TJIMUR Arts Festival
Situated in the far-away mountain tribe in Pingtung, Tjimur Dance Theatre is Taiwan’s first professional Paiwan dance company. As its TJIMUR Arts Festival celebrated the third anniversary, it welcomed the contemporary visual artist Heidi Voet from Belgium and the performance artist Anchi Lin from TNUA’s Department of New Media Art. These two artists are recommended by the principal investigator of this USR project, Prof. I-Wen Chang, as the festival’s residential artists to present exciting experimental interdisciplinary collaboration.
At this year’s TJIMUR Arts Festival, the IMCCI international students from Thailand, Belize, Honduras, Canada, and Guatemala also served as international lecturers to lead workshops on Thai dance, Belizean paper sculpture, kites for El Día de los Muertos, and Piñatas figurines, introducing the cultural and artistic elements from Latin America, even though rarely seen in big cities, to the mountain tribe in Southern Taiwan and sharing the fun with local children and adults. Meanwhile, Thachaporn Supparatanapinyo and Warangtip Emmy Singhakarn from Thailand integrated the four-step of the standard Thai folk dance (while the traditional Paiwan dance is also four-step), a practice compulsory in Thailand’s education system for all Thai people between 6 and 18, with the two-part harmony of traditional Paiwan tunes to challenge the taboo of traditional Thai dance by experimenting with a contemporary cross-disciplinary attempt. The activities in the workshops eventually lead to a profound and inspiring cross-cultural discussion afterward on issues concerning the training of the dancing body, construction of national identity, and preservation of tradition.
