DESCRIPTION:Jul 17-25\, 2026\nModern dance only took root in China on the c
 usp of the 21st century\, after much American intervention. By then\, mode
 rn dance had become postmodern\, shedding its founding creed of idiosyncra
 tic individualism for cultural borrowings and collaboration. So Shen Wei
 —a founding member of Guangdong Modern Dance Company\, the first of its 
 kind in China—fits right in. For this joint commission by the Guangdong 
 troupe and the American Dance Festival\, which ushered the Chinese company
  into being 35 years ago\, Shen presents choreography as calligraphy. The 
 dancers sprawl on the floor and ribbon their limbs to spread the globs of 
 paint beneath them. They have done this before for Shen\, but the colors w
 eren’t so bright nor did the dancers move with such willful abandon\, li
 ke the scrawls of the most headstrong and drunk of Chinese scroll-poets. M
 indscape will have its Stateside premiere where Shen first studied modern 
 dance\, at the American Dance Festival. In New York\, the dance is part of
  Lincoln Center’s free\, outdoors\, and enticing Chinese Arts Week.
