仰望星空
整片天空在對我說話
凝視我
超越了記憶時間的凝視
今夜之前我卻從未感受到如此
恩寵
當整個世界不斷給予
當我只是存在
而意識到整個生命是一份禮物
/
It has become now
impossible
to not be intimate
with the world
A sense of closeness is always there
A whisper
that instantly fills me
with love
If one becomes ONE with everything
around, inside and out
If I can no longer separate the love I find everywhere
If I am in everything
And everything is in me
There is nowhere else to be
I have already arrived
dimension of life/mind /
It is far, it is close.
It is distant, it is near.
You travel with the speed of mind.
The world is much smaller,
everything can be imagined, can be created in our minds.
It is our mind, made very real, touchable, breathable.
想像力之舞 /
練習一
陽光親吻 Sun Kiss
閉眼，打開皮膚的感官，想像一顆溫暖的太陽照耀著你。
讓這顆太陽的溫度升高，越來越大，越來越清晰具體。
用你的皮膚去感覺它。
太陽在遠方，你在這裡，
你們展開對話。
你是接受者，太陽是給予者。
你是陰，他是陽。
太陽與你一樣大，彼此凝視。
它開始接近，你感受到一股溫暖接近，光芒耀眼，直到他矗立在你身前，龐大而源源不絕的能量體。
你的皮膚正接收太陽的訊息，你接收它的溫度，它的愛，它的光。
你的身體如何承接它的擁抱？
它來到身體四周，緩慢移動，臉頰、下巴、脖子、肩膀、脊椎、間頰骨的縫隙、腋下、手肘、手指頭的縫隙、指甲、腰、臀部的曲線旁、雙腿中、膝蓋之間、腳底、腳跟... 它貼近你，輕柔撫摸身體。
最後來到胸口，心輪，愛的通道。
它進入身體。
由胸口開始擴張膨脹，熱力穿透身體結構流向末梢，身體每個角落充滿光與熱。
它要融化每塊僵硬的肌肉、每個僵化的情緒，
融化、融化...
它是無條件的愛，消融所有的不可能，軟化一切。
它浸潤你的思想，抹去陳腐，剩下一道光的河流。
陽光親吻。獻給冬天的身體。
I 我 /
沒有任何外在的人、事、物能夠定義你是誰，
你的身份只是一套服裝
女兒、老師、東方人、朋友、愛人、學生、藝術家、舞蹈家...
你的過去也無法定義你是誰，
你究竟是誰？
你比你想像中的自己還要豐富，
你，真正的你，無數個你，
正與你的靈魂低語。
你承載了整個宇宙的夢想，
你也是夢。
別被眼前的世界侷限了，
別以為生命只是如此而已，
你正在創造，
你是造夢者，
也是實踐者。
Listening to your being /
Who am I?
Why am I here?
You are very special, there is only ONE of you in the whole world. The way you look, the colour of your skin, your face, expressions, your voice, your words, your body shape, your bones, flesh, your way of moving, your rhythms, your thoughts, your personal history, your hopes, aspirations.... You can not find another you that is exactly the same.
Consider everything of you is made specially for you. It is like a space shuttle, equipped with very sophisticated mechanics in order for you to function in space travel, to perform the task you are design to do.
Understand who you are, what you are designed for, is the purpose of life. Nothing of you is a coincidence. You just need to put the pieces together and see a bigger picture of yourself.
Try many things, make mistakes, so you truly understand what works and not works with your mechanics. Even try doing what other people are doing, just to see how impossible to be someone else, so you believe in finding who you really are.
Everyone is special.
Play Instructions /
1. Answer to you inner child. Stand up to your feet, relax your mind and loosen your body
2.Find a comfortable space
3.Put on some music
4.Lose your self completely
I change into a survival mode whenever I try to answer my calling to dance. In a way I have to dance, dance becomes my being.
Dance is everywhere, wherever there is space for it to be-- just the way it is. The task here is how to create this space, it is art, to find creative ways to keep finding space for it.
做自己 /
人因為做自己最喜歡的事而發光，無比的光芒。
做自己喜歡的事做起來簡單又快樂，而且可以輕鬆的做得很好。
我所擅長的，是上天給我的禮物，創造更多快樂的禮物。
欣賞身體 /
跳舞的我，打從心底喜歡自己的身體， 跳起來的時後，身體感覺很美，不是看起來而已，很多個瞬間，我被身體感覺到的美感動。
身體的感動，從舞蹈，擴散到生活裡，走路的時候，吃飯的時候，月台上等車的時候，洗澡的時候，安靜的坐在公園裡的時候。生活也是舞的時候，到處都很感動。
最近，身體教我很多，它是我的媒介，通往整個世界，也通往內在潛藏寶藏的地方。頭腦還來不及反應的時候，身體已經知道了，它讓我學會信任直覺。它真的是我的禮物。
蝙蝠與我 /
黑夜裡穿梭，蝙蝠與我的獨舞。你聽過蝙蝠飛舞的聲音嗎? 翅膀在空氣裡微小的震動。當眼睛所收進的風景是一片黑暗，有溫度的黑暗，你停止依賴雙眼，而啟動了更原始的感官方式。你知道比你想像中的還要多。
舞蹈是我的愛，不論開心或是悲傷，一旦開始跳舞，感覺就回到了家，靈魂的殿堂。不管生命中發生任何事，我終能夠回到這個我最深愛的地方。

Play Ground /
想像，
一片土地、一個空間，
一旦你站在這裡，你就是全然自由的你，
丟掉包袱，脫去掩飾，
你就只是你。
你很輕鬆，
身體很自在，
像是浸泡在海水中，快要飄浮起。
這裡是你的聖殿，
你是你，
你也大於你，
把自己安心地交給這片土地、這個空間，
盡情地舒展開來，
數不儘的創意流露，像是美妙的旋律填滿周圍的空氣。
你的一片土地在哪裡？
如果你想要，它隨時隨地都在你腳下。
它因你而存在，
等待你發現它，等你來玩耍，
只要你決定：
就是這裡。
樂器演奏前是沒有音樂的，
人跳舞之前是沒有舞的，
你無法在他處找到這片土地，
它在你行走之間，
它在你之中。
Body speaking身體說話 /
你想用身體說什麼呢？
你的身體正在說什麼呢？
你的身體展現出你內在的想法
身體為你實現
以千萬種姿態表達
你要用身體說什麼故事呢？
你的身體與一輩子的你
是什麼主旋律
身體是活生生的意識的雕塑
每一片肌肉都是你思想的展現
你用意識刻進身體裡
也從身體刻進意識裡
Love /
Everyday after dance,
I have this intense feel of falling in love again,
I fall in love everyday, with dance.
How is this possible? To love so deeply that I can not help myself but continue to fall.
Martha Graham asked her dancers "Why do you fall?"
She thought falling is to arise again, over and over.
If I answer her question, I would say
"I'm falling for love."
inner landscape內在風景 /
用心之眼
看見內在風景
你成為那風景本身
寧靜的地平線
飽滿的色彩
你成為那壯麗、優美的線條
你是最美的
獨特的美
陶醉在你的美之中
Dance, religiously. /
Beauty /
Beauty is before you,
it is behind you,
it is below you,
it is above you,
it is everywhere around you,
it is within you.
Moving in slow motion /
Arrive at one. Fast.
There is a mental image of one.
You don't think about how to get there because there is not enough time.
But now,
in arriving one,
One, is divided into 10 more smaller moments.
Like in a movie,
at a normal speed, the camera shoots 12 frames of images in one second,
but in slow motion, the camera shoots 24 or 36 images in one second.
When playing, the slow motions frames reveal the delicate moments in between seconds that the eyes can not capture.
In dancing, the dancer creates those delicate moments in their mind, like a map, of the movement path. Each frame is an arrival of its own. All together they create a rich and fullness of a dance.
How do you travel through space?
Even with a short amount of time, there is always a traveling process, with so many delicate moments in between. When this is a practice, become familiar with those moments in between, because they are the flesh and the body of your dance. Until the familiarity is a part of you, grown into your being, into your awareness, dance in slow motion in your mind.
Then let go, and enjoy.
The wings of the back /
holding the sky
in my wings
strong and light
my heart is wide open
to surrender to the world
to embrace the weight of my imaginations
Root of sky /
Energy body/Energy space /
I expand into the limitless of space
like the radiation of light
instantly
fill the mind universe
How do you reach further than the shape of your body?
With imagination.
With the will to reach beyond the visible.
Open your mind, expand the space in your mind.
It is both internal and external.
Why do you reach, or expand yourself?
Because you are a light,
it is the nature of light to shine.
