The Nai-Ni Chen Dance Company, the renowned international touring dance company founded by Chinese American choreographer Nai-Ni Chen, and now led by Artistic Director Greta Campo and Executive Director Andy Chiang (Class of 1980) will perform at the Alvin Ailey American Dance Center on Sunday, May 18th. The production celebrates the 2025 Asian American  Pacific Islanders Heritage Month, which will showcase Chen’s distinctive cross-cultural style and the diverse influences that informed her work, as well as, new works created for the Company.

 

The celebration will open with one of Chen’s most powerful dances, Unfolding, which explores the flow of energy and the dynamics in Korean Chan-Go music.  The performance will also feature Tiger and Water Lilies, a dance Nai-Ni Chen created for contemporary ballet company, BalletMet in Cleveland, OH.  New work in this program will be the most recent work Ninja Under the Umbrella by the Company’s director Ying Shi. In this celebration, the renowned Ahn Trio will join the company to perform one of their most celebrated collaborations:  Yuryung.

 

Following the program, you are invited to join a VIP reception and will have the opportunity to meet the artists over small bites and drinks.

Join researchers from MIT’s K. Lisa Yang Global Engineering and Research (GEAR) Center as they share cutting-edge water and agriculture projects underway across the MENA region. Focused on creating solutions that can feed a growing society in the face of water stress, climate change, and energy limitations, the Yang GEAR Center has realized low-cost, renewable-powered technologies in drip irrigation and desalination that dramatically cut water and energy use while being cost effective for farmers. Now it’s time to bring them to market! Learn how the center’s pioneering approach is building resilience across the region—and how MIT alumni and friends can help drive lasting impact for low-resource communities across MENA.
 
 
Amos Winter
Germeshausen Professor of Mechanical Engineering; Director, K. Lisa Yang GEAR Center at MIT
Amos Winter leads MIT’s Yang GEAR Center, where he and his team engineer bold, high-performance, low-cost technologies that tackle critical challenges in water, agriculture, health, and energy in resource-limited settings. His work blends deep technical expertise with user-centered design and global partnerships to deliver real-world impact. Winter earned his PhD in MIT’s Mechanical Engineering Department before joining the faculty in 2012.
 
Mohamed Naouri
