ANALYSIS OF TAO YE
Analysing various choreographers dance routines and looking at the artistic application within the routines of Trisha Brown, Martha Graham and Tao Ye`s work, I took my inspiration from Tao Ye who made an impact within Contemporary dance with his unique creation of movement identified by stylistic elements. Tao Ye Chinese choreographer and founder of Tao dance theatre, from the young age of 12 Tao trained in Folk and Ballet style dance at school where he developed as a dancer through discovering the flexibility of his own body with the technique of Yoga (Kourlas, 2012).The works of Tao represented within his dances define his interest in continuous motions of life they aren’t representations of individual themes or statement`s (TAO Dance Theater, 2013).
Analysing the theatrical elements of Taos work, within the following performances in the following videos,

Analysing the above performances the dancers all look the same, the same height, weight, body frame and costume even down to detail`s such as haircut,` the viewer cannot identify individual characterisations or gender by the costumes as each dancer is identical and depersonalised , it symbolises “the growth of life,together with the growth of understanding of life and nature” says Tao Ye (Marriott, 2016).
analysing this i took Tao Ye`s artistic style, to recreate within the performance of colours however because the dancers in colours were all of different body frames and hair colours it did look nice but not as immaculate as presented in his work
