Residency Experience 驻地经历

As a conclusion to her residency, Xiang collaborated with two other musicians Jun-Y Ciao and Yizhou Sun to bring an unprecedented experimental performance.

响和另外两名音乐人照骏园与孙一舟以一场前所未有的实验性表演结束了她的驻地经历。

Field n.n, performed by V, kurocoral, Sea-shroom, Penny, and Xiang, is a conceptual work for a specific space. Based on field recording, five people will perform in the same space. In a certain period of time, they will do some simple things, slow body movements, daily behaviors. Or in silence, and stay.

由舒予,可叻皮筋,小扎海菇,关敏佳,响带来的表演,工作室的田野,是一个概念性的作品,为特定空间而做。基于田野录音,由五人在同一空间中表演。他们将在特定的时间内,做一些简单的事,缓慢的身体动作,日常行为。亦或无声,停留。

What A gives B is not what, performed by Jun-Y Ciao, Xiang, is a premeditated performance, but we don't know what will happen. Although we may have imagined many possibilities, the results may be unexpected. We didn't rehearse, and we couldn't rehearse. We will be told what to play until the performance begins, or we can say that decide what to play. The instrument may not be used, but the body is always ready. The results may not be the most important, but we are just as much curious and expected as the audience.

由照骏园和响带来的,A给B的不是B给A的, 是一个经过预谋的表演,但是我们不知道现场会发生什么,尽管我们也许作了很多可能性的设想,但是结果通常可能在预想之外。我们没有排练,也无法排练。表演开始我们才被告知去演什么,或者说才能决定演什么。带着的乐器有可能并不会使用,但是身体,时刻准备着。对于结果,可能不是最重要的,不过我们还是和观众同样期待和好奇。

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
