Through the baptism of storms, the Eagle is born.

The skies clear, and the Eagle soars above-- his wings afloat with knowledge and reflection.

Zi Wei, choreographed this mesmerizing piece. Growing up on the prairie, he spent his childhood 

inspired and energized by the soaring eagles. After years of performing "The Eagle” he finally completed

the newest version in 2007. This work is a crisp, pure and simple escape. Zi Wei reveals a distinct voice

using his highly personalized movement.
