Recently, performing arts has developed diversely. In order to be creative, more and more choreographers have tried to involve more different elements in their choreographies. This study takes Dance Forum Taipei’s Eastern Current an example to discuss how the choreographer, Yang Ming Long, integrates the two different kinds of movements of Peking Opera and Post-Modern Dance and develops a new style performance of body movements.
The researcher integrates “Qualitative Research”, “Case Study”, and “Choreology” as the main research method which includes the methods of reference analysis, interview record, case study, assistant usage of video image, and choreography analysis to analyze synthetically the context of movements, choreography structure, movement efforts, and different elements in the choreography. In the second chapter, the researcher finds the different kinds of movements has each own unique characteristics by discussing the different cultural developments and the diversities of training performers’ body in Peking Opera and Post-Modern Dance. In the third chapter, according to the interview records of the choreographer and performers, the researcher discovers the physical and mental conflicts of dancers and Peking opera actors in their rehearsal practice, and how they change the efforts of Peking Opera movements in Most-Modern Dance form to present a new style performance. In the fourth chapter, the researcher integrates the three choreography record analysis—Stylistic Macrostructural Analysis, Macroanalysis, and Effort Elements. In Eastern Current, the researcher discovers the movements of this choreography have both characteristics of Peking opera and Most-Modern Dance. The elements and characteristics of every movement suggest the regularity of Peking Opera and the unpredictable Most-Modern Dance. In Eastern Current, the characteristics of Peking Opera movements which have the quality of direct and low body weight are affected and transformed into stable and unpredictable characteristics by Most-Modern Dance with the usage of repetition, expansion, and contraction.
After analyzing the choreography, the researcher discovers although Yang Ming Long has some difficulties and conflicts during creating the choreography Eastern Current for Dance Forum, he transforms and integrates successfully the two different kinds of movements which look like matched and correspond to each other in the choreography into an unstable and new style performance including the properties of Peking Opera regularity and Most-Modern Dance diversity.
