    In 2017, Chinese dancer Wu Mi returned to his homeland after spending a decade with dance companies in Singapore. He joined Beijing Dance/LDTX, one of the major contemporary dance companies in China.

    When the COVID-19 outbreak happened, the sudden necessity of quarantine and social distancing in China created an opportunity for Wu to slow down and transform his role from dancer to that of a choreographer.

    Over July 3-4, Wu's debut full-length choreographic piece, titled So Close, Far Away, will be staged at the theater of Beijing Dance/LDTX for a limited audience.

    It is expected to be the theater's first live show since the government announced the reopening of such venues, with preordered tickets and a strict cap on the number of visitors.

    "I go to work by taking public transportation every day. When I saw empty subway trains and buses, which used to be crowded, and people wearing masks, I felt inspired (to do this piece)," says the 33-year-old.

    Born and raised in Yueyang, Hunan province, Wu started his dance training at age 12 by attending Changsha Vocational Secondary School of Art and Dance where he learned traditional Chinese dance.

    From 2003 to 2005, he studied at Singapore's Lasalle College of the Arts, and with a full scholarship he was enrolled to study ballet at Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts School of Dance.

    From 2007 to 2011, Wu worked at the Singapore Dance Theatre as a lead soloist and then as a contemporary dancer with Singapore's The Human Expression (THE) Dance Company.

    The latest piece, which is about 60 minutes long, is an expansion of Wu's 20-minute choreographic piece, which was staged at Beijing Dance/LDTX in early 2019.

    It centers on people's everyday lives and how people pursue their dreams in big cities.

    Wu says he has been revising his first choreographed piece due to the many emotions he wants to express through it.

    The choreographer has combined moves into his new work to portray the virus transmission and to imitate the moves of washing hands and wearing masks.

    Rehearsals for the new production started in February.
