Susan Brender interviews Nai Ni Chen on today's V for Vitality:
Nai-Ni Chen comes from a rich dance tradition. She was a renowned traditional dancer in the Republic of China and served on several ambassadorial culture missions to nineteen countries around the world. An early member of the Cloud Gate Dance Theater in Taiwan, she graduated from the Chinese Cultural University in 1982 and came to America to seek her own voice in the world of contemporary dance. Since the inception of her Company in 1988, Ms. Chen has created a wide-ranging repertory, from dances that originated thousands of years ago to highly abstract, modern works.
