Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan - Wind Shadow

6 - 10 Oct 2009 Barbican Theatre, London http://www.barbican.org.uk/theatre/event-detail.asp?ID=9472 Choreographic genius Lin Hwai-Min has created a contemporary dance work that makes shadows come alive. Joining forces with leading Chinese visual artist Cai Guo-Qiang, Wind Shadow is a study of motion created through the monochromatic palettes of black and white and the use of light and shade. Set to a haunting soundscape, the dancers capture the intangible quality of the wind and the variable structure of shadows. Projections of Cais gunpowder drawings merge into silhouettes and form a moving art installation within which the dancers engage.
