原地漂移 Dérive à NangangXizhi
2022

Dérive à NangangXizhi takes choreographer Ning Wang’s birthplace and longtime residence—the Nangang and Xizhi districts of Taipei—as the point of departure. Abandoning habitual postures of walking, Ning uses improvisational movement to reconnect with familiar cityscapes. The body becomes a perceptual instrument, drifting through alleyways, subtly intervening in and unsettling the spatial logic and atmosphere of everyday urban life.
The work draws inspiration from Théorie de la dérive, proposed by French philosopher Guy Debord in 1956, which emphasizes wandering without predetermined routes in order to activate heightened awareness within the urban environment. Through this lens, Ning opens up new dimensions of experience in seemingly mundane spaces, seeking alternative connections with the city.
Dérive à NangangXizhi is not only an improvisational physical intervention, but also a proposition for perceiving and thinking about the city differently. Through live interaction between body and space, the work invites audiences to rediscover the strangeness and agency embedded within everyday urban terrains.

《原地漂移》是王甯以其出生與長期生活的台北「南港汐止」地區為創作起點。他捨棄日常行走的慣性姿態，透過即興舞蹈重新連結熟悉的城市街景，以身體為感知工具，在街區巷弄中穿梭、介入、擾動，使場域原有的秩序與氛圍被鬆動。

  
作品靈感來自法國哲學家居伊·德波於1956年提出的「漂移理論」（Théorie de la dérive），強調在城市中放棄預設路線與節奏，以隨機遊走的方式開啟感知。企圖在看似熟悉的空間中打開新的感受維度，嘗試與城市產生不同層次的連結。

《原地漂移》不僅是一場即興式的身體介入，也是一項觀看與思考城市的提議，藉由身體與空間的即時互動，邀請觀者重新認識日常場域的陌生感與能動性。
