Gao Yanjinzi, a renowned choreography with Beijing Modern Dance Company, will stage her two new works Offering and Fragrance in Beijing again in August after their debut performance won a big success at the National Center for the Performing Arts in May.

Gao's work draws on her Buddhist upbringing and traditional Chinese dance training. In a contemplative, harmonious world, her dancers move with a natural flow of energy, yet surprises lurk around every turn, causing audiences to question the legitimacy of such binaries as "traditional/modern"and "East/West"

She has received numerous major awards for performance and choreography both in China and abroad, including the Grand Prix at the 12th International Modern Choreography Competition in Belarus for her piece Worlds (1999).

Her work Jue-Aware has received the Danza e Danza award for best performance in 2006 by Italy’s leading dance magazine Danza e Danza.
