Workshop 1 by I-Ling Liu
3 hours of Nosy

This class is open to various styles of movement. It includes a mixture of task-orientated guided improvisation as well as emphasis on body control, energy flow, imagination and emotions. We look forward to experiencing the technique that combines strength and fragility, sensitivity to motion and stillness, co-existing quality of wildness and refinement as well as grey areas in between. Expanding the range of concentration from focusing on self-body’s problem solving, to being nosy into things around. Therefore, this class will help artists to develop their own performing skills, hopefully.

Workshop 6 by Ming-Shen Ku
A Free Sky

The free movement of the body is the most beautiful manifestation of self. The performance of dancing lies in the use of the body. How can one not fall into inertia or an established form when using the body? It requires practising the ability to comprehend the body and to break habits resolutely. The choice of body movement will be more natural and authentic through the body’s instantaneous perception. The most effective way to help one to explore the body movements and the unknown is through improvisation dance. Contact Improvisation enables people to learn about themselves through dance. It helps them find the ability to dance harmoniously with their partners.

A bit of talking, a bit of dancing

A bit of touching here and there

A bit of stillness, a bit of movement
