Pardon...Pardon?
Solo Dance Work
Creation 2016
Duration: 9 mins
Pardon...Pardon? 這個獨舞作品建基於人在使用言語溝通時無法超越的部份。作品起源自在倫敦唸書時對於陌生語言於自己的恐懼，縱然對方希望溝通的本意仍在，語言之間的隔閡卻無法讓雙方對話，卻裝作明白。
於是整個作品在「表演」和「存在」之間，探討某一種處於刻意表演以及「表演」與「表演」之間的空隙和存在感。從一直反覆的身體語言中尋找溝通之間的無力感、懷疑、渴望、假裝以及規律。
*這個作品在2016年世界舞蹈聯盟挑選於南韓舉行的會議和匯演中演出並獲得菁霖文化藝術基金頒發新晉編舞獎。
Pardon...Pardon? is a solo dance piece based on the idea of imperviousness of human communication with verbal language. It was inspired by the personal experience of inability to talk to people in a foreign city and the way that I chose to pretend that I was still in the scene.
Hence, this solo dance lingers on the line between "performance" and "being present", which creates a strong sense of frustration, urge, hesitation and doubt. And the process goes on and on in a circle to repeat itself, showing the repetitive nature of daily life routine and the frustration created.
*This performance is awarded the Chin Lin Foundation of Emerging Choreographer at World Dance Alliance Asia-Pacific Showcase 2016
