BRIEF INTRODUCTION

Shen Wei (born 1968) is an artist based in New York City. Widely recognized for his defining vision of an intercultural and interdisciplinary mode of movementbased performance, Shen Wei creates original works that employ an assortment of media elements, including dance, painting, sculpture, and video. For each dance and opera work made with his company, Shen Wei also creates the sets, costumes, and make-up designs. In the past decade, he has created 17 dance pieces with his dance company, had two solo painting exhibitions, and has toured extensively across five continents. Among Shen Wei's well know pieces are Near the Terrace Part I and Part II (2000, 2001), Folding (2000), Rite of Spring (2003), Connect Transfer (2004), and Re-Triptych (2009). Frequently, critics have commented on his innovative blend of Asian and Western sensibilities.

In 2008, Shen Wei was invited as a schemer of the director team and commissioned to choreograph the scroll segment of the Opening Ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. In October 2010, his company presented a series of 'guerrilla public performances' in various locations throughout New York City. The vignettes consisted of excerpts from Re-(III), each of which were adapted for the particular space. Prior to this, Shen Wei created a site-specific response piece to Ernesto Neto's installation, Anthropodino, at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City. Dancers and audience members moved within the collective space of Neto's immersive sculpture.
