Shen Wei Dance Arts Winter Intensive

Shen Wei Dance Arts 2020 Winter Intensive will provide an informed pathway for opening the body and mind to new ways of approaching dance. Delve into Shen Wei’s Natural Body Development Technique. Through the detailed investigation of movement ideas, classes will research breath, internal energy, momentum, rotation and flow. Learn excerpts from selected company repertory. Through individual and collective movement research, each dancer will have a chance to work on group and solo material within the repertory works.

ABOUT SHEN WEI DANCE ARTS

One of the premier international dance companies, Shen Wei Dance Arts has won worldwide acclaim for “amassing a body of works so strikingly original they defy categorization” (The Boston Globe). The work Shen Wei makes for his Company draws on influences as varied as traditional Chinese culture and arts, European Surrealism, American high modernism, and the ritual power of ancient drama. Transcending East and West, Shen Wei Dance Arts fuses these disparate forms to forge a startling new hybrid form of dance. The Company’s dances reflect the compositional rigor of Shen Wei the visual artist, dancer, and choreographer—incorporating vivid colors, striking design, and imaginative use of space into theatrical, kinetic paintings.
