ICONS INSPIRE
Featured Choreographer of the Month
Chinese-American choreographer Yin Yue has been experimenting with a new choreographic approach. Her FoCo technique connects the core elements of Nature with the core elements of dance by fusing the Earth's forces with the body's energy. Sources from elemental actions, such as flow, pulse, and grounding, are transformed to serve as useful tools for inventive choreography. Human qualities such as desire, awareness, and adaptation are also rooted in Nature and therefore become organic principles for creating dance. Yin Yue spoke candidly with us about the current stage of her artistic investigations.

WHO INSPIRES YOU AND WHY?
Your Answer?...CLICK HERE - Truly B. - I am inspired by my children and their ability to create without caring about how it is received. They create movement from the heart; their joy in dance is utterly contagious!
- Asami S. - I am inspired by everyday life experience. Overhearing conversations on the bus or one sentence that stood out from the book I was reading.
- Sara S. - I find myself very inspired by a great piece of music, a good story- something exciting, mysterious and suspenseful - can be a source of inspiration.
