2025TCAF:Exhibition-You Choreography - Little Choreographers

★ Every moment can be a part of dance.
★ Put on headphones, and you can be a little choreographer too!
 

You Choreography – Little Choreographers is a performance experience that redefines traditional perceptions of dance. Conceived by choreographers Hsieh Chieh-Hua and Tung I-Fen, the event invites audiences to freely enter and exit the "dance floor," responding to voice instructions through headphones and moving naturally. This is a dance without a fixed answer—everyone is a dancer, and every moment of entry and exit creates a one-of-a-kind performance.
Sensing the Everyday Through the Body, Unlocking Infinite Possibilities in Dance!

Everyday movements can become part of dance. This event places body experience and imagination at its core, encouraging both adults and children to explore space through movement and discover the relationship between their bodies in the environment. Within the performance space, audiences are free to enter and exit at will, transforming from mere spectators into active choreographers and dancers.
 

You Have Two Dance Floor Options!

In "Exhibition Mode," You Will Experience… Audiences can freely enter and exit the dance floor, put on headphones, and follow voice instructions, interpreting movements in their way. Even the simplest gestures—like wiggling a finger or spinning the body—can become part of the dance. Spectators are not just observers; they are an integral part of the performance.

In "Dancer’s Special Mode," You Will Experience…  Led by professional dancers, audiences will be guided through demonstrations and instructions, inviting families to explore the possibilities of body movement together. This immersive experience encourages the co-creation of unique dance moments in the present.

Tung I-Fen X Hsieh Chieh-Hua You Choreography Production Team

You Choreography was conceived in 2015 by choreographers Hsieh Chieh-Hua and Tung I-Fen, breaking the boundaries of traditional dance by emphasizing the natural flow of the body, allowing anyone to become a dancer. Through simple voice instructions, participants are guided to explore the potential of their bodies and create unique, improvised dances.
 

The team has previously been invited to perform at international art festivals such as the Macau City  Fringe Festival, Gwangju Museum of Art in South Korea, and the National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts (Weiwuying) in Taiwan, transforming everyday actions into dance language and promoting boundaryless body art.
 

At the 2025 Taipei Children's Arts Festival, the team will continue the philosophy of Everyday Choreography, inviting families to engage in a dance experience full of imagination and creativity through the interaction between the body and the environment.
