紡印上橫間，透視入面的直間恤衫，從而產生少許模糊的視覺效果。拼接格仔和和直間的上衣產生對比，看久了可能會有點頭暈，哈哈！另一個是Fa Leung的Conceal掩飾。如果你當日在場，肯定記得頭頂燈罩的這個系列。我特別喜歡他重新演譯了日本和服的感覺，由其那對「4腳鞋」。還有一個John Ng的Mismatch。將西裝當下身或許是個old story，但我喜歡再加上超高腰吊帶褲的男子，好像英國那些年老紳士般，高貴、成熟、優雅。特別一提他用的布料品質很好，是眾多系列中最讓我留意到的。
也許DI的作品未必是最令我驚訝的創作，但他們的作品可穿程度較高，品質也不錯。他們雖然少了一份天馬行空的奇想，卻多了一份踏實穩重。我想這個是兩個Style的學院風格吧！
