| book description |
Famous for its ‘Modern Dance on Baby Oil’, the Taipei Dance Circle (1984–2019) changed how we think about movements. This book captures a rare behind-the-scenes look in dance ethnography at the group's final experimental years (2014-2017) after losing their founder, Shaw-Lu Liu. During this chaotic but creative and liminal phase, the author compares Shaw-Lu Liu’s and Cheng-Chieh Yu’s choreographic methodologies through thirteen months of fieldwork, positioning divergent paths in modern / postmodern dance. Bridging anthropology and dance studies, this book takes you deep into the slippery and creative world of movements, substance, objects, imagination and aesthetics.
