Abstract

Presented as part of Lincoln Center Festival 2004 at Alice Tully Hall, 1941 Broadway, New York City, July 14-17. It was so quiet during the performance of Shen Wei Dance Arts at Alice Tully Hall that the proverbial pin dropping would have been like a thunderclap. Peace and serenity laced the seemingly effortless choreography, yet there was plenty of action from the dancers, all carefully pushing, pulling, shaping, and carrying out Shen Wei's considerable ideas. In the first part of "Connect Transfer," the dancers shape themselves into sculpted pieces with slow, deliberate placing of their limbs, more like the vintage Sankai Juku or Eiko & Koma.
