Closing Performance: Kirstie Simson Solo Performance Subterranéa

11/22（六）(SAT.) 19:30-21:00

Dance artist Kirstie Simson is widely renowned as a leading light in the art of dance improvisation. Through her art form Kirstie shares her story of dealing with a life-threatening health crisis: cancer, and its recurrence. Traversing movement and text, she conveys the underlying philosophies that have emerged through the embodied practices which have supported her to face, and engage with, life’s challenges.

‘When life is good there is a thrilling sense of freedom that calls to be fully engaged with, and joyfully expressed. When difficulties emerge, as they inevitably will, and the path forward seems perilous, the work begins in earnest and our understanding and grounding in holistic practice is put to the test. Emotionally this is not pleasing for us; yet it is where the profound satisfaction of humble learning, deepening understanding and strengthening occurs. Life inevitably will present us with challenges. Where did we get the idea that it should be easy? The good news is that as an integral part of the whole, we have everything at hand to be able to adapt, transform, uncover, and explore life-generating solutions, that are so much needed at this time.’

Subterranéa explores our resilience in the face of adversity, how we make sense of life through telling our stories, and Kirstie’s experience of the intersection between her health crisis & the planetary crisis we are collectively facing.

古舞團簡介 Introduction of Ku & Dancers

古舞團成立於1993年，由編舞家古名伸所創立，目的在從事現代舞的創作及發表，演出足跡遍及台灣、香港、美國、英國、澳洲及歐洲等地。除了從事現代舞的創作演出之外，舞團自創團以來就積極地推廣即興舞蹈表演及「接觸即興」的舞蹈方式與觀念，也成為台灣唯一以此種表演藝術形式作專業演出的團體。

1992年發表的《我曾經是個編舞者》為首度嘗試的作品，1998年發表大型結構即興作品《獵景》，開始舞團新的表演方向。2000年推出《活・動・畫》於全省各地畫廊美術館演出 ，與異於劇場的表演空間融合，開發全新的觀眾群。2010年9月於北高兩地演出即興舞蹈力作《亂碼2010》大獲觀眾好評，獲第九屆台新藝術獎表演藝術類提名。

2011年11月策劃首屆「i·dance Taipei 國際愛跳舞即興節」連續9天13場活動11種國籍30多位藝術家共襄盛舉，獲第十屆台新藝術獎表演藝術類提名，隨後每隔兩年將再次舉辦。2012年《回來》20週年紀念製作，三度獲台新藝術獎表演藝術類提名。2016年獲兩廳院委託製作《沙度》，首演於國家戲劇院，在迷離夢境般的預言故事中，尋找 無盡焦慮的出口。2024年年度製作《漸見》結合數位藝術、美術館等跨域作品，為第四度獲第23屆第四季台新藝術獎提名。

Ku & Dancers was founded in 1993 by choreographer Ming-Shen Ku, with a mission to create and present contemporary dance works. The company has performed extensively across Taiwan, Hong Kong, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and various parts of Europe. Since its inception, Ku & Dancers has been a leading force in promoting improvisational dance and Contact Improvisation in Taiwan, establishing itself as the country’s only professional dance company dedicated to this form of performance.

The company’s exploration of improvisation began in 1992 with its debut work I Was a Choreographer. In 1998, Ku & Dancers premiered the large-scale structured improvisation piece View Hunting, which marked a new direction in its artistic journey. The 2000 production Dance, Motion, Picture brought performances into galleries and museums throughout Taiwan, expanding the company’s audience by engaging with non-traditional performance spaces.

In September 2010, the acclaimed improvisational work Decode 2010 was performed in Taipei and Kaohsiung to enthusiastic responses, earning a nomination for the 9th Taishin Arts Award in the Performing Arts category. In 2011, Ku & Dancers initiated the first i·dance Taipei, a biennial international festival of improvisation dance, featuring 13 events over 9 days with over 30 artists from 11 countries. This groundbreaking festival also received a nomination for the 10th Taishin Arts Award.

To mark its 20th anniversary in 2012, the company produced Voltar, securing its third Taishin nomination. In 2016, Sadhu, commissioned by the National Theater and Concert Hall, premiered at the National Theater. The work unfolded a dreamlike, prophetic narrative in search of a release from deep-seated anxiety. Most recently, in 2024, Ku & Dancers premiered Gradation, a cross-disciplinary production that merged digital art and museum spaces, garnering the company’s fourth nomination at the 23rd Taishin Arts Award (Season 4).
