"delicately choreographed, hypnotic work involving a cross-cultural ensemble...enthusiastically received by audiences..."
- Full Tilt Program, The Arts Centre, Victoria
Redspan Dance Company aims to span the divide between traditional Chinese and modern western art-forms. Artistic Director Feng Feng Wang has created a collaborative environment for dancers and artists from both Asian and Western cultures and has developed an original character and style to express a complex and subtle aesthetic.
These three works feature six dancers and original music. White Fan is a solo piece based on forbidden love using modern dance techniques to recreate the traditional Chinese fan dance with unique and spellbinding results. In Xing, five dancers explore the circulation between the five traditional Chinese “Taoism” elements
of wood, fire, earth, water, and metal, while in The Treasure two dancers investigate the personal aspects of yin and yang within an intimate relationship.
Red Span Dance Company’s beauty is expressed through intimacy, elegance, simplicity and abstract grace, and should not be missed.
Artistic Director/Choreography Feng Feng Wang, Performers Nicholas Somerville, Suhaili Micheline, Ahmad Kamil, Tony Nyugen, Yi Zhang, Composer/Musician Gus MacMillan, Lighting Designer Nicole Broesder.
