2024/04/26

National Ballet of China will bring the 14th Ballet Workshop to the audience at Beijing Tianqiao Theater from May 5th to 7th. The 14th Ballet Workshop takes "Riding with the Wind" as the theme. We will have a series of interviews with the creation team. Li Yang, the general director of this year’s Workshop and the choreographer of Rhapsody of the Wilderness, and Liu Xuechen, the choreographer of Moon The Unforgettable Love, will be interviewed first.


According to the interpretation of Li Yang, the theme of this Workshop expresses a state and an attitude of progress in such a good environment as the new era. It is the help of the state, the Company and seniors that has given us such an opportunity to riding with the wind! I have got a lot of support from NBC staff of the front stage and behind the scenes. I am deeply moved by their professionalism, responsible attitude towards their careers and serious attitude towards their work. I hope that in the future, we can conduct more in-depth and long-term cooperation and discussion on the topic of the combination of ballet and Xinjiang dance.



Talking about the Workshop, Liu Xuechen said gratefully, "Thanks to Director Feng Ying for setting up this platform, which provided space for dancers and choreographers who have an intention to create. As a dancer and an observer of life, I am eager to tell and present my understanding of dance, art and life on the stage. "

From May 5th to 7th, let's meet at Beijing Tianqiao Theater to attend the 14th Workshop and feel the youthful dance steps, artistic charm and power of creation!
