THE WINDLESS DOMAIN – DANCES

THE WINDLESS DOMAIN – DANCES (12/1/13) was powerfully expressive, world-class, physical, emotional, spiritual art…. Complex, controlled, and elegant “No Name” flowed as smoothly as a great Jackson Pollack painting. Seven dancers courageously reached the brilliance of Yang Ming-Lung’s intricate, intimate choreography. (Leung Kim-Fung, Chen Yi-Han, Seu Tu Ming-Hsuen, Wu Jyun-Jhe, Chen Liang Fen, Lee Yi Qi, Yeh Yun)….“Awakening in a Dream,” choreographed by Mui Cheuk-Yin, visualized the elegance, pain and passion of Pai Hsien-yung. ….Superb Hong Kong dancer/choreographer Leung Kim-Fung transformed the cool brilliance of Bach into Asian passion with inspired movements and sequences….Three recent Taipei National University of the Arts (Taiwan)  student presentations in theatre (Fassbinder), performance art (creative director Lin Chin-Hua and 9 others from the Film and Theatre Departments), and The Windless Domain (from the transcendent Dance Department), prove that brilliant, unique, high professional-level work can be done in a university. Personal vision and extraordinary commitment are required.
