节目简介Programme Description

《错置·位移》用动作意像来传达身体文化的擦撞、争斗、平息和交流，舞者身体和其隐喻象征激发观众的共鸣和回响。身体感知的多面性、开放性和当下性使作品跨越空滑不平的身体文化场域，透过舞者身体间的感触互动，将被视为固化整合的肢体，随时可被取代、重组、溶解，从单一视图，融入推移，合二为一。身体像乘着滑撬般潜行，摇摆不定，对照于整合单一的身份。每一次的错置位移，引发重新驱策的动力。

Conditions of Displacement are explored through movement phrasing and imagery of passage from one state to another. This site of passage resonates with both the physical and metaphorical, brought forth in unendurable friction and struggle, or ease and liquidity. Dances can travel, passing over slippery uneven cultural ground, through immersive sensual states of the poly cultural, occupying the states of being in-between, of becoming. Here defined solids, unitary dance bodies are displaced, reformed, and then melted again, as the slipperiness of skin on skin pulls them from singleness in point of view, towards a state of merging entities, one body tempted to become another, tempted into passage. The slippery skids of this lurching movement score are counterpoint to unitary identity, and singleness. Each tempting into passage begins a new breath, a compulsion to reanimate.
