Graduate alumnus Li Yishao was invited to share her experience in choosing to go to Europe and the preparation process for applying for overseas art tours. Watching her graduate from a student and enter a professional dance troupe, constantly pursuing her dreams, the change of identity and environment is inevitable. Re-examining her identity and believing in her own motivation as a dancer are her powerful beliefs. After graduating from Taipei City University, I was lucky enough to join the Dance Space Dance Company. Over the past five years, teacher Ping Heng’s training has given professional dancers the opportunity to work with choreographers from different countries and backgrounds. Today, she will share the gains and inspirations from these experiences with her fellow students through the workshop. Talking about the ups and downs of the physical and mental collision during the trip to Europe, "Don't rush to make a conclusion before you set out. Plans can't keep up with changes. As long as you are positive enough, fate will push you forward." She constantly reminds her younger students to keep an open mind when facing the unknown and not to give up the opportunity to see the new world because of fear and uneasiness. Remind the younger students to always remember what is the motivation behind dancing? It is not to dance to the music through a very moving body, but to maintain an understanding of the body, curiosity and clarity of motivation. Encourage students to ask questions. We’re all afraid of asking dumb questions. If you never ask them, how do you know what dumb questions are? And only through continuous learning and observation can we understand what the real problem is. # Want to dance is not for other people’s expectations #When the choice is in the hands of others, we also have the right to control
