THIS & THAT / 这个那个

Room 2 Manoeuvre Artisitic Director, Tony Mills, spent 3 weeks in Shanghai working with local dancers to create a short dance work supported by Creative Scotland and The British Council. After a pervious visit in 2010, a relationship was established between composer, photographer and art space curator Tomaz Chow. The idea was that R2M would return to Shanghai in collaboration with Tomaz. This resulted in THIS & THAT / 这个那个. Local dancers Alex Li Xiang and Uma Yang Jing got involved in a new development process of improvisation, hip hop and partnering. The work was shown at the Wu Jiao Chang 800 Art Space, Shanghai, China in July 2011. R2M is now researching opportunities to develope the work in Europe and China. Watch this space...
