Quand le Corps S'exprime: The Body's Narrative

Guided by the principle that "simplicity is the ultimate sophistication,"Artistic Director Yi Chun has crafted a work of pure physical poetry. There are no political statements. No prescribed meanings. Just bodies moving with intention, fluidity, and grace—building a unique dance vocabulary that speaks directly to the senses.
Each dancer brings their own training, background, and physicality to the stage, creating a living tapestry of individuality. Their movements are low-centered, circular, and fluid—evoking the essence of water as it flows, shifts, and transforms. Emotion doesn't need words here. It pours through every gesture, every turn, every breath.

Presented by: Chun Dance & Cluster Arts Global

Chun Dance was founded out of Director Hsieh Yi-Chun’s love for her fellow dancers, and has nurtured many outstanding local dancers in Taoyuan, while cultivating public’s passion for the art of dance. As a young team that started locally but dares to challenge boundaries, we aim to break cultural barriers. Since 2023, Chun Dance has actively expanded outward, transforming its audience into an international one. Yi-Chun’s creation, Quand Le Corps S’exprime, was selected for performance at the Théâtre La Condition des Soies during the Off Avignon Arts Festival in July 2024.
