She builds bridges between disciplines, pursuing an experimental approach to contemporary performance, and a laboratory-based approach to lighting design. As both choreographer and lighting designer, she focuses on presence and interactivity, curious about the relationship between movement and new media practices. She plays the balance between reality and fantasy working with light and multimedia material to tinker with perspective. Nien Tzu perceives performance as a process of transmitting dialogues between inner and outer space, where presence and image builds multiple, overlapping conceptions of time.<\/p>\n

Nien Tzu completed her BFA in Contemporary Dance at Concordia University (2018). She received a danceWeb Scholarship in 2023 (AT), a M\u00e9c\u00e8nes investi\u00b7es pour les arts prize and a CAM\/La Chapelle residency in new artistic practices in 2019, an OFFTA Hybridity Award, an undergraduate research award and a contemporary dance prize in 2018 , and the James Saya Award in 2015.<\/p>\n

Her projects have been presented internationally at Flipchart (The Hague, NL), Node Digital Festival (Frankfurt, DE), Biennale N\u00e9mo (Paris, FR) and Ars Electronica (Linz, AUT), as well as in Canada at IN\/ON\/ OUT INTERARTS (Winnipeg, MB), SummerWorks (Toronto, ON), 1-ACT Fest (Vancouver, BC), and in Montr\u00e9al at OFFTA, Elektra, Akousma, Tangente Danse, La Chapelle Sc\u00e8nes Contemporaines and Montr\u00e9al, intercultural arts.[\/vc_toggle][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” border_width=”2″ accent_color=”#312684″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1741818608912{margin-top: 10px !important;margin-right: 10px !important;margin-bottom: 10px !important;margin-left: 10px !important;}”]\n

\nAfter 15 years in Canada, Nien Tzu Weng<\/strong> goes back in time. The journey is crucial; she must experience what she missed in the past to understand why she had to leave in the first place. After all, when one escapes, a new narrative takes form.<\/span><\/p>\n

In \u201c{\u5149 (\u9670 | \u5f71)}\u4e4b\u221e\u201d (Gu\u0101ng Y\u012bn): The Lightest Dark is Darker Than the Darkest Light<\/strong><\/span>, Weng deconstructs the cultural underpinnings of her movement practices, experimenting with a body identity connected to ancient Taoist concepts. Through the body\u2019s yin and yang aspects, she bridges inner and outer worlds, physical and virtual spaces. The result is an immersive performance where dance, gestures, memory-igniting scenery, luminous robots, and personas intertwine in a layered dreamscape.<\/span><\/p>\n

When past and future meet, what timezone do we live in?
\n<\/strong><\/em>
\nThe journey Nien Tzu invites us on is a crucial one; she revisits ancestral traditions while playing with the materials and textures of the future to allow a new narrative to emerge, creating a futuristic dream whose existence remains uncertain.<\/p>\n

Somewhere between art and introspective documentary, invoking recreated landscapes she has carried with her from Taiwan, this project explores themes of nostalgia and homeland, playing with lighting materials and sound objects to unfold and express the density and intensity of memories.<\/p>\n

Blending performance with futuristic visual compositions, this immersive experience transports audiences into a dreamlike world, where science fiction meets manga. The team of digital artists, videographers, sound designers, video mapping creators and augmented reality experts created a prolific transdisciplinary and multidimensional project, an immersive portal through time and space.<\/p>\n
