Naishi Wang
Naishi Wang is a dance artist based in Toronto. Born in Changchun, China. At age 11 years old, he began with Chinese Classical dances, Chinese folk dances and Ballet training at Jilin College of Art. In 2004, he moved to Canada and joined Toronto Dance Theatre, where he was active as a full-time company member for nine years. Since 2015, the award-winning performer has been inspired to work as an independent choreographer. Wang shares in the belief that performing arts create imaginary perspectives that expand what dance can be in the 21st century. His rigorous practice themed on intertwined approaches from “communication” to “translation” in a somatic and conceptual point of view. Desire and honesty are a huge part of his works, expressed through repetition, contortions, waving, impulsion, and shaking. Bringing him to question how to open up the realm of perceptions.
