Lily Cai Dance Company

Performances of virtuosity, dazzling theatricality and classical inspiration are at the heart of Lily Cai Dance Company, who presents the world premiere of Shanghai Women. The work explores the evolution of the complex Shanghai women from matriarchs of the distant long past to today’s perception as affluent, sophisticated, and connected to the rest of the world.

Xing is a new chapter in Chinese fan dance drawing from the different fan dances across the regions of China. Lily Cai’s choreography transforms the traditional styles into sharp, edgy, contemporary movement.

The company also brings back an audience favorite, Silk CascadeSilk Cascade is inspired by the action paintings of Jackson Pollock. It is Cai’s revolutionary take on traditional Chinese ribbon dancing, where the stage is layered with the movements and vivid colors of nearly 200 ribbons.
