Backspace
后背的空间
with Yi Zhang, at YogaTown, Beijing

和大地和伙伴共同激发清晰的后背空间，用上这个空间，让四肢跟上这个空间的移动，或让这里支持自己的行动。

整体性的运动
The Integral Movement
with Yi Zhang, at YogaTown, Beijing
Jan. 12 2025

探索身体各部分作为整体进行协作。而当另一些运动加入，另一个生命的意图与自己相遇，这种整体性会被打破吗？还是能够在共生的动态中拓展自身？

扎根，从此地出发
Rootedness: Starting from what is here
with Xuanqi Wang, at YogaTown, Beijing
Jan. 5 2025

从双手、双足出发，探索那些容易被忽略的，微小的支持根系，使它们变得充盈，灵活支持我们的共同运动。

“新年激活身体能量工作坊”: 从共同的土壤生长
Growing from the mutual ground
with Xuanqi Wang, at Times Art Museum, Beijing
Jan. 4 2025

我们如何在自身柔软的身体组织中找到内在的支持？注意力可否成为一种能量？内部支持与外部支持如何具身显化？身体与注意力的关系是什么？意识可以携带多少微小的原子？我意识到自身和空间的潜能了吗？意识又如何影响着空间和他人？

本期工作坊中，我们将在展览中艺术家朱剑非的《通往真理的道路》空间中，通过具体练习来探索关于注意力与意识的潜在可能，从单人到双人、多人练习，从自身局部走向整体意识，关注动态和注意力发生的起点，意识与能量在空间中通过彼此逐渐拓展。在接触之内，接触之外，从共同的土壤生长，感知静与动在多样的生态系统中得到支持。我们将在移动中实践不同身体的对话，从多维的角度感知身体、意识以及与他人的连接。通过接触、重量和平衡，与伙伴进行的“身体游戏”以及“身体力学”的对话，体验动态中的共享时刻，从这样的实践和观察中回归到身体本能。这甚至不能称之为课堂，更像是交互的实验场域。

与地面相处
Being with the ground
with Tongge Kang, at YogaTown, Beijing
Dec. 15 2024

回到原初的动作，回到与地面的关系，找到头尾和四肢、核心与远端在运动中为我们带来的源动力支持。

从共同的土壤生长
Growing from the mutual ground
with Shuyi Liao, at YogaTown, Beijing
Nov. 17 2024

在接触之内，接触之外，我们从共同的土壤生长。从自身局部走向对双人/多人的整体意识，动觉空间通过彼此逐渐拓展，静与动在多样的生态系统中得到支持。

Responsiveness: the Principle of “In” [Lab Open Day]
相应·相“in”with Shuyi Liao, Xindi Chen, Xuanqi Wang, at Xiaoye Space, Beijing
Jan. 13, 2024

How to grasp the essence of techniques? Considering them as a pathway for probing the application and perception of force, rather than simply a quest for form and aesthetics, opens up a new way of learning.

In Both complex lifting structures and delicate touch, the core principle remains the same - responsiveness: this includes physical responsiveness, tuning among bodily systems, states of consciousness and perception, and the dynamics of support and interaction, among others.

During the Lab Open Day, we will explore together the principles of force. We will observe our tendencies in movement and momentum and learn to adapt our practice to address different kinds of constraint, thereby refining one’s focus in movement research. Besides offering a glimpse into the Lab group's learning and teaching approach, this event is also a collective opportunity for inquiry, observation, and exploration.

如何深入理解技术动作的本质？将其视为一种力量施加和感知的研究途径，而不仅仅是形态追求，将开启怎样的学习方式？

无论是构筑高难的飞行、托举结构，还是细腻的触感交流，其核心都深植于一个朴素的原理——相应：物理学的相应、身体组织调谐层面的相应、意识与感知状态的相应、交流与动态支持层面的相应，等等。

本次Lab开放日中，我们将探究力的原理，通过实际练习，观察自己在动作中的倾向性，学习如何针对动作中的限制，调整自己的练习方法与研究方向。此次活动是Lab小组修习与教研过程的分享，也是一个共同提问、观察、探索与实践的机会。

“One Body”: A Tuning Experiment
 “一个身体”的调谐实验
with Shuyi Liao, at YogaTown, Beijing
Jan. 7, 2024

In this workshop, we will explore dynamic support in duet and group dances. By softening perspectives like “I support you” or “I am supported”, our awareness gradually extends to become a part of our dance partner's body. Sharing “one body”, our awareness thus develops and functions, opening up a space for the imagination of seamless integration.

我们将一同探索双人与多人舞蹈中的动态支持。通过软化“我支持你”、“我被支持”这样的视角，彼此的意识逐渐延展为舞伴身体的一部分。一个“共同的身体”就此发展运作，打开“一气呵成”的想象空间。

Distance, Observation, and Kinetic Interaction
距离、观察与运动
with Yingshuo Luo, at YogaTown, Beijing
Dec. 24, 2023

Starting from our awareness of a handshake, this session is an exploration of interpersonal connections, observational techniques, and dynamic movements across varying proximities. We will engage in a nuanced understanding of spatial dynamics and investigate the impact of visual engagement on bodily expression and kinetic communication. Through embodied awareness, each moment of contact and disengagement will be observed, fostering a sophisticated, non-verbal exchange.

从一次简单的握手开始，我们将一同探索不同距离下的连接、观察和运动方式，感受空间变化以及观察视线如何影响身体语言和运动交流，以全身的感知捕捉每一次接触与分离，发展一段非言语“对话”。

Vision and Space 
视觉与空间
with Zeyao Zhang, at Zhulinshuyuan, Beijing
Dec. 17, 2023

Starting from somatic exercises related to vision, this workshop explores eye movements to relax the spine, open up our vision, and experience how our gaze and peripheral vision interact with the external world.

Space exists both among the stars and within the gaps between our fingers. We are able to observe, traverse, and explore.

In this process, we can't help but ponder: Can changes in gaze, perspective, and consciousness bring about different choices for us?

从有关视觉的身心学练习出发，通过探索眼部运动，放松脊柱、打开视觉，感受视线和余光如何与外界相遇。
空间既在星辰中，也在指缝间。我们可以观察，可以穿梭，可以探索。
视线、视角、意识的转变是否会为我们带来不同的选择？

Mobilizing Attention in Multiple Relationships 
多重关系中注意力的调动
with Shuyi Liao, at YogaTown, Beijing
Sep. 3, 2023

From duet to group dance, this session explores the mobilization of attention in the context of multiple relationships. Shifting from a single point of contact to an understanding of space, gravity, and the coordination of movements within a group, the course utilizes choreographic practices to unlock the dynamics of multiple relationships. Participants will engage in observing, absorbing, and developing a sense of movement quality, all while exploring the modulation of attention.

从双人舞到多人舞，从一个接触点到对于空间、重力、多人运动的把握，本次课程将通过舞谱练习打开多重关系，观察、吸收、发展动作质感，探索注意力的调动。

Spatial Intensity 
空间的浓度
with Shuyi Liao, at YogaTown, Beijing
Aug. 13, 2023

"Contact" Improvisation--It involves not only contact with the body, but also contact and connection with and within space. In this class, we will collectively engage our senses and awareness, using our ears, back, and even skin hair to discern the intensity of information within the space. Moving back and forth between motion and stillness, we will explore how each moment's choices in the body are influenced or unaffected.

“接触”即兴——不仅是与身体的接触，也是与空间的接触和关联。这节课我们将一起调动感官与意识，用双耳、后背、汗毛读取空间里的浓度信息，在一次次运动与静止之间，看看身体每一刻的抉择是如何被影响或不被影响的。
