Atelier 320 Upending Excerpt with video of calligraphy by artist Tong Yang-Tze
As part of Cornell's Locally Grown Dance concert 2020, the art of renowned Chinese calligrapher, Tong Yang-Tze was incorporated in this visually hypnotic dance piece. 'Atelier 320: upending', was choreographed by faculty member Jumay Chu with student dancers. The music is by Christopher J. Miller. This video was recorded on March 7, 2020 at the Schwartz Performing Arts Center, Kiplinger Theater.
Tong Yang-Tze was the East Asia Program's 2020 Wong Chai Lok Calligraphy fellow. The Johnson Museum exhibited her 54-meter long calligraphy scroll, 'Immortal at the River'. The exhibit, artist talk with Tong (via Skype), and dance piece was made possible by the generous support of the Taiwan Economic and Cultural Office (TECO), the Wong Chai Lok Calligraphy Fund, The Johnson Museum, and the Cornell Council on the Arts (CCA).
