SHENG interprets in a triple perspectives of the concept of life, livelihood, and living form, and transcends beyond emotions, history, individuality, storylines and traditions. Instead, it strives to build an eternal, formalized, universal and natural world of aesthetics, showing the fusion as well as conflicts between man and nature. SHENG is based on the technique of “MiaoSheng” that includes points, stops, plain, cut, contraction, partial, flowing, mobile, misposition, geometrical journey. It blends in elements of “Wu Nuo dance” from ancient Chinese culture and Chinese folk dance.
This multi-cultural aspect of the piece presents its philosophical thinking and compatibility, breaking away from conventional dance vocabulary. The work demonstrates the exploratory aspects of body texture, motion aesthetics and the native energy of life itself.
