    Solace - My dear, don't be afraid, you are home now... is a poignant dance by Bih Tau Sung, the award-winning choreographer and Artistic Director of Dancing Sun Dance Company, and guest choreographer Jin-Wen Yu. Bih Tau Sung is a first-generation Taiwanese-American and a founding member of Cloud Gate Dance Theater of Taiwan. Guest artist, Jin-Wen Yu was a soloist with Cloud Gate Dance Theater in Taiwan and is currently the Artistic Director of Jin-Wen Yu Dance (that tours internationally) and the Associate Professor and Chair of the Dance Program at UW-Madison. Sung and Yu are celebrated artists have forged an original dance technique that is a fusion of traditional Chinese and Taiwanese dance with American modern dance. The central theme of Solace - My dear, don't be afraid, you are home now... is nesting - the comforting images and thoughts connected with home: to make a home, to migrate home, to miss one's hometown, and all associated relationships and issues. Solace... is rooted in a combination of the choreographer's personal experiences with migration and the emotions that followed the anniversary of 9/11. The result is a moving three-part dance designed to bring a sense of comfort, or solace to its audience.
