When dance meets Chinese Landscape Painting (CLP), the Chinese and global audience are offered a poetic dance drama, A Mere Touch of Green. With its remarkable interpretive skills, the poetic dance drama has not only been hailed as a phenomenal achievement in the field of Chinese contemporary art, but has also become a relentless effort to reconnect people with nature in the context of China’s narrative of ecological civilization. Taking as a source of inspiration A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains, a legendary landscape painting by Wang Ximeng of the Northern Song Dynasty, the drama skillfully integrates the mood of verdant landscapes into the dance expression through carefully choreographed dance vocabulary, stage art design rich in Song Dynasty characteristics, and highly distinctive music composition, thus creating a unique audio/visual immersion. The goal of this chapter is to provide an in-depth analysis of the traditional Chinese aesthetic connotations and its environmental aesthetic effects presented in the poetic dance drama. Through exploring its poetic expression, color restoration and reinterpretation, audio-visual fusion, and narrative structure, it reveals the innovation and transcendence of A Mere Touch of Green. Inspired by the dance drama, the author performed an experimental dance in Xi’an Yannan Park characterized by low maintenance, resilient design, and rewilding, and integrated the visit experience into the dance pedagogy. During the experimental dance the author accomplished an innovation in narrative structure that bestowed new values and meanings to the dance.
