"Juxtapose" compares how different dancers interpret classical Chinese dance under the combined influence of Chinese and Western cultural backgrounds. As the dancers grow into their art and become more experienced, their understanding and interpretation of Chinese dance will also change. Juxtapose makes it clear that after millennia of a traditional, insular approach, classical Chinese dance is going through a profound change that is reflective of our modern world’s multicultural nature.
