◆ 展覽介紹 ｜ Exhibition Introduction

《極相林》以人的軀體變形為創作主題，雕塑性強，並強調身體的共感、舞者的肌理、關節分節的移動，原期待觀者能以較近的距離觀賞舞者的身體、身體與空間的互動，但鏡框式舞台由於距離的關係，使得觀眾無法經驗其儀式感與精神地景的微觀尺度。因此將在虛擬實境（Virtual Reality）中，透過肉身的巨大化效應與觀眾的近距離接觸，讓《肉身風景》不僅夠展現超現實的肉身奇觀，也讓參與者體驗到精神化的地景，進而實踐《極相林》舞作編創時，對生命的想像、痛、以及身體共感。

“renaissance of its Ashes” this original work, embeds a macroscopic scale microscopically and specifically into the performer’s own body to represent the spiritual landscape of the connection between the people and the divine. However, due to the distance from audience, performances in typical theater are unable to accurately deliver the microscopic scale of the sense of rituals and spiritual landscapes. Therefore, “The Scenery of Flesh and Blood” is able to represent better spiritual and ritual effects. Through the effects of scaling up the dancer’s body and close contacts with the avatar, “The Scenery of Flesh and Blood” can represent not only the surreal wonders of flesh and blood, but also allow participants to experience the spiritualized landscape.

◆ 關於藝術家 ｜ About the Artist

何曉玫，MeimageDance藝術總監，第十九屆國家文藝獎舞蹈類得主，國立臺北藝術大學舞蹈學系院長，雲門舞集舞蹈教室教材研發總顧問。曾任臺北越界舞團團長、雲門舞集2排練指導。，2013年作品《親愛的》獲第十二屆台新藝術獎年度入選，2015年作品《假裝》獲提第十四屆台新藝術獎入圍。近年常受邀至德國杜賽朵夫國際舞蹈博覽會、北京舞蹈雙週、香港城市當代舞蹈節等重要國際藝術節演出。

早期舞作風格深受台灣在地文化影響，以舞蹈作為媒介，探索本土文化風俗與反應當今社會現象。同時反映出台灣社會的動盪與多元，舞作內容發人深省。現階段在舞蹈創作上善用強烈的舞台視覺風格，探索當代人潛藏的內心世界。

何曉玫，被譽為「創造超現實想像的高手」，作品廣泛取材台灣文化與社會現實，卻不拘泥於眾聲喧嘩的表象，透過高度當代性的符號表現，以及強烈的視覺風格，探索當代人內心的幽微樣貌。

In 2014, she choreographed for “Above Taiwan Concert.” Her choreography “My Dear” (2013) won the Taishin Arts Award, and “Beyond the Pale” (2011), and “Woo!

In 2009, “Middle” was invited to perform at International Organization of Stenographers Theatre Architects and Technicians (OISTAT) in Seoul, Korea.

In 1995, HO was invited to be the commission choreographer at the American Dance Festival.

Hsiao-Mei HO’s early works were inspired by Taiwanese folk culture, exploring the cultural image of the Taiwanese and reflecting on the current social situation, using art as social commentary. Her works were often thought-provoking, reflecting Taiwan’s turbulence and diversity, with its underlying silence and intensity. At the present stage, she is famous for using strong and unique visual effect on stage to present human inner thoughts in modern society.
