Triskelion Arts presents Chia-Ying Kao

With "Where Your Voices Are," choreographer Chia-Ying Kao presents a multi-disciplinary dance piece that blends movements with multimedia staging and music in collaboration with composer Giacomo Merega. Elaborating on themes of cultural conflict, power struggle, widespread psychological trauma and disruption of daily life, the work explores the evolving dynamics of how personal and national identity are perceived in a globalized society. These performances will be the culmination of a work-in-progress during which the choreographer will engage in workshops with local communities in Brooklyn to promote a critical reflection on identity and political hegemony. This work employs dramatic juxtapositions of Chinese folk dance styles with techniques of contemporary dance, in a broad expressive range from harsh to disarmingly harmonious and interacting with both music and video content.

This project is sponsored, in part, by the Greater New York Arts Development Fund of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, administered by Brooklyn Arts Council (BAC) and in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
