RTP-area local music and culture

[Christa Wessel <christa AT singintomymouth.com>]

if you've got some time wednesday night, i urge you to go see "shen wei 
dance arts" (http://www.shenweidancearts.org/) performing in reynolds 
theater at duke. [tickets: http://events.duke.edu/box_office/]

"...a dreamlike otherworld of intense movement that falls somewhere 
between modern dance, performance art, painting, and sculpture."

the hour-long work focuses on connections between dancers... 
connections between music and dance... connections between dance and 
other art forms (specifically painting).  connections and transference.

it sounds heady --and i suppose in some sense it is (music by ligeti 
and xenakis)-- but i left the theater with a distinct sense of 
satisfaction, having seen something thoroughly complete and fulfilling.

you'll see some beautiful, spiraling, flowing movement alongside 
jittery, jerky jumping.  but you'll also see art created 
-multidimensionally- before your eyes.

go go go.
