Quadrille is curated by Willy TSAO, artistic director of BeijingDance/LDTX. 

The program is of lecture and dance combination format to take the audience 

into the mysterious and magnificent world of modern dance. 


The three main attributes of modern dance: Preserving personality, encouraging 

creativity and following current times, are quite different from our usual perspectives 

on dance enjoyment, as lots of audience would say they don’t understand what 

this modern dance is trying to say, don’t understand. Quadrille leverages on four 

different channels to lead the audience into the enjoyment of modern dance. From 

"body resonance", "spiritual perception", "logical reading" to "Worldly traveling", 

with the dancers’ performance of excerpts of Arc, Three Blank, Bird Song and Plaza 

Dance 1.0, demonstrating the four different channels heading into the difference dance scenary.

Arc (excerpt)

Arc may be static curved line, and can also be a kaleidoscopic

tracks of life. It may appear as if it is deviating from one's path

of life, but no one can run away from one's destiny.

Three Blank Episodes


Through huddling of bodies, we see the vastness in space; through 

flowing of energy, we sense the stillness of time, discovering the pureness. 


This section reflects choreographer’s creative thinking, re-examining the 

relationship between body movements and space, and time and the substance within.

Bird song


Bird Song was first performed by the City Contemporary DanceCompany 

(CCDC) in 1990, and was re-staged by Youth Dance Company of the 

Beijing Dance Academy Youth Group in 1992. In that same year, it became 

the debut performance of the Guangdong Experimental Modern Dance 

Group. The piece consists of six chapters: Song of the CanyonSong of 

the Mountainong of the PlainsSong of the River, Song of the Waterfall 

and ong of the Sky. Bird Song, under the imagery approach, explores the 

journey of mankind, going from the realm of necessity to freedom.
