Dance
2026 Maoli Performing Arts Festival "In Search of Tea" (2 Performances)
Program Introduction
"In Search of Tea" starts from the daily act of drinking tea in Taiwan, treating tea as a medium connecting space, life, and bodily memory.
Centered around brewing a pot of tea, it transforms the familiar impression of tea drinking through contemporary body language, allowing the audience to slow down during the process, return to themselves, and re-experience the relationship between people and the environment. It also echoes the concept of "art entering everyday spaces" promoted by the Shop Arts Fringe, bringing the performance into shops and urban sites, allowing familiar behaviors originally present in daily life to be seen and felt anew.
The dancers not only act as performers but also as guides, guiding the audience to move, pause, and feel within the space, incorporating a six-senses experience. During the performance, the audience will temporarily leave their original pace of life, interact with the space through their senses, and re-experience time, breath, and themselves. "In Search of Tea" is not merely a work to be watched, but an experience unfolding in everyday spaces. It allows people to see different scenery in familiar places and reconnect with life and themselves.
[Introduction to Infinite Rotation Dance Studio]
Founded in 2021, Infinite Rotation Dance Studio blends street dance energy with classical aesthetics, developing an Eastern contemporary dance vocabulary of "classical aesthetics × contemporary body × popular rhythm." Deeply rooted in Miaoli, it combines creation, education, and touring to produce works that are both artistic and accessible, connecting dance with culture and life.
Dancers: Yu Pin-hsuan (游品萱), Lin Chieh-tien (林潔天), Yang Hsiu-wen (楊琇雯), Chi Ya-tung (紀亞彤), Cheng Yuan-chen (鄭援蓁)
