“Folding” di Shen Wei Dance Arts

[@LavittoriadiLuka]

Hi! There seems to be a mistake with the credits at the end. It reads John Turner as the composer for the final piece that's played in this clip, but that piece is actually The Last Sleep of the Virgin by John Tavener. That being said, this is pretty phenomenal!

It's beautiful to see how his cultural heritage gets such a modern twist. The small geisha-like steps and bows, the thick robe-like skirts that are rigid and folded over and over, the lack of personal identity (all are part of a group, be it black or red and with bold heads).

Otherworldly, mesmerizing contemporary dance. My sci-fi brain is pointing me to what dance might look like on other planets.

Incredible!

Passionate is a lot 🤩✨👏👏👏

[@rene-parizh]

J'ai vu cette pièce à Genève il y a très longtemps. Elle m'avait marqué !

[@kearsej]

I love this work

[@robynkk5786]

My insight: you just feel the calm and enjoy the visual in this most unusal performance. Shen Wei said he always enjoyed folding things. It is so different from Western dance.

they be lookin like they just came from Area 51

[@HelenaPedroso]

Sadness coming from their faces and quiet despair. A beautiful dance anyway.

[@cameronward1974]

what a strange way way to clean the floor with the shirts.

You don't have to understand, abstract art like contemporary dance, should show you something that maybe you already have inside, doesn't have to be literally. If you like art, then you are (supously) enough sensible to understand more than only with your brain, and more than with only words.. I'd really like it, I saw them in Mexico, was like a samadhi meditation... Thank you Shen Wei Company..
