Text Box: At this time of increased globalization, cultures are invades and changed. Elements of the tradition are picked apart and re-mixed into trading commodities. But Nai-Ni Chen recognized that true innovation must come from a deep understanding of past. For 20 years, she has been dedicated to making dances that brings the audience across time and cultural boundaries. Today, the Nai-Ni Chen Dance Company has built a path that connects tradition and innovation. Text Box: Some have asked me: What is so different about Nai-Ni Chen Dance Company? I always invite these people to come see our next concert to witness the power of dance. But, for those who could not come, I did not give them a good answer. I did not know how to express it in words. On July, Explore Dance and Dancers Responding to Aids invited Nai-Ni Chen to teach a group of talented high school students traditional Chinese dance movement, and present her contemporary dance the next evening. The students experienced the spiritual beauty of the Chinese dance tradition as Nai-Ni moved and explained, and they saw how the essence of this beauty is incorporated into Nai-Ni's contemporary creations. They understood that in thie company, the spirit of the dance is alive. They learned that all of us share a common root and it will be manifested in their lives as they grow. Text Box: As the a company that keeps tradition alive while developing new and contemporary dances, we are weaving an unbroken thread, connecting past, present and the future. Join us - share in this spirit of dance! Andy Chiang Executive Director Text Box: In the Spirit of Dance
