Long Museum will specially hold a workshop exploring the power of female body. The workshop is based on the current exhibition "International Women Exhibition ". In this workshop, gender is not only a starting point for the body. It transcends a kind of existence, returns to the body itself, and enters into a deeper dialogue with the inner self. 

The workshop is guided by the philosophy and technology of Hou Ying, the artistic director of Hou Ying Dance Theatre, and combines Western post-modern body movement techniques and Eastern philosophy of natural body energy transformation.

Starting from the body, participants will be trained from the body to the energy decomposition and system training. On the basis of a thorough understanding of the body, the workshop improves the sensitivity of body consciousness to obtain the growth and circulation of overall energy.

Body: Through basic exercises, the active use of the body can stimulate the vitality of the body, awaken the awareness of the body, let us further connect with the body, and improve the acuity of the body's senses. Then the improvisation training and the joint training break the inherent traditional boundaries and individual limitations, and create a wider communication space and rich body language.

Consciousness: Widen body consciousness, create more movement possibilities, understand the principle of body movement and mutual relations, and generate the greatest freedom of self-consciousness to dominate the body. Return to the natural state of body consciousness, open all the senses, and play like a child. In the process of dancing with others, one can perceive the transformation of the spatial relationship between the limbs and the energy transmission of physical contact, and stimulate the flow of self-energy to build a deep energy field to heal and relax the body. 

Improvisation: It explores various possibilities of body dynamics by moving limbs in contact. It is combines intense dynamics, quietness and contemplation altogether. Participants learn how to establish connections through physical contact and interactive exercises while dancing with others and explore the body's dynamic system and principles of action. Improvisation focuses on the conscious awareness and spontaneity present, and the ability to simultaneously control the inner consciousness and outer space during exercise. The participants’ body will finally achieve a relaxed state. The body structure is closely linked with the intelligence of dance. Participants perceive, create, and transform. 

Let's take a wonderful journey together where the body perception and creation meet.
