Theater director, film director, sculptor, physical performance artist.<\/p>\n
As more and more of his works receive awards from and invitations to leading art and film festivals, 40-year-old Li Ning has already become one of the China\u2019s leading figures in experimental film and physical theater. After entering the sculpture program at Shandong Art School in 1993, he began studying modern dance and performance with renowned choreographer Jin Xing. In 1997 he founded his own physical arts collective \u201cJ-town Physical\u00a0Guerrillas\u00a0\u201d which has performed throughout Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Macau among others, and for the past twelve years, Li\u2019s \u201cMade in J-town Film Lab\u201d has lead the way in pushing China\u2019s boundaries of exploration in film and performance.<\/p>\n
Li\u2019s creative works as well as his critical analysis about art have circulated widely among and made a significant impact on the younger generation of China\u2019s creative community. As part of his long-term creative development, Li is developing ways to interweave three strands into an entirely new pedagogy and curriculum of physical training he calls \u201cDrawing Life Theater\u201d: researching new ways of training the body, creating work based on one\u2019s personal background, and visual arts theories of observation. The goal is to create a training method that would allow non-professionals to quickly enter the realm of performing arts as performers while also being useful for professionally trained artists. Currently he is practicing this training method in various schools and community centers throughout China in order to build a bridge between average citizens and the contemporary arts.<\/p>\n
The Physical Guerrillas is an activist-oriented,\u00a0physically-oriented\u00a0performance group.\u00a0Their performances have been selected and invited\u00a0to theatres and international art festivals worldwide. Their social and artistic agenda is to intervene in social events and create social space for\u00a0performance and action. For 15 years, they have been standing shoulder-to-shoulder with China\u2019s underclass, bringing their performances to both urban and rural areas, actively interacting with the \u201chere and now\u201d of society, and determinedly devoting themselves to the process of democratization in China.<\/p>\n

As the leader of the performance group, Li Ning has constantly fighting with exterior confinement and interior fear.<\/p>\n
