Work

Intersection

Inspired by the interweaving fine, straight lines and geometrical space created in the paintings of Liu Wentao, a renowned contemporary Chinese visual artist and painter, the choreographer intends to explore the concept of “dots-lines-planes” through dancers’ bodies, movement, interconnections and space from a Chinese philosophical point of view.

In Intersection, the ceaseless interchanging between light, space, stillness and motion demonstrates a combined dialectical relationship between “nothing/absence” and “something/presence”, thus reflecting the emotional and physical distance between two individuals in a calm and peaceful state of mind.
