WANG Qizheng

Grants

To conduct targeted research in choreography with the aim of building a framework for stage arts that responds to contemporary societal issues. Wang, who is a deputy director of the renowned Shanghai Dance Theater, will immerse himself in New York’s diverse cultural environment and expand his artistic vocabulary through visits to theaters, museums, archives, and cultural institutions, as well as by attending workshops and interdisciplinary discussions. He will connect with artists, scholars, and curators from various fields to exchange perspectives on choreography, performance, and cross-disciplinary creation, to better understand how artistic languages merge in practice. Wang hopes this experience will build an open, cross-disciplinary mindset that strengthens his creative practice and theoretical research, and that the fellowship will foster cross-cultural dialogue that contributes to the broader development of contemporary dance and stage arts.
