(Central News Agency reporter Zhao Jing-yu, Taipei, 13th) The National Theater and Concert Hall (NTCH)'s "Art Zero Distance Project" has for the first time shifted its focus to schools in mountainous areas of the main island, launching the "Mountain Project." The first stop is Guangfu Township, Hualien County, inviting 120 students from Guangfu Industrial and Commercial Vocational High School and Fuyuan Junior High School to participate, bringing artistic nourishment into the students' lives.
According to news released by NTCH, since its launch in 2007, the "Art Zero Distance Project" has cumulatively invited nearly 70,000 people to experience performing arts at the venue. This year marks the first year of the "Mountain Project," which creates a complete learning path, extending from physical experience to the theater, through in-depth connections with "Dance Workshops," "Theater Tours," and "TIFA Taiwan International Festival of Arts Program Viewing."
This year, NTCH resident artist Wang Yu-kuang and dancer Li Yin-ying led the "Micro Light Manufacturing" dancers into schools, guiding students to feel movement, understand their bodies through physical rhythm, and establish a preliminary understanding of contemporary dance. Students also went to NTCH for an in-depth theater professional experience, and finally entered the theater to watch the international classic dance performance "Moss on Stones," completing a cultural practice from learning to viewing.
Fuyuan Junior High School students reported that after the preliminary courses and tours, they used to not know what to pay attention to when watching performances, but this time they would look at the dancers' expressions, movements, and even how the lighting changed, feeling that the entire performance was more complete. Guangfu Industrial and Commercial Vocational High School students said that their bodies can have many different ways of imagining, and they can also communicate with classmates through dance, feeling that emotions can also be released.
Wang Tung-sheng, Manager of the Public Communication Department of NTCH, stated that "Art Zero Distance" is not just about bringing students into the theater, but more importantly, establishing a path of understanding and feeling before entering. "When children can make connections while watching, at that moment, art truly happens. We hope this experience can become an important starting point for their continued contact with culture in the future." (Edited by Chang Ya-ching) 1150513
