Background
FIGHTERS is a commissioned piece in Taiwan Dance Platform, celebrating the opening of the biggest performing arts venue in Asia - Weiwuying.
When LPCP art director Sunny Yang briefs me the idea about disrupting the stereotype of fighters (the 5 historical generals in the《Romance of the Three Kingdoms》, one of the Four Great Classical Novels) and ask me to do the dramaturgy, I propose to enrich the perspectives with the concept - contemporary Taiwanese fiction in co-creation with performers. Later, I introduce the thoery of social learning to intervene the traditional choreographing while facilitating the critical dialogue with performers and choreographer.
