Hailed as "one of the great artists of our time" (The Washington Times), choreographer, director, dancer, painter, and designer Shen Wei is internationally renowned for the breadth and scope of his artistic vision. He founded Shen Wei Dance Arts at the American Dance Festival in 2000 and his Company rapidly advanced to the forefront of the dance world, winning worldwide acclaim for "amassing a body of works so strikingly original they defy categorization" (The Boston Globe).

Shen Wei is inspired by his two passions, Dance and painting and seamlessly incorporates both into his otherworldly visions that he creates on stage, and that of course, depends on the size of the stage.

Many have seen Shen Wei's work during the 2008 Beijing Olympics where he choreographed and artistically directed the mind bending opening ceremonies, which almost upstaged the Olympics itself.
