Originally from Houston, now with a home base in Montreal, Zack Tang is back to perform with ISHIDA Dance Company when it debuts Houston and U.S. premiere contemporary dance works at the MATCH this week.you could release me
Originally Ishida was supposed to premiere a new work in Houston last August, but the pandemic cancelled those plans. Then they hoped to return this January but that didn't work out either. If the third time is truly the charm then this will be the chance for Houston audiences to see creations from Ishida, a former dancer for Boston Ballet, Oregon Ballet Theatre and Les Grands Ballets Canadiens who is now based in Austin.
"I think that first of all I think an artist’s relationship with dance is extremely personal. There are lots of different genres that involve dance work," he says."I think what drove me to continue with dance was finding that relationship and finding the right movement style, the right choreographers, the right companies that would nurture what I'm interested in."
The piece he will be performing in — changeling— is a mix of duets and trios and solos, he says."A lot of us are working with ISHIDADance for the first time." This is not a like a story ballet but there is underlying narrative guiding the movement in the piece, he says.
