Artists Series
Yu Wei Chinese Dance Collection
Wednesday, September 24, 2008
Council Fire Room, Davies Center | 7:30 P.M.
"Solo dance does not mean one person
dancing
but a focus on a particular aspect of dance."
- Zhang Ke, Dance Master
Yu Wei began creating her dance collection in Beijing
in 1992 under the direction of nationally known dance master Zhang Ke. Based on Chinese culture and history and inspired by nature, Yu Wei’s choreography is drawn from the styles of Chinese traditional, classical, folk, Western ballet and modern dance.
She incorporates costumes, short films and narration in a multimedia presentation designed to leave audience members with a greater understanding of each dance, as well as the dancer’s life story and
Chinese culture. Yu Wei’s classical training and grace make her dance art a cultural treasure.

Ms. Wei is participating in a variety of residency and reception activities; call 715.836.2787 for information.
The Yu Wei Chinese Dance Collection performance is supported by
the
Performing Arts Fund, a program of Arts Midwest funded by the National Endowment for the Arts,
which believes that a great nation deserves great art, with additional contributions from
the Wisconsin Arts Board, General Mills Foundation, and Land O’Lakes Foundation.
