Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan - Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan
Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan is renowned for its spellbinding, spiritual performances, creating works of breathtaking organic beauty.
Choreographer Lin Hwai-min - who created part of Sylvie Guillem and Akram Khan's sublime piece Sacred Monsters at Sadler's Wells last season - has integrated meditation, tai-chi, martial arts and Chinese opera movement with modern dance and ballet, developing a truly unique dance style.
For the acclaimed Cursive: A Trilogy, Lin Hwai-min draws on the essence and aesthetics of the ancient art of Chinese calligraphy, as the dancers embody the flow of energy embedded in the strokes of the brush and the shades of the ink.
- "A control and articulation that verges on the superhuman"
- CHICAGO SUNDAY TIMES
Wild Cursive is the final part in this trilogy and explores the idea of spontaneity.Vast scrolls of paper are unfurled on the stage and streams of ink are poured over them, creating a spectacular 'installation in progress'. The seeping ink forms abstract patterns as the dancers display their trademark strength, fluidity, control and mesmerising movement.
