The newest work from modern dancer Hou Ying, “Jie” is about blindness and aimlessness, a state of being ignorant of discovering the world. For Hou Ying, this process requires becoming re-acquainted with the body and senses, taking her new work of “Jie” as the example.

Guest: Hou Ying (modern dance choreographer)

Hou Ying, modern dance choreographer, was named best dancer of the year by the New York Times in 2004. She devoted herself to the study and promotion of improv dance. Her name has appeared in New York Times for 3 times. She is said to be the Kafka of dance. Her dance is “like the clip of life, rarely making legends; getting rid of all the unnecessary motions, it looks calm, as if the characters in the work won’t be shaken by the trend however the world changes”.
