This Research intends to understand how contemporary dance works constructs their female characters with current cultural and social thoughts. This study focuses on three dance works of three Taiwanese new-generational choreographers that presented female characters- YANG Nai-Xuan in‘‘Les Petites Choses’’, JIAN Hua-Bao in ‘‘Comme une femme’’ and Baru Madiljin in ‘‘Gaze of the Kavaluan’’. By means of participant observation, in-depth interviews and dance analysis research methods, this research collected information about rehearsal processes, the intention of choreography and the dancers’ interpretations. By employing the theories of feminism, the female image and Michel Foucault's concepts of discipline body, this research analyzes how choreographers represented their specific female images, how the dancers interpreted their roles, and the possible meanings of these female bodies on stage. This research summarized that the three dances staged multiple female images and characters due to their choreographers’ different choreographic inspirations and strategies. The staged female images were also influenced by the female dancers' different interpretations from their personalities, daily experience, and training backgrounds. To be concluded, the three dance works presented multiple female images and female bodies due to three choreographers’ concerns about female daily-life experiences and situations and in response to social and cultural thoughts on gender.
