Programme

《我们之间》《 Among Us》

Choreographer: Ma Nan 马南
Dancers: Sun Ruixuan, Zhu Xiyue, Pan Zhiyi, Wu Pei-Pei, Liu Yu-Hsuan, Leung Wai Yin Angus, Jensen Springer 

七人纯肢体群舞，以身体丈量彼此的距离，在聚拢与分离间，演绎群体流动的空间边界。A seven-dancer abstract physical ensemble piece. Bodies measure the distance between one another, unfolding shifting spatial boundaries of the group through convergence and divergence.

Music: Philip Glass, Metamorphosis — Hao Shen

⭕

Choreography: Wang, Ruping 王如萍
Dancers: Chin Yu-Chien, Lian You-Yi, Cecilia Durán, Jing Hui 井晖, Pryde Cavanagh, Zhao Xintian, Yujia Chen, Tang Sze Wai Sara

We dance to echo the theme of 2026 ArtsCross, Out-of-Place. This theme becomes not only a point of departure but also a curiosity of a series of explorations. Furthermore, we invite you to join and to experience the idea of being Out-of-Place within this specific time and site of ⭕.

Special thanks to all the dancers, Yun-Yu Wang, Yi-Jung Wu, I-Fen Tung, and Yu-Cheng Lin.

The Laughters (research)

Choreographer: Léa Tirabasso
In collaboration with the dancers: Zhu Jiahong, Cui Baiwenyue, Wang Pin-Chieh, Lin Ying, Fung Kei Maggie, Valeriia Mosina, Lillian Wallman

We are sharing a first research into the act of laughing. During our time together we explored what happens in the body when we laugh, observed each other laughing, and gradually opened up to one another.

Choreographer: Tsang Wing Fai 曾詠暉
Dancers: Wen Wen, Xue Yiyang, Yang Tzu-Ching, Hsueh Tzu-Chin, Wong Lai Kei Kristy, Anna Kazwell, Darby Ward
