Body Talk

The rehearsal of "Body Talk" is not only a dance piece, which is a discourse of corporeal. This discourse drives us to meditate about our bodies. We are waiting for the show in musical atmosphere; vice versa, the performers 'talk' in mute background.

Dance without music is still a dance?! It seems that everyone dances at every moment under his own rhythm. The internal music ( sound and rhythm inside minds and bodies) can be a kind of music. So, walking, swinging, bouncing and even motionless can be a kind of dance. Dance in silence is a trick to build up a 'forgotten human dimension'. The construction of body movement is a deconstruction of superficial. What we see is more than it gives.

"Body Talk" provides the 'visual space of a contemplated scene'. It conceals the message but on the other hands, the stretch or contract of body extends our imagery. We see the performance and as the same time we communicate with the performers.

Here is the poetry, Spenserian Stanza form, used to continue the materiality, spatiality and mentality of image driven by "Body Talk".

Body Talk
David Leung's piece
A moth is trapped in a glassy box.
Patting its wings against the untrue wall.
Take off the clothes, out of the cocoon lock.

Wilson Chik's piece
Swimming with open eyes, making a call.
Meet and part, speak and hark, teasing you all.

Dick Wong & Yeung Wai Mei's pieces
Words and bodies both are mnemonic tools.
Blank but expressive. Void may make a fall.

Ong Yong Lock's piece
The rolling marble is just like a kook.
Search for the crack. The message is in a mute coo.
