Awakening Truth Bound | Introspection Luminescence | Shadowforce TRUTH BOUND (2019) Truth Bound was developed during a stay in Trier, Germany, in response to today‘s crisis of faith and trust. To find clarity, the seeker of truth has to look deeper below the surface to discover the core. To make this dance, Nai-Ni Chen created movements with dancers that used improvisation and her background in traditional Chinese theater movement and various martial arts styles.
INTROSPECTION (2019) Usually, dancers on stage are lit by external lights. In this dance, the dancers illuminate each other from different perspectives and each other to look deeper into their own identity.
The dance uses flashlights and shadows to examine the identity problems from different perspectives.
LUMINESCENCE (PREMIERE) We find refuge with the grace, magic and wonder of nature. With this dance, the choreographer wants to remind us that Humans coexist with other life forms on earth. Discovering the beauty of nature and respecting and protecting the environment is essential.
SHADOWFORCE (PREMIERE) We yawn in isolation after connecting with others.
