[2024 Taiwan Dance Platform] LIN I-fang & Jocelyn COTTENCIN - Ban-ping Shan + LIN I-fang - Party
Ban-ping Shan
Ban-ping Shan is a constantly renewed crossing.
In this piece, co-written with the visual artist Jocelyn COTTENCIN, LIN I-fang unrolls a part of her history, between France and Taiwan, and rewrites at present for her thirty- year career as a performer and choreographer.
Started during the pandemic, the first stage of this work Ébloui was presented in the fall of 2021 at the Théâtre de la Vignette as part of the Montpellier Dance 2021-2022 season. This work plays with all the meanings of this ambiguous word, which suggests blindness and brilliance, appearance and disappearance, amazement and wonder.
Today in Ban-ping Shan, these flashes of light snatched from memory, these moments of pure magic, are nothing but reinvention and re-appropriation of figures or stories, sometimes abstract and sometimes charged with affect. Through ephemeral forms, this piece moves between performance and choreography, installation and dance, allowing phantom movements to emerge and be summoned to the present, thanks to the gestural plasticity of LIN I-fang and the scenic device designed by Jocelyn COTTENCIN.
In Ban-ping Shan, the stage is populated with figures, forms, ghosts and presences. The stage becomes this landscape where each protagonist (the music, light and body) is independent but dialogues by friction and collision. Sublime panoramas are lost in the mists of the stage, a visual remanence, a sound universe makes the silence vibrate. In this solo in perpetual mutation, fine and silky bridges are created from one gesture to another, from one writing to the next. Inhabited by the inexorable flow of a singular and plural dance, LIN I-fang probes the dazzle of interpretation: to be completely herself and completely another.
Ban-ping Shan is a choreographic project that aims to be performed in theatres as well as in non-dedicated places. Ban-ping Shan can also be thought of as a duet, the sound being made live as well as the movements of smoke and light.
Party
"Party" opens up a space between the private and the public, between the performer and the audience. This piece originates from the dance material of the solo work "Ébloui" and was collaboratively developed with visual artist Jocelyn Cottencin in 2021.
LIN I-fang guides amateur dancers, encouraging their movements to maintain a balance between imitation and free expression, keeping the space open. Starting from sensation, they develop a movement that occupies the entire body, expressing individuality through dance. Through collective dance improvisation, they interpret a story, supported by PJ Harvey's powerful music and emotive voice, creating a space that disrupts desire and spreads emotion, thus fostering empathy.
Over the years, LIN I-fang has combined the Feldenkrais Method, delving deeply into movement and dance participation. In "Party", the progression starts with individual movements, then transitions to duets and trios, leading to mutual guidance and the realization of each dancer's potential. "Party" focuses on the diversity of the dancers, considering their energy levels and personal stories. It emphasizes accumulating life experiences and public issues, gradually rewriting the choreography, traversing life, building intimacy, and encountering each other again with disruption and confusion.
