9th September 2007 (14:00 - 15:00)

Laide Zeng leading ideas of the performance entitled The Dance of Ink and Music - Calligraphy and guqin music is the principle of the eight basic notes (do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-si-do) and the eight basic elements of a Chinese character (dian-heng-pie-na-gou-tiao-zhe-ti), and the common language between these two. To Zeng, calligraphy is much more than just “black on white” - it is a unification of active ink (yang) and receiving paper (yin), a dynamic modern art form that carries a tradition of thousands of years.

Zeng Laide

One of the star performers of the Nordic Chinese Culture Festival is calligraphist Zeng Laide. His performance is a unique combination of calligraphy and music. The performance entitled The Dance of Ink and Music is best described as a dialog between music and calligraphy that blurs the boundaries between different art forms. Zeng Laide has studied calligraphy since 1980. Starting from 1999, he has taught at the Zeng Laide Arts Centre in Beijing.
