“Join us,

In a space where time blurs,

where movement bridges the ancient and the present…”

—Co-tempORaRY Dance

Into the Canvas of Time is an interactive movement and craft workshop, expanding from One & Only? 和合而生, a multidisciplinary dance work currently in development by Co-tempORaRY Dance and collaborating artists. Inspired by The Classic of Mountains and Seas, this workshop invites you to explore ancient Chinese myths and landscapes through embodied movement and visual storytelling.

Guided by the artists of One & Only?, participants will experience elements of Chinese classical dance (influenced by Tai Chi) while engaging in creative expression through colours and textures. Through movement and craft, we will connect with the myths that have shaped enduring Chinese cultural traditions. 

No prior dance or artistic experience is needed.

More about One&Only?和合而生

This project is funded by a City of Greater Geelong Arts Project Grant. Supported by Platform Arts.

大家好!我们是 Co-tempORaRY,一个扎根墨尔本的华人现代舞团,致力于在多元文化环境中持续探索和发展具有中国文化背景的舞蹈作品。

我们的新作 One & Only? 和合而生 以《山海经》为灵感,在舞蹈、视觉艺术和文化叙事的交汇中寻找身体与记忆的联系。我们期待着将它带到 Geelong,这个山海相拥之地,与大家一起探索这些古老元素在今天的意义。

本次Into the Canvas of Time 是一个融合舞蹈与视觉艺术的互动工作坊,将融合中国古典舞元素的动作引导,并结合绘画创作。让我们一起“以身入卷”,通过身体感受《山海经》中的奇禽异兽与光怪陆离,用缤纷的颜料、马克笔、彩铅……在泱泱长卷上描绘属于我们的传承与连接。

无需任何舞蹈或绘画经验,欢迎加入!
