Shen Wei Dance Arts

Wed 17 - Sat 20 Oct 2007 19:45

Barbican Centre, London, United Kingdom

Connect Transfer reveals Shen Wei's fascination with the transfer of energy between one body and another as they encounter each other on stage. Creating striking architectural and sculptural shapes, the dancers interact in an inventive and daring choreography.

As they dance, they paint their own movements onto a giant white canvas, bringing the stage alive with another dimension. The unique painted floor covering reveals the patterns of the dance in a vivid new light, giving visual permanence to the usually fleeting movements. A live accompaniment is performed by renowned pianist Stephen Gosling.

Chinese-born Shen Wei trained as a dancer, choreographer, painter and designer. His company is founded on the fusion of different art forms. Its multi-layered works are a remarkable hybrid of western and eastern influences.

‘An ingenious synthesis of dance, music and visual art.’ The New York Times
