討論會/工作坊#2 嚴瑞芳

〈Refall〉工作坊 - 以身體想像跌倒的不同意義

Workshop: Refall

[活動以廣東話進行 the workshop will be conducted in Cantonese]

嚴瑞芳這次的創作重點在於詮譯,同樣的事,不同的人可有截然不同的解釋/演譯。在她而言,現在的政治環境這正是最令人敏感的。1982年9月24日,戴卓爾夫人與鄧小平會面討論香港前途問題時,戴夫人會後在人民大會堂不慎跌倒。不同人士各自演釋這下跌倒的意義:有人認為這是英國失去香港的歷史標誌——「這次一跌,跌了香港」;另有說法指鄧小平決心收回香港及在港實行一國兩制的言論,讓戴卓爾驚惶失措,離開時一時不慎,摔了一跤。

這一「跌」更成了嚴瑞芳是次工作坊主題,她將分享創作例子、地板動作、緩慢的動作及互動協作,引導參加者用身體和肢體動作回顧個人跌下的經歷, 分享彼此在跌下躺著中體會到與城市的關係。

工作坊後將視乎參加者意願,邀請參與集體 演出「跌下」作品。

[此活動會進行錄影,用作〈廿年回歸前後話 Talkover/Handover 2.0〉研究、存檔及展覽之用]

On 24th September, 1982, after her official meeting with Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping on Hong Kong’s future, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher felt at the steps of The Great Hall of the People. The dramatic fall resulted in different interpretations by different people with respective concerns and motives.

Taking on the richness of a fall – its forms and its meanings, Yim Sui Fong's workshop, titled 'Refall', will become part of her Talkover/Handover 2.0 project. The workshop will look into some related artworks, and explore a variety of body movements. Through the exploration and practice of all possible ways of falling, and then discussions, participants may gain new insight into the subject.

Participants may join a group performance to be organised by the artist.


Targeted Participants:

  • All are welcome, no prior performance skills needed
  • Individuals who enjoy to express themselves with body movement
  • Aged 18 or above
  • Participants should put on comfortable outfit
