As If to Nothing Dunstan Playhouse  Thurs 22 Sept, Fri 23 Sept & Sat 24 Sept at 7.30Pm Hong Kong  Australian Premiere AS IF TO NOTHING DUNSTAN PLAYHOUSE THURS 22 SEPT, FRI 23 SEPT & SAT 24 SEPT AT 7.30PM HONG KONG AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE City contemporary dance company As If To Nothing is a sublime examination of modernity, unique rhythms and psychological tension. Fourteen of Hong Kong’s best contemporary dancers delve into a multimedia landscape of memory, déjà vu and sensory distortion. Technically brilliant, fast-paced high-octane action. A stunning masterpiece. “The choreography is supremely kinetic, with endlessly flowing movement that requires the dancers to contort every part of their bodies” – South China Morning Post, Hong Kong “a cutting edge work” – Global Times, Beijing “The great success of the performance is due above all to the great ensemble work of the dancers, wonderful interpreters, and the flawless gears of this machine that is precise yet so human: as effective in the moments of the soloists as in the couples or groups, defying leadership and relying upon one another in intense collaboration” – Krapp’s Last Post, Italy CHOREOGRAPHY & SET DESIGN BY Sang Jijia ARTISTIC DIRECTOR Willy Tsao MUSIC COMPOSED & PERFORMED BY Dickson Dee ORIGINAL LIGHTING DESIGN BY Goh Boon Ann COSTUME DESIGN BY Charfi Hung VIDEO ARTIST Adrian Yeung ASSISTANT ARTISTIC DIRECTOR Ringo Chan MANAGING DIRECTOR Raymond Wong TECHNICAL DIRECTOR Anther Lam EXECUTIVE LIGHTING DESIGN BY Low Shee Hoe DANCERS Bobo Lai, Peggy Lam, Noel Pong, Shirley Lok, Qiao Yang, Ivan Chan, Tseky Tse, Kelvin Mak, Terry Tsang, Natalie Mak, Malvina Tam, Dominic Wong, Lee Ka-ki and Bruce Wong SANG JIJIA An ethnic Tibetan born in Gansu, Sang Jijia studied at the Beijing Central University for Nationalities and was a dancer with Guangdong Modern Dance Company (GMDC) from 1993 to 1998.

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Dancing Cross-Cultural Misunderstandings
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Dancing Cross-cultural Misunderstandings: The American Dance Festival in China’s New Era A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance by Fangfei Miao 2019 © Copyright by Fangfei Miao 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Dancing Cross-cultural Misunderstandings: The American Dance Festival in China’s New Era by Fangfei Miao Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance University of California, Los Angeles, 2019 Professor Susan Leigh Foster, Chair This dissertation explores the embodiment of cross-cultural misunderstandings in a key transitional period in modern China—the late 1980s, during the country’s economic reformation and cultural opening to the West after the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976). From 1987 to 1991, teachers from the American Dance Festival (ADF), at the invitation of the Guangdong (Canton) Dance School, trained the first group of professional modern dancers in China, known as the “Guangdong Modern Dance Experimental Program,” profoundly altering the history of Chinese modern dance in the New Era (1978–). Based on this program, China established its first modern dance company in 1992—the Guangdong Modern Dance Company. Under the guidance of ADF teachers, Chinese students created two new genres of Chinese modern dance that differed from the previous realism style. Some of ii the students later became internationally acclaimed artists—Shen Wei, Jin Xing, and Wang Mei. Contesting existing accounts of the Guangdong program as a complete success in America’s and China’s dance histories, this dissertation instead argues that misunderstandings and miscommunications repeatedly occurred in both directions throughout this corporeal exchange.

    CAROLINA PERFORMING ARTS 2010/11 BeijingDance/LDTX Tuesday & Wednesday, April 12 & 13 at 7:30pm carolina performing arts 10/11 1 carolina performing arts 10/11 3 Dear Friends For the last several months, we at Carolina Performing Arts have been working to finalize the schedule for our 2011-12 season. Every year, I find this process exhilarating and challenging, rewarding and frustrating. Our 2010-11 season has been filled with performances from legendary, established artists such as Yo-Yo Ma, Chick Corea and McCoy Tyner, as well as emerging voices like Nicola Benedetti, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui (with his Sutra), and the young virtuosi who make up Gidon Kremer’s Kremerata Baltica. And there is much more to come in these last months. As we work to craft our new season, selecting works that engage, delight and enliven our 2010/11 SEASON audiences, I am constantly reminded of the budgetary considerations that make curating a season so difficult. As you probably know, the costs associated with bringing the caliber of art we have all come to expect from this series far exceed the revenue brought in from ticket sales alone. As we handpick each performance, I am constantly forced to consider cost, to weigh our curatorial mission against our bottom line, to ask myself, “Can we afford to bring this work to our audiences?” Many exciting artists do not make the cut. All told, ticket sales make up about 45% of the money needed to keep Carolina Performing Arts running. In a surrealist thought experiment, my colleagues in development and I often wonder what our season would look like at 45%.
