Yu
UW–Madison’s Jin-Wen Yu, a professor in the School of Education’s Dance Department, will present “Non-Ordinary,” a concert of contemporary, cross-cultural, cutting-edge dance, on April 10-11 in Taipei, Taiwan. The concert is shared with emerging Taiwanese choreographer Chien-Kuei Chang, featuring 10 outstanding Taiwanese professional dancers.
Yu will present a sextet, titled “Non-Ordinary Position,” that explores the idea of multiple viewing perspectives through mobile seating arrangements. In different sections of the dance, the audience’s seating is set up in unexpected formations, which is meant to challenge the traditional relationship between the audience and the performer. The intent is to engage the audience to actively participate in the concert by deciding which dance they would like to see.
