HSIAO-TING, HSIEH|CO-FOUNDER
在25歲那年,與雙胞胎姊姊密謀一同展開舞蹈探險之旅,而踏上不歸路。七年的紐約旅居生涯,在不停地創作、打工、認識新夥伴、演出、駐村度過。2015年以新的身分回台灣,重新認識這個記憶中的環境,有點陌生、有衝撞、有點期待、有人情味。近期創作關注在表演藝術與環境的關係,試圖以更溫柔、謙卑的態度,去連結人、地景、歷史、建物、氣候等關係。
At the age of 25, Hsiao-Ting conspired with her twin sister to start a dance adventure with no return. During the seven years in New York, she enjoyed her life with non-stop creation/choreography, work, cooperation with artists, performances and residency.
Hsiao-Ting moved back in Taiwan with a new identity in 2015. She re-discovered the changing environment that was familiar in her memory. Recently, her works focus on the relationship between the performing arts and the environment, attempting to use a more gentle and humble attitude to connect people, landscape, history, architecture, climate, and community.
