Abstract

This chapter concludes the book with a discussion of a dance piece by choreographer Cheng-chieh Yu. Yu's piece, Hood, Veil, Shoes was commissioned by a Taiwan dance company and is inspired by Yu's experience with gender dynamics as they are negotiated on Taipei's crowded streets. The piece, choreographed by a Taiwanese American choreographer returning to Taiwan in order to create work that ultimately is conditioned by her experience of Taipei's urban choreography, reflects upon the broad themes discussed in the previous three chapters: the pull of Chineseness, and the relationships among bodies, urban motion, and choreography.
