2019 Dancing in Autumn: Replacing Languages with Body Movements to Initiate the Trend of Thoughts

As pointed out by NTCH General and Artistic Director LIU Yi-Ruu, a good theater is not only a venue offering high-quality performance, but also a place for us to explore and impose impact on the society. Therefore, following the outspoken TIFA, NTCH IDEAS Lab, and jubilant Summer Jazz Party, NTCH presents the Dancing in Autumn series to challenge the existing values in the society with arts as a vehicle. "Therefore not all the works emphasize popular aesthetics. Some may even make people stunned and stunk. But each of them shares something in common, that is, proposing candid questions and responding honestly."

With the rapidly disappearing boundaries between different artistic forms, an art festival has to evolve to reflect the trend of development of contemporary arts. Thus, from 2020 on, the biennial Dancing in Autumn and International Theater Arts Festival will be combined into an annual festival for artists to initiate thoughts and debates focusing on important social issues. It is expected to be the most provocative performing arts festival in Taiwan, said the NTCH.

On November 24, the Experimental Theater will be turned into a dance floor for the closing party Stop Talking, Start Dancing! In addition to live DJ, five Artists-in-residence of the 2019 Gap Year will also join audiences in the merriment of dance. For more information, please go to https://reurl.cc/xD03oL
