Backed by three dancers from her troupe, Gaoyan Jinzi describes dance as a path to freedom, and discusses the ways in which Chinese dance is reinventing itself.
About the Speaker
Gaoyan Jinzi (高艳津子) is the artistic director of the Beijing Modern Dance Company, which she joined after graduating from the Department of Modern Dance Choreography of the Beijing Dance Academy in 1995. Her work stems out of the mysterious nature of energy, breaking conventional boundaries between tradition and modernity, East and West. Critics have given her unique style international attention since 2004, described as having “strong oriental flavor, but a very dynamic stage show that goes beyond the world of imagination.”
