《一棵開花的樹》
張婷婷獨立製作
A Blooming Tree is choreographer Ting-Ting Chang’s attempt to decipher the works of contemporary poet Xi Murong from a female’s perspective, ingraining her dance with the essence of Xi’s famous poem, A Blossoming Tree. As the society continues to develop, the changes in gender roles and relationships inspired Chang to experiment with the possibility of Dance Literature, exploring another way to “read” the dance and “view” the poem. The words and phrases are developed and translated into body movements by the dancers, as the choreography attempts deconstruct and reconstruct the meanings of memories, emotions, and feeling.
BJ4
方駿圍
BJ4, the pronunciation resembles “no need to explain” in mandarin also a unique catchphrase in the network generation that I belong. This play is inspired by the spirit of America hip-hop culture, and it’s like a creative dance of two. “B”,”J”,”4”, each has a symbol and metaphor in this play, and it also means that when a performance happen, the communication between the performer and the audience is beyond words, no need to explain. Here I can only say, “Take a look, “BJ4.”
Con Salball
江婕希/洪睿絃
<Con Saball> "Con" comes from Latin and meaning "with" in English, and "Saball" is a combination of Salsa and Ballroom dance. As the name implies, it is a performance of international ballroom dance mingled Salsa dance. The work tries to take a contemporary mind to communicate with the body elements of social dance, to expand a journey of physical exploration. Like peeling onions, look for the precious and beautiful "heart zone" in layers. And take a closer look at the connection and taste slight changes between “take and send” in our hands.
《亡鏡吟》
莫穎詩@形藝祭
Wandering into the death mirror, life will become more brave? Or less consider ?or more unscrupulous? or close ? or more honest? or hidden with the most weakness and helpless of the one that cannot being more naked? Surrounding by the neon lamb and incense smoke at Wanhua district and Longshan Temple, peels from the wall corner reflects the twisted shadow of a hanging white face with her high heels in a silent night.
《灰色片段 》
劉俊德
I feel that life is like a combination of fragments, and the materials that construct these fragments are memory, memory of the mind, memory of the body, and inertia, all of which are the driving forces for me to continue. Under the understanding of most people, ash is a fuzzy area between black and white; for me it is used to describe the best color of life.
M.A.R.S.
MaharakU Dance Company
Body technology has memories of culture and emotion in the joints, muscles and every breath that moves and stretches. It shifts between memories and fantasy about the future. While the body of technology is not just about machines, but the signs of a change in worldview and the work of the body. Connected or disconnected, inside or outside the boundary, fixed or unsteady, displacement and residence. The body always creates a balance of self with every object, nature and space. But, we are often in an unbalanced situation and there is always a problem. M.A.R.S is a corporal question of anything that seems unbalanced. Driven by speculations and binary decisions of those rooted in many different locations. Because we are always in it, but do not really know what is going on.
My Sweet Castle
黒沼千春
A personal space in my heart. I can feel free and open my heart without any stress at there, and I can show my dark side like a jealous, complex to care nothing to public eyes here. On the other side, I also have light side which I can enjoy and focus on something with no pressure from anyone and anything. This is my own space, nobody even for family, boyfriend and best friend is allowed to enter the space.

Perfect
Maya Dance Theatre
The new explorative work in-progress deals with the concept of body-image. A concept that brings with it the societal expectation for people to develop a ‘perfect body’. Through our research we strive to enquire and find the extent to which one will go to achieve the perceived ideal physical state, or is it merely a question of the state of mind? We wonder while traversing this path, if there's a place for the soul - devoid of the body it is contained in? Will this pursuit unsettle our inner peace as we voluntarily subject ourselves to personal discomfort and the ridicule of people around us! When the body decays, do we risk losing our soul!
《壓力》
廖健堯
This piece explores whether stress would hinder us or prompt us to move forward. I often wonder about the different kinds of pressure humans face in life and how we explain or deal with them. We may not necessarily know what others are going through, but we can always put ourselves into their shoes and at the same time, put things into perspective. Pressure is invisible, but yet it is an undeniable force that drives us forward or pushes us backward.
《她與她色彩斑斕的夢》
張勻甄
Tangled up in thoughts and emotions that are hard to express, alone at night, she comforts herself with gentle touch and sinks into her dreams. Between the waking state and sleep, she dives into the fantastic and intimate time-space where she encounters her trauma, desire, fear and fantasy by chance. The dream is a “real” time-space interwoven with memories, where the body enters the circuit of multiple time-space, surrounded by multiple worlds. The memory has no ideal final form to achieve. Instead of being attached to a certain timeline, it is spreading towards unlimited diversities. The real time-space of dreams interweaves, transforms and montages memories, and disappears like the fog drifting away with the rising sun.

《白口罩》
馮靖評與南藝班芝花劇團
The body is in the alternation of the Hammock, and it is necessary to breathe hard. The soul can get the purity and relief of the highest unit, perhaps really seeing him in front of the face of death. All dancers will receive reflections and responses between the bridge, Hammockand body, and then extend.

My creativity comes from those happened in my life. No matter encountering the trivial or the difficult, we creators use our rationality and sensibility to transform lives into our works. Though these feelings seem personal, however they always reflect the generations’ structures of feelings.
