【2020 Taiwan Dance Platform】CHOU Shu-yi ╳ Scarecrow Contemporary Dance Company "The Memory Overture of Strolling in the Park′′
Do you have any memories in Weiwuying Park?
Choreographer, dancers, and musician wander through a forest sparkling with the reflected light of a crystalline lake in this dance exploration that is closely connected with the natural world. They take a stroll away from the theater and into a city park, using their bodies, movements, and music to guide the audience through memories, help them visualize the transformation that freed up a century-old parcel of military land, and listen to legends about life passed down through generations expressed through music and chants.
Site Specific Creation in Park Project is a joint collaboration between choreographer CHOU Shu-yi and the Scarecrow Contemporary Dance Company. With the release of Body Map in the Tainan Park – 100 Days Strolling in 2019, modern dance became a fixture in local parks and the everyday lives of people. The act of recalling events from the past while observing the symbiotic relationship between dancers and trees allows people to feel the historical implications of the land beneath their feet and the infinite possibilities that are to be found in incorporating the natural environment into artistic creation.

Team Introduction
SCDC is committed to its mission to collaborate with outstanding dancers, choreographers, and artists from different fields to break through the existing dance creation, performance concept and production mode, and to create extraordinary and distinctive dance work by observing life, expressing humanity, caring for life, reflecting on life, and thinking about society.

Artists Introduction
CHOU Shu-Yi
Born in 1983, Chou is a choreographer and dancer. His recent creations, in the forms of theatre, site-specific performance or dance video, question the value of life and reflect the status of an individual or a group in different social contexts, and create “a body vocabulary that belongs to Asia”. Chou continues to seek new methods of creation, and potentials of cross-disciplinary collaboration using different mediums. His work Break & Break! won the Taishin Performing Arts Award of the 17th Taishin Arts Award in 2019.
WANG Yu-jun
WANG Yu-jun currently works as a singer-songwriter and composer who explores the border between music and sound, as well as their connection between theater, dance, performing arts, visual Arts, space, film and literature.
Keen on interdisciplinary exploration, she has developed a stereoscopic approach to shaping the sound of music. Her practice draws upon observations of everyday life and ordinary people, transmuting mundane and fleeting impressions into a sonic documentation of complex emotional shades. Yujun’s passion towards her craft is reflected whether in sharing indescribable moments of beauty with a theatre or black box audience, composing solo, or endlessly refining each note with her band. For the future, Yujun looks forward to making music in various corners of the world, recording vibrations that are native to the local atmosphere and their rhythms of life; hopefully uncovering through indigenous poems and songs new ways to bringing cultures into dialogue with one another.
