SUMMARY:Wen Wei Dance at Venables Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Being born at a heated time of gender discourse\, this work raises the platform of choreographing to five female performers. The creative process involves dialogues between Ying Yun's dancers and artistic director Wen Wei Wang\, with the aim to translate their stories into movement.\n\nYing Yun is the name of Wang's mother\, who passed away four years ago from ovarian cancer. A significant influence on him becoming an artist\, Wang dedicates the new creation to her and engages the dancers to interpret the story\, and in turn share their intersectional experiences.\n\nAurally\, the piece will focus on silence and the breathing of the dancers\, but will also feature remixes of Bach compositions with an electroacoustic score. The minimalist sound design with a focus on the dancers' breathing will allow the piece to focus on the dancers and their expression of the work's subject.\n\nTICKETS - Adults $35\, Students $20\n\nPRESS\n\n"Wen Wei Dance's Ying Yun finds beauty in power" Janet Smith\, review in The Georgia Straight\n\nQ&A: Wen Wei Wang talks about celebrating the power of women in Ying Yun Shawn Conner\, Vancouver Sun\n\n"Ying Yun( ) danced to perfection" Jenna Mazur\, review in SAD Mag \nSee Less
