In this lecture, we are honored to invite Mr. Benson Tsai, the artistic director of Cheng Dance Production, to share some creative experience with the students of the dance department. "What is creation?" He asked the students in the audience. Some students answered that creation means asking questions, a way of expression, or a medium. However, there are certain restrictions on creation that does not imitate and starts from oneself. Difficulty. Whether it is searching for personal characteristics, perception of all things, or cultivating one's own taste, all these searches indirectly constitute a person's integrity. Teacher Benson Tsai, who has won many awards in international dance competitions and now leads the dance company to be active on the international stage, uses "creation" as the theme to discuss face-to-face with students - the application of contemporary dance choreography, and shares his own creative experience without hiding anything. and practical techniques, allowing students to have a further understanding and thinking about creation. For students, it can be said that they have received the "Secret tips of Dancing and Creation" personally taught by Master Benson Tsai. During the process, Teacher Benson Tsai also mentioned a point of view to the students: inspiration is everywhere and art is everywhere. It reminds students that the accumulation of taste is in daily life. Understanding life, the pursuit and paranoia of life can help students find representative symbols in the future, and then shape their own future possibilities. sex. And how can we not only present the process, but also find our own language on the journey of "finding our body" and "finding ourselves"? This lecture seemed to open an opening for the students to think about "the meaning of creation". This may be a long journey of search. I am grateful for the company of art, which adds a lot of rich organicity to life. I am also grateful. Teacher Benson Tsai brought substantial exchanges to this afternoon.
