About the Work:
Zhang’s new evening-length work, Degrees of Freedom, explores the concept of “self-reliance” within a tediously set choreographic structure. The piece begins with a solo body inquiring in task-based movement. Henry David Thoreau’s writing on the duty of civil disobedience in Walden inspires the work to expand into a trio experimenting with physical and social limitations of each individual. The dancers move on the premise of gravity and exist beyond the color of their skin. Degrees of Freedom begins the search for a structure that can allow individual free will to manifest, interact and disobey. Earlier stages of this work have been supported by the Queens Council on the Arts’ Independent Artist Grant.
