Margaret Ho
Graduated from the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts with a major in Musical Theatre Dance, Margaret worked as a full-time performer at the Festival of Lion King in Hong Kong Disneyland and Singapore Universal Studios, upon where she first contacted and fell in love with fire dancing. As a fire dancer, she also initiated her interest in circus arts, where she started training in Aerial Dance and Hula Hoop.
As the project-based Artistic Director, performer and workshop instructor for Hong Kong Circus, Margaret enjoys creating shows that unify contemporary circus and multimedia. Her major works include “Fishing Village” in Sai Kung Waterfront Park, “Kibo’s Journey of Rebirth” performed in West Kowloon District and “Grad in my Dream” as part of the 2019 Community Cultural Ambassador Scheme. She also actively participated as an instructor in various training programmes and workshops, sharing her knowledge on aerial dancing and hula hoop.
By drawing inspiration from the humanistic values and relationships she encountered from day to day, her works seek for audiences to resonate with and reflect on. She also enjoys creating alongside the performers, where she allows them to incorporate and merge their individuality into the piece. Margaret continues to strive for performances opportunities that are open to the public and all-inclusive, in hopes of promoting the unique art form of circus in Hong Kong, and creating a stage that is welcoming for everyone.
