Constantly on the Move
The Beijing LDTX Modern Dance Company is constantly creating new works and will be showing off two new pieces - See and Whispering Wind - this Saturday, at Haidian Theater.
The performances are part of the Dance Now Beijing Series, which will provide a chance for young choreographers to work on experimental concepts.
See choreographer Liu Bin is known for his musical sensibilities and the freedom of movement of his dancers.
This time he has found inspiration in the shape of the mysterious character "bu" which means divination.
When the lights go up, 12 dancers, in white uniforms, red hats and socks, swing their bodies around like flames.
"There is a place in the mind without the concept of time and space, no stop, no end it is an everlasting road, and I cannot cease or release it, I will simply wallow in it," Liu says.
Yao ethnic minority dancer Liu Yifeng has choreographed Whispering Wind. After graduating from Central University of Nationalities, as a visiting artist, Liu studied modern dance in Japan where he was able to concentrate on Yao indigenous and contemporary dance.
The set of Whispering Wind consists of huge red pieces of cloth, signifying the shifting winds that leave the dancers straddling two worlds.
Liu Yifeng's choreography is full of sleek movement and this is accented by flowing melodies.
