Eastern influences are in the spotlight this weekend in a UW-Madison dance concert that melds traditional Indian, Taiwanese and Chinese movement and music.
“Refiguring A/musing” features the choreography of UW Dance Program Chairman Jin-Wen Yu, who is Taiwanese, and Indian guest artist Parul Shah, a dance professor at Maharaja Sayajirao University in Baroda, India. Yu and Shah both dance in the program, joined intermittently by two dozen UW student dancers and a handful of local residents who practice Tai Chi, a form of Chinese martial arts.
