台灣驫馬劇場10/24羅德島設計學院禮堂演出

駐波士頓台北經濟文化辦事處新聞組昨(十三)日公佈,台灣的第一個純男子舞團「驫馬劇場」將於10月24日晚8點,在羅德島州普域敦斯市羅德島設計學院禮堂(Rhode Island School of Design Auditorium)做兩場「速度」演出。
羅德島州普域敦斯市藝術文化及旅遊局和「第一有效(FirstWorks)」合作舉辦的「2009第一有效節(FirstWorks Festival 2009)」,是一個為期七週,從九月廿四日進行到十一月十五日,為誌記音樂、活動影象、文化傳奇方面的美國大師,以及創新的馬戲劇場、前衛的數位藝術,以及由羅州藝術家所創作特別項目而舉辦的系列慶祝活動。
這將是來自台灣的這「驫馬劇場」,首度在美國校園演出,推廣台灣的舞蹈藝術。
經文處新聞組表示,「驫馬劇場」是5名熱愛舞蹈的新生代男性表演工作者,2004年攜手創辦的舞蹈團。他們希望呈現自己對當代城市男性身體之美的觀察,跳出新世代男性身體的性格與氣質,反映時代的變遷與美學的差異。
十月廿四日他們講演出的「速度」一舞,展現舞者在遊戲中探索速度,在樂趣中發展出對時間、距離與演進的觀點,充滿挑戰性。
「驫馬劇場」曾於2008年及2009年兩度應邀赴紐約演出,皆獲紐約時報好評,得到主流媒體關注,已具國際知名度。
經文處新聞組表示,紐約時報藝評家Jennifer Dunning看過他們的表演後表示,「驫馬劇場是一個來自台灣迷人且充滿想像力的全男子舞團…他們的作品猶如一場饗宴,各個舞段爭奇鬥艷,舞者展現輕快敏捷的肢體與精湛的戲劇天賦」。
