LCPD produces and promotes original performance works and commissions of diverse arts forms, including modern/contemporary dance and music.
We provide education, training and performances in combination with diverse art forms to inspire artistic potential and life applications of art.
Collaboration with contemporary composers and designers gives LCPD a wide range of pieces.
We strive to reflect Li Chiao-Ping's unique movement vocabulary and choreographic style, as well as her ongoing search for exquisite and subtle gestures and risk-taking athleticism.
Inspired by Ms. Li's Chinese-American heritage, LCPD continues making multi-layered works which combine movement, sound, and visual imagery to explore themes of culture and identity.
Li Chiao-Ping Dance is a 501(c)3, non-profit organization. The generous support of our patrons makes future performances of Li Chiao-Ping Dance possible. Help us out.

LCPD is excited and honored for this opportunity to stand behind this wonderful project - Dancing on the Ceiling: performances by women of a certain age. Artists in other performing fields commonly continue in their careers for many years, but due to the physical rigor of dance, performers are often viewed and valued for their youthful dance technique. These seasoned artists, including Charlotte Adams, Beth Corning, Simone Ferro, Heidi Latsky, Li Chiao-Ping, Deb Loewen, and Endalyn Taylor present the value of time, experience, and dedication to producing skillful performers with nuance and strength. Not “rather than” or “instead of”, these mature dancers “also” have much to offer and this concert makes this point.
Saturday, December 1 DOLCE STIL NOVO, LCPD concert at Masonic Auditorium, Madison, WI
Li Chiao-Ping Dance’s Dolce Stil Novo takes its title from the poetic style of 13th C. Italian writers, like Dante Alighieri, which celebrated the female form, love, and womanhood from a spiritual and idealized perspective. This event features amazing artists together for two shows only on Saturday, Dec. 1--2:30pm and 7pm, including:
Choreography by Li Chiao-Ping; Music by Julia McConahay; Fashion by Sarah Friedland and Emily Popp; Visual Art by Chele Isaac; and Lighting by John Frautschy.
Ms. Li reworks this idea as a choreographic theme to celebrate women in today’s world, navigating conventions of beauty, societal norms, and gender politics.

RECENT HAPPENINGS
Our LANDED performance on September 8th at Old Dominion University was a huge success--many thanks to the folks at ODU for all their incredible organization and support! Thank you so much!
Landed, a collaboration between choreographer Li Chiao-Ping and visual artist Douglas Rosenberg, is an evening-length, multimedia dance work that investigates the immigrant experience through stories, personal and historical, related to each cast member. This work blends together the abstract and symbolic, with physical expression and spoken word, to form a distillation of journeys, hope, loss, pain, and resilience.
Created with support from The MAP Fund, a program of Creative Capital, primarily supported by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation. Additional funds come from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
