Literature finds its feet in ballet workshop

By Chen Nan | China Daily | Updated: 2014-04-18 07:22

Shakespeare's Hamlet, foot-binding in feudal society and a doll maker from a Chinese fairy tale will all be interpreted in dances by three young choreographers from the National Ballet of China during its annual workshop.

Launched in 2010 by NBC, the workshop has a different theme every year, which aims to inspire and nurture China's young dancers and choreographers. This year, the theme is open, but the three young choreographers - Fei Bo, Zhang Zhenxin and Wang Sizheng - have all chosen to interpret works of literature. Fei and Zhang have decided to pay tribute to the classics.

"I lose myself in whatever dance I am choreographing," says Fei, who describes his Hamlet ballet as a clash of emotions and cultures.
