Ink 1 is the first section of the longer dance work, Ink, snow. Dancing to vocals by Zhang Xiaonong, the dancer employs gestures from Han-Tang classical Chinese dance, which was revived in the late 20th century by Professor Sun Ying of the Beijintg Dance Academy.This dance depicts the spirit of a cultivated scholar in ancient China. Poetry, music, dance and singing wre once integrated in China as a single art form.
