The Contemporary Dance Festival celebrates its 20th showcase of East Asia’s juiciest contemporary dance with three ensemble pieces.
From Japan, Where we were born, choreographed by Ruri Mito and performed by ensemble Co. Ruri Mito, weaves and unravels delicately and intricately connected dancers, creating one kaleidoscopic body.
From Taiwan, …and, or…, choreographed by I-Ling Liu, a former dancer with Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, features two dancers whose relationship rapidly shifts through delicate and sharp movements in a non-music/sound environment.
And, from South Korea, Trivial Perfection, choreographed and performed by Dae-ho Lee with ensemble C.Sense, builds complex shapes in this crescendoing, exuberant piece combining modern dance, hip-hop and martial arts.
