“A pacesetter with a difference.” That’s how the New York Times characterizes this company from Guangdong. Founded in 1992, the troupe became the first contemporary dance theatre on the Chinese mainland.
The company is based in Guangzhou, one of the most rapidly developing cities in the country, where traditional Chinese culture and the ideas of contemporary globalization coexist harmoniously. It is in this syncretic environment that the company has evolved, attracting ever more talented and daring choreographers whose unique works reflect the whole gamut of perspectives on the art of dance.
The Guangdong Modern Dance Company has regularly presented its repertoire at International festivals, and its performances have gained rave revues and positive feedback from critics and audiences all over the world.
