【2022 Taiwan Dance Platform】TIEN Hsiao-tzu × LEE Shih-yang × TAI Zih-ning - Liederzyklus & SU Pin-wen - Girl's Notes
TIEN Hsiao-tzu × LEE Shih-yang × TAI Zih-ning Liederzyklus
If life is like a river, is the chapter that follows each encounter serendipitous or inevitable?
In classical music, the German term Liederzyklus refers to a series of songs that are designed to be performed in a sequence which forms a story. Based on this idea, Liederzyklus consists of three artists who initiate conversations with their musical instruments and their bodies. They reflect both the moment and the eternity of music and dance through addressing the delicate lights of lives. They are like members of a chamber music group who all begin performing at the same starting point and tempo but then improvise within a rehearsed construction and limited form.
In the Liederzyklus project, begun in 2019, musicians respond to the movement and tempo of dancers' bodies and aim to understand their body language. In return, dancers need to be aware of music theory and sound structure as they respond to the way musical phrases develop. By rehearsing together regularly, musicians and dancers become familiar with one another and adapt, enlighten, contend and comply with each other as they perform. There is no longer a set relationship of dominance and submission between them; they constantly compete and jostle for position. When the rationale of music meets the sensibility of dance, the performers must listen to one another, mutually reacting to each other's breath. Every choice may appear random, but is nevertheless an inevitable development of an accumulation of a lifetime's experience which we all act upon at every moment of life. This is how Liederzyklus responds to the improvisation of life.
The project is led by three artists: pianist LEE Shih-yang, multi-awarded winner of Taiwan's Golden Indie Music Awards, Golden Melody Awards (both for Popular Music, and for Traditional Arts and Music); violaist TAI Zih-ning who creates experimental improvisation music and music theater, and aims to break free from the inertia of musical instruments, timbre, and physicality; dancer TIEN Hsiao-tzu who continuously explores herself, responds to society through her work and attempts to portray the unique shape of new generation artists with dance as an art form. The three performers invite local artists to join them in the project when touring different venues in order to create a unique improvisation. This not only reflects the accidental nature of life, but also the witty deliberation of intelligence in the flowing image of Liederzyklus.
SU Pin-wen Girl's Notes
Girl's Notes is a book with the sentence "A young girl's fantasy is nothing but a poem." on its cover. Even in the year of 2022, it's still interesting to read the book. "You need to know, there are many things that you shouldn't do while in love, such as kissing, touching, and sex, etc." "All males are conceited and arrogant. They hope that women will depend on them. Although you are a brilliant woman, you should pretend you are helpless." From contemporary feminists' points of view, SU Pin-wen created the production "Single-Body" based on Girl's Notes, with nudity instead of written words, inviting audience to join SU's in this alternative theatrical book review.
