CSIAF Commissioned Work: Martial Art in Dance by Zhao Liang ART

Zhao Liang is highly open to new inspirations and ideas and then weave them into his well-designed storyline. Besides, he has attracted a team of outstanding artists. Through literary allusions, seamless emotional connection and flowing performances, he blends fragments of classical stories into a multi-sensory cultural innovation. Surreal as they are, the dance shows contain layers of meanings and use metaphors to present universal truths. As a result, they resonate with the essence of our being, leading to spiritual insights beyond perception.

In comparison to the traditional way of dance presentations, “neo scene setting” in Zhao Liang’s art works reflects his creative insights into the interaction between dance performances and their surrounding environment. By expanding the dance scene, he demonstrates an interdisciplinary application of modern arts. The shows use eastern aesthetics as a vehicle to catalyze the renaissance of traditional Chinese culture in the modern context.
