8th July, TGIF

Ahhhh! It’s Friday! I’ve got some time to think and contemplate.

Today I invested a lot more time on a theatre sport kind of game, which we have been working on this week. The focus was mainly on critical feedback from each of the dancers about the other dancers. It was a bit slow to start with! Like most of the week, no one dared to speak or give an opinion. I was listening to the sound of my own voice, trying desperately to encourage them to say something, anything! Then after about half an hour the photographer, who was there today to observe, put his hand up and said “I like what Michun and Lee Way did was very interesting.” So I said “Ok but you have to tell us why” and as a visual artists he did without hesitation, in great detail and my beautiful little dancers got a little bit kooky. Nice!

We also played a couple of games that I made up……….

So see you Monday! I’m gonna sit back and sip a Taiwanese beer with my good friend Claude and think and how awesome dancers have been this week!

Claude Aymon, runs his own company, c2a, in Marseille, South of France, he also writes his own music and takes the most amazing photos (I hope he posts some of them soon, they are much better than mine)


Here is a short clip of what the dancers and I have been up too. and this is some of the music Ryadan Jeavons has composed for the work.
I’m having too much fun…….
In the video are Pei Ing, Li Yan, Li Wei, Yi-Jie, Michun, Yi-Chen, Yi-Ting, Hsing-Miao, Ming-Shan And of course The Father of Taiwan, Dr. Sun Yat-sen. Music by Ryadan Jeavons
