Chinese Contemporary Dance: Rethinking bodies in motion
Jan 25--Feb 1, 2013 @ UC Berkeley
Contemporary dance in China is flourishing. At UC Berkeley, we present a series of events to engage with the discourses and practices of Chinese contemporary dance, rethinking how bodies in motion cross and redefine multiple spaces and times. On Friday, Jan 25, Chinese visiting scholar Qing Qing will give a presentation on the state of contemporary dance in China. On Thursday, Jan 31, two independent Chinese choreographers, nunu kong (Shanghai) and Dai Jian (New York) will teach workshops and give a public showing of their respective dance-research. A panel involving nunu kong and dance scholar SanSan Kwan will take place on Friday, Feb 1 as part of the conference "Temporal Shifts: Time Across Contemporary Chinese and Taiwanese Art Practices" organized by The Arts Research Center at UC Berkeley. Don't miss this opportunity to engage with Chinese contemporary dance in rich and multiple ways!
