In 2024, Dance Reflection by Van Cleef & Arpels continues its collaborations in Hong Kong. The initiative continues to pursue its commitment to transmission and education and is once again organizing two artistic residencies in collaboration with the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts. As a result, students of the Academy will have the opportunity to attend two weeks of workshops led by Christian Rizzo and Ola Maciejewska, two choreographers regularly supported by Van Cleef & Arpels.
