Photo Flash: TAO Dance Theater Presents 4 & 9 At Sadler's
By: Stephi Wild
Master of minimalist movement Tao Ye founded TAO in 2008. Now famous for their stripped-down forms, the company brings two pieces from its Numerical Series, both featuring music from Tao's regular collaborator, the avant-garde composer Xiao He.
In 4, a quartet move together in perfectly coordinated formation, without ever touching, as if drawn by a magnetic wave.
Tao's latest work, 9, signifies a departure from the previous seven works in the series. A significant number in Chinese culture, representing a cycle of hardship and renewal, nine dancers hide connections within chaos.
