Gu Jiani Chinese Contemporary Dance Residency: Artist Reception & Talk
An Introduction to Gu Jiani’s Right & Left
Emily Wilcox, U-M will speak.
Gender and female sexuality in Chinese contemporary dance is often constructed in a way that reinforces patriarchal and heterosexual social norms. Through a comparison with Wang Mei’s 2002 Thunder and Rain, this talk will discuss ways in which Gu Jiani’s work Right & Left disrupts such norms and offers a new approach to the representation of women’s bodies through dance.
The talk will last approximately 40 minutes and will be followed by 20 minute Q&A.
