Hip-hop via Taiwan

March 4th, 2010 | By Tessa Cheek | Section: Arts

This Thursday at 8p.m. Grinnell students,faculty and community members gathered for the second of a series of workshops in the Bucksbaum dance studio. Dancers were put through their paces by Chung Li-mei, a Taiwanese dancer with a profoundly diverse, international artisic background. The workshop, which focused on hip-hop also represented a blend of both eastern and western approaches to dance and to movement.
The workshop comes as a series of campus events, like last week’s Butoh class, which have been brought to Grinnell by the Theater and Dance department’s staging of “Flowers of E.”
