作品以「迁徙」命名,源于创作者通过对自然事物的流动观察,延伸到对生物的迁移、人类的移居等现象的思考。作品通过视觉和声音作为探索载体,在“转化”、 “转变”及“转折”等具有进程含义的概念中去探讨过去与现在。编导使四位舞者在异同身份的转换中,让人与物件放置或重组,构建出一种矛盾且清晰的语言。无论是被制造的无生命物件,还是生命体本身,都有着对“人”的记忆植入。透过“错位”的幻象与现实的陈列,去观测生命现象中的“迁徙”,对自我与他者、限制与自由等问题进行延展思考。
「迁徙」创作者古佳妮携十口无团创作的第三个60分钟作品,创作始于2018年初,经历了三年“马拉松”式的反复推敲,并携同作品中反复修补的四位人型模特,于2021年首演北京,上海,香港三地,均获得积极反响。作品里,一切的交迭转换都基于人的流动和行为所产生,与其说作品的核心表达为迁徙,不如说三年来作品内部人员的流动和地点的变迁过程更是彻底缱绻于“迁徙”这一主题。事实上作品早在疫情之前就已形成框架,在2020纽约第一波疫情高峰期后,创作者回到北京最终定稿。作品本身不一定是对世界正在发生事情的直接评论,而是通过她标志性的身体动力探索和视觉语汇对万物“变迁”这一主题进行的一系列探索。

TRANSITION

The new piece from the emerging choreographer Gu Jiani is titled “transition”, an idea that was actually formed prior to the pandemic, but then gradually found its form and voice through the time of crisis and finalized after she had escaped New York to her home coutry. The work itself is not necessarily a direct commentary on what’s happening in the world nor a conscious reflection on what she has to deal with during this turbulent and transitional time, but rather an exploration on the theme of “change” through her signature body dynamics and visual vocabulary. What is “transition/ change”? how it can shift/effect human psyche on an subconscious level? where is it located in relation to body and movements? how it effects the relationships between humans and objects as well as space? Within these questions and motives as her creative sources, and through her ever evolving exploration, the choreographer, the dancers and the spectators will begin a dialogue on the meaning of her/his own transitional experience, and how these experiences have conditioned and shaped us in this place where we inhabit ourselves - earth.
“Transition” is the third 60-minute piece from Gu Jiani and Untitled Group. Since 2018, it went through three years of creation phase with constant changes of dancers and rehearsing places. The idea and basic structure was formed prior to the pandemic, and the piece was finalized upon Gu Jiani’s return to Beijing after a stay in New York during the climax of the pandemic. The piece itself is not necessarily a direct commentary on what’s happening in the world nor a reflection of her journey through this turbulent time, but rather an exploration on the theme of “change” through her signature use of body dynamics and visual vocabulary.
