SUMMARY:Half the Sky - Yin Mei Dance
DESCRIPTION:How does a woman inhabit her own body? How can she claim ownership of it in the shadow of history—if that is even possible? It then extends the inquiry: in what ways can art and movement heal or simply acknowledge all the ghosts that inhabit this body? \nHalf the Sky merges dance\, projection\, and installation art into a choreographic and visual act of reclamation: rescuing the “blank page” from blankness. It’s a laboratory for “becoming”\, where there is room for the unexpected moment to strike through space and time\, leading to the breakthrough of true creative power. Yin Mei explores how the “becoming” of sensation must happen in an unexpected moment\, a moment of silence where the body’s unspoken histories surface. \nThis project is supported by Wuhan Institute of Design and Sciences (WIDS) Jackie Chan Movie and Media College\, Baryshnikov Arts\, Topaz Arts\, Danse Mirage Foundation\, MAP Fund\, and RF CUNY. Half the Sky was a 2024 New England Foundation for the Arts National Dance Project Finalist.
