The Playground NYC allows dancers to experience various choreographic styles and ideas, engage with a new community of dancers, and gather resourceful information and inspiration from the array of choreographers involved. In turn, established choreographers are paid for their creative investigations, are given free space to explore new movement with professional dancers, and are provided with the opportunity to establish relationships with new dancers and fellow choreographers.  

 

Class description:

Tsai Hsi Hung’s classes combine her passion for contemporary dance and the visual arts.  She incorporates her painting techniques into the choreography and encourages each dancer to embrace his or her own fluidity of movement.  Hung has a strong background in traditional techniques such as ballet, martial arts, and Taiwanese dance.  Her classes use these styles as a foundation.
