「表演藝術」與「所在地」的關係
Performing Arts in Locating its Locality


10 October 2020 | Saturday | 1:00pm~3:00pm
Host : Lee Ren Xin, Chew Soon Heng & Leow Sze Yee 李人欣, 周順興 與 廖世儀


除了日常的創作,排練,演出以外,表演藝術工作者要如何走向人群?通過表演藝術與人分享「表演藝術」這件事;當人體驗了肢體開發,律動,聲音,節奏等,對生活或創作是否有更多的選擇?

世儀、順興與人欣將帶領探討進入不同的空間與群體,如:社區,新村,偏鄉等,思考選擇何種形式的分享內容以及日後如何持續走下去。特別是創作的元素無法脫離社區,藝術工作與日常需求、身邊人、鄰居、個人與群體的關係,應用和意義。進而探索藝術的窘境和社會里的隔閡與異化。同時,檢驗外來/後來灌輸的藝術/創作體系,挖掘本土社會政治境況的身體(和舞蹈)需求。

語言:華語
形式:案例分享,主持人相互提問,與會者交流提問

How do performing arts practitioners work toward or from community? How is the artist and their work relevant to the people, to the everyday? Can we locate ways of art-making or practices that stem from the community? Sze Yee, Soon Heng, and Ren Xin will discuss ways they have worked in different spaces and communities beyond the studio and the theatre, while considering form, content, and their onward trajectory. What is the work of a performing artist in relation to the personal needs and collective significance in a community? What work of dance, music, or performance becomes pertinent when considering the bodies that inhabit this social landscape?

Language: Mandarin
Format: Sharing of case studies; conversation between the hosts, and with participants.

表演藝術行銷的迷思觀察
The Myths around Performing Arts Marketing


10 October 2020 | Saturday | 3:30pm~5:30pm
Host : Tan Eng Heng & John Wong 陳詠興 與 黃永益


藝術家和藝術行銷者,分別代表創作與市場之間相互拉扯與利益成就的矛盾之中。藝術如何被界定為商品進行有價值的獲利?純粹的藝術創作與市場通俗需求是可否共存?如何在不影響藝術創作的前提下讓作品能夠找到它的觀眾?黃永益與陳詠興試圖從投資者、藝術家、行銷者及消費者(觀眾)角度,解析藝術行銷常見的迷思,探討四者的思維模式與需求關係,並嘗試尋找平衡與共識。 

語言:華語
形式:概念整理,確立討論範疇和主題;案例分享;主持人相互提問,與會者交流提問 

Artists and marketing managers seem at odds in the negotiation between creation and marketing. How can art be defined as a profitable commodity? Can pure artistic creation and popular market demand coexist? How can a work of art attract its audience without compromising its artistic creation? John Wong and Tan Eng Heng set out to analyze common myths around art marketing, while considering the perspectives and needs of investors, artists, marketing managers, and consumers (audiences), and attempt to find a balance and consensus. 

Language: Mandarin
Format: Establish concepts, themes, and scope of discussion; present case studies; Q&A between the hosts, and then with participants.

On Merging Dance and Film, and Navigating the Role(s) of the Creator
舞蹈與影像合併的探究並探討創作者的角色


10 October 2020 | Saturday | 7:00pm~9:00pm
Host : Pexstret Liu & Yee Sue Ki 劉勇賢 與 易舒琪

With growing interest and awareness around dance films, experimentation and collaboration expand across the two disciplines. Film and dance have their own aesthetics and language in expression. How can these elements come together to form something else? How is the dance film scene developing today? And specifically in Malaysia? What are some ways or platforms that we can establish (or that already exist) to cultivate dance film creations? What are the roles in the creation process and how does one negotiate the shift and balance of roles, when working individually or collaboratively? 

This is a conversation between two dance artists who are curious as to where merging dance and film can take us. 

Language: English
Format: Sharing of case studies, conversation between the hosts, and open exchange with the participants.

隨著大眾對舞蹈影像的認識與好奇,更多具有實驗性質和跨領域合作的作品,紛紛湧現。
舞蹈和電影各有其語滙特色和美學界定,我們要如何把它們結合在一起,創作出新的表演媒介。目前舞蹈影像的發展處在何種階段?大馬在舞蹈影像的發展又是如何?我們有無可行的方式或平台可以持續孕育舞蹈影像的發展?需要有什麼樣的角色來推動,以及如何在個人或團體中,扮演相應的角色作出協調與平衡,以期有更大的發展或突破?劉永賢與易舒琪將與大家一起分享討論。 

語言:英語
形式:案例分享;主持人相互提問,與會者交流提問

身體解碼:舞蹈身體的社會功能與價值
Decoding the Social Function and Value of the Dancing Body


11 October 2020 | Sunday | 10:00am~12:00pm
Host : Tan Bee Hung 陳美向 


不同的身體帶著不同的社會符號與個別的象徵。舞者的身體也不例外,在舞台上被剖解,或者退下舞台後在社會上可能扮演的角色。現代舞舞者陳美向,與大家一起解碼有關身體符號的關鍵字,再與社會相關的語滙連接,嘗試建構舞者身體在社會中的定位,探討舞蹈身體的社會功能與價值。

語言:華語
形式: 影像播放,主持引導分享,開放現場交流對話。

Different bodies carry different social and individual signifiers. The same goes to dancers’ bodies: their bodies are often scrutinised onstage, and their roles questioned in society. Contemporary dancer Tan Bee Hung attempts to decode the keywords and significance of the body, and connect them to societal lexicons, in an effort to construct the meaning of a dancer's body in relation to its social function and value. 

Language: Mandarin
Format: Video presentation and sharing by the host, followed by dialogue exchange with the participants.

Lee Ren Xin 李人欣 :
 獨立舞蹈工作者。毕业于新加坡南洋艺术学院及美国纽约大学Purchase Dance Conservatory分校。對探索生活和藝術的共存、普通日常與特意精緻之重疊、平凡和刻意的相逢,社交和專業的相互融合。 不管是創作、研究、工作上與人的溝通和體驗,李人欣尋找舞蹈在人群生活的位置和相關性,舞蹈作為一種生活管道、為防守、為解放、為聆聽、為建立等,展現出生、動及量等動力關係。 

An interdependent dance artist, I spend time to inhabit a place—to make sense, to sense what next and how next. I am drawn to activations through art, where the mundane and the deliberate interact, where the routine and the spectacle are not so different. 

I am working with bodies (people!) and embodiment: what it means to be in this body on this land, how one wants to feel being in one’s body on this land; how can bodies be and be with each other—on this body of land. I feel strongly about bodies being problematized, as an effective system of control.
