The Way of Five - Earth Choreography: Nai-Ni Chen Music: Gerald Chenoweth Lighting Design: Costumes:
Nai-Ni Chen This dance is the result of Nai-Ni Chen’s
third
exploration of the ancient Chinese theory that the
cycles of creation and destruction correspond to the ever-changing
phenomena of
nature. The “Five” refers to the five elements: Wood, Water, Fire,
Metal, and
Earth. Each element, as part of the forces of nature,
creates another
in harmony and destroys another in conflict.
This exploration is focused on the element Earth.
