China DailyHou Ying's latest work Disappear made its Beijing premiere in July. Modern dancer Hou Ying says creating her latest work Disappear was quite an experience for her, from conception to choreography and rehearsals. Fusing fencing with modern dance, the piece made its Beijing premiere at Tianqiao Performing Arts Center on July 27, as part of the Spring for Chinese Arts Festival. Co-produced by Hou Ying Dance Theater and Ming Contemporary Art Museum, the production invited Austrian musician Cornelius Berkowitz as the composer and Dutch artist Kevin Polak to work with sound design. Unlike her previous works, including Tu Tu and Track, where Hou was very clear about the structure and logic, she couldn't use her previous choreography experience in Disappear and gathered inspiration from observing the dancers' fencing training.
