The Kun-Yang Lin\/Dancers final home season concert takes you on a journey, celebrating the history and legacy of the company.<\/p>\n
“It’s called ‘Echo and Flame: Feng Huang Awakens,'” says Kun-Yang Lin, Founder and Artistic Director of the Kun-Yang Lin\/Dancers.<\/p>\n
“This is your last opportunity to see the ensemble,” says Katie Moore-Derkits, Executive Director of the Kun-Yang Lin\/Dancers.<\/p>\n
“So Feng Huang in Chinese actually is eastern phoenix,” says Lin. “It’s different than a western phoenix, because eastern phoenix never die. But eastern phoenix only sleep, so we waiting for Feng Huang to awake.”<\/p>\n
“The concert is focused on resilience and rebirth,” says Moore-Derkits.<\/p>\n
Lin founded KYL\/D in 1998 in New York City and moved the company to Philadelphia in 2008.<\/p>\n
“People found that the way I move, the way I construct work, has something people interested in. They found it’s a little bit different,” says Lin.<\/p>\n
“There’s a lot of Eastern-inspired influences mixed with contemporary dance,” says Moore-Derkits.<\/p>\n
She says there’s also a “social consciousness” to Lin’s work.<\/p>\n
Lin says most of his work is trying to find “common ground.”<\/p>\n
The eight dancers will perform five works, including two world premieres.<\/p>\n
“Kun-Yang has choreographed over 100 pieces of contemporary dance,” says Moore-Derkits.<\/p>\n
His 101st work is called ‘Spring 101.’ Another one of his pieces is a solo work titled ‘My Home?’<\/p>\n
The final world premiere is called ‘Fire Ritual Dance.’<\/p>\n
“The spirit of the company will live on through the artists,” she says. “Kun-Yang is performing on stage for the first time in over six years.”<\/p>\n
“I feel very proud of what we have accomplished here,” says Lin. “Come and join us to celebrate.”<\/p>\n
The Kun-Yang Lin\/Dancers present “Echo and Flame: Feng Huang Awakens” on March 27 and 28 at Drexel’s Mandell Theater.<\/p>\n
