About the Artists:
Hsiao-Wei and Hsiao-Ting Hsieh, Choreographers/Dancers from Taiwan, are former students majoring in Medical Technology in Taipei Medical University and Veterinary in National Taiwan University. Their strong interest in dance led them to study at LABAN (UK) and Martha Graham School (USA) for 5 years. They received their Certificate of Completion Teacher Training Program on scholarship at Martha Graham School in 2011. Throughout their studies, Hsiao-wei and Hsiao-ting started to build choreographic repertory. They have presented their work at the Bonnie Bird Theatre in London, and in New York at festivals and showcases such as New Steps Series, 60X60 Dance, Graham II Spring Season, WAXworks, Passport to Taiwan, Queen Arts Express, NYC10 and Astoria Dance Festival. They had their own evening-length work “City Impression Series No. 1” at Manhattan Movement & Arts Center in 2012. They have collaborated with other artists and choreographers, including Purring Tiger Dance Company, “MIZARU” presents in Tribeca Performing Arts Center, “Turn Around The Back” with artist Jia-Jen Lin at tamtamArt in Berlin, Germany, “InAction” with French portrait photographer Sylvain Guenot and “Merge” Video/Interactive Art+Dance at Triskelion Arts. Recently, they are both residency artists at The Field’s Far Residency and TOPAZ ARTS in 2013.
