Turning the idea of dance on its head, it explores the sophisticated interpersonal relationship through the shifting of voice, energy and space. Voices arise with our names, becoming fragmented and reassemble, only for the command for a mini sofa made from plastic bags. Though the sofa grows in size, everyone could only perch on top of it in mid-air.
Public Participation - Body on Stage
This series suits a wide range of people and aims to inspire participants with different
backgrounds. Combining teaching processes and creative workshops, the interaction
between dance artists and participants can be explored. Daily materials, such as plasticbags, tennis balls, A4 paper and other different materials, are used to probe into the movement and perception of the body in the creation and performance of this series. Not only served as props, but these daily objects can also be endowed with vividness and artistic values through the association with certain retrospective and introspective qualities. With the interaction with these objects, participants create dance works in a semi-open structure. The company will also arrange opportunities for public performances so that the pieces will be presented to the public. As a result, the participants can get bodily satisfaction from dancing in performance.
