“Shen Wei’s singular imagination and brilliant stage craft brings us to strange and wonderous places.” —Washington Post
Hailed by The New York Times as “startlingly imaginative,” Shen Wei Dance Arts creates interdisciplinary, cross-cultural performance for forward-looking audiences. Each work by Artistic Director Shen Wei develops an original dance vocabulary incorporating visual and storytelling elements from the theater, Chinese opera, Eastern philosophy, traditional and contemporary visual art, and sculpture. The result, at turns figurative and abstract, combines performance with strong scenic elements to create dance that the Sydney Herald Sun called, “fascinating fantasy in movement.” For their return to Seattle, Shen Wei Dance Arts will perform Limited States, a piece that received its world premiere in July 2011.
NEW: The Thursday show received this glowing review in the Seattle Times.
