李伟能是一位编舞、表演者和表演策划人。毕业于香港中文大学及英国伦敦当代舞蹈学院艺术硕士学位（当代舞），于2022年被委位为不加锁舞踊馆艺术总监。 

他的策划聚焦于本地当代舞蹈的生态中未被关注的版块，如创作过程（creative process）中的知识生产、整存及传播；跨文化语境及跨艺术媒介之间的对话以及身体的创造力于社区实践的模式，由此策划一系列当代舞展演及交流平台，包括以驻留为轴心的舞蹈节#非关舞蹈祭、本地研究发展陪伴计划dance-to-be、共学平台公开研习週等，尝试扩展对于以身体为主要媒介的创作观点。 

他的创作媒介包括现场表演、录像、文字书写及策划，以创作去理解舞蹈于当代的意义，擅长解构身体、意象及符号在不同层面的呈现和本质，透过展演去重新定义和聚焦当中的表演性。作品以观众的感知为基础，刻意制造出各种错置、冲突、或超越期望的调度，用以引导外在观看的经验回归到自身的省思。 

个人创作围绕流行文化，符号及再现，身体劳动、舞蹈及其形象之间的重叠及间隙等。例如《Emo Coaster》（2024－）探索流行曲与舞蹈之间的连结，理解当中人工建构的意义和情感表达，以及个人私密情感与大众流行文化之间关係；《慢舞》系列（2023－），把传统表演当中俐落、节奏分明、连贯的动态几近无限延伸和拉长，颠倒原来舞蹈的时间性，逐渐化为看似熟悉同时又感觉陌生的表演形式。以及一系列重整语言、符号及身体形象的作品包括《回声摺叠》（2016）、《回声二：人为景观》（2021）、《this work has three possible titles:》（2023）。影像作品包括《it tastes like you》（2016）、《Two Solos, One Dance, Three Frames》（2021）以及与影像导演杨适榕合作的《慢舞（对焦）》（2024）系列。 

作品曾巡演于英国、德国、日本、澳洲、上海、北京等地。为iCoDaCo（International Contemporary Dance Collective）2018－2020中的一员，与另外五位来自欧洲各国的艺术家进行为期两年的驻地、创作及巡演。

Claire Cunningham is a performer and creator of multi-disciplinary performance based in Glasgow, Scotland. One of the UK’s most acclaimed and internationally renowned disabled artists, Cunningham’s work is often rooted in the study and use/misuse of her crutches and the exploration of the potential of her own specific physicality with a conscious rejection of traditional dance techniques (developed for non-disabled bodies).  This runs alongside a deep interest in the lived experience of disability and its implications not only as a choreographer but also in terms of societal notions of knowledge, value, connection and interdependence.

 A self-identifying disabled artist, Cunningham’s work combines multiple art forms, including performance works:  ME (Mobile/Evolution);  12 made for Candoco Dance company;   Give Me a Reason to Live; Guide Gods, and the duet The Way You Look (at me) Tonight with choreographer Jess Curtis which was selected for the 2018 Tanzplatform in Germany and was nominated for an Isadora Duncan Dance Award.  Claire’s ensemble piece, Thank You Very Much won CATS awards for Best Ensemble and Best Sound and Music and was the inspiration for the Radio 4 programme, Elvis - A Tribute in Dance.  

In 2019, Claire created her first piece for gallery spaces, taking part in Automatise Ambulatoire: Hysteria, Imitation, curated by Amanda Cachia for Owen’s Art Gallery, Sackville, Canada. In 2020, Claire collaborated with scholar and activist Julia Watts Belser on audio works Quanimacy commissioned by The Place, London and We Run Like Rivers for Theaterformen Festival, Hannover.  In 2021, Claire was honored for her Outstanding Artistic Development in dance at the German Dance Awards.
