 About the Program:

Embrace unveils memories of a month-long adventure through South America. On this journey, choreographer Ginny Ching-Yin Lo, explored the passion of Tango, the duality of youthful exuberance even in the presence of adversity, reminiscence of her own mother, and empowering voices still to be heard.

Entwined embodies the curiosity and passion of Tango in Buenos Aires, Argentina, inviting us to embrace the beauty of connection. 

River Squalor shifts our focus to the joy of life, as seen through the eyes of local children in Manaus, Brazil, reminding us that happiness is a mindset.  

Amalgam of Emotions offers heartfelt tribute to the celebration of life, showcasing the power of love and remembrance across Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Chicago, honoring our loved ones close or afar. 

Voices empowers us to transcend the barriers of our understanding and misconceptions of others. Being heard allows us to soar beyond mere agreements and foster genuine connections.  Voices is partially supported by the Evanston Arts Council Cultural Fund Grant.

About Identity Performing Arts:

Identity is a not-for-profit organization established in 2016 by founder and artistic director, Ginny Ching-Yin Lo, focused on teaching dance to the underserved community and creating independent dance projects. Lo has performed in the U.S., China, France and Germany with her original works. In 2020 fall Identity expanded beyond teaching and transitioned to a full season professional dance troupe. The company's first live concert debuted in fall, 2021 and is one of the resident companies of Visceral Dance Center since 2022. Identity has performed locally in Chicago, Evanston, and internationally in Hanover, Germany. The company presented Enliven & Perpetual in Seattle International Dance Festival this summer along with companies, globally.  Identity hosted its own Elpis Dance Festival 2024; and closed its summer season in Navy Pier’s Wave Wall Moves featured by See Chicago Dance.  This fall, Identity will debut outstanding new dance works, followed by collaborative project with a national company from Seattle next spring and an international engagement next summer. All works created for and performed by Identity dancers express the beauty of our individual identities, interconnected in unity. We invite you as our audience, to witness this intention with every dance work.
