王 甯

I Am My Body: Ning Wang condenses memory and emotion into a 15-minute performance, where Ning Wang uses movement, verbal articulation, and interaction with the audience to reflect on two central forces in her life: dance and her mother. Drawing on the idea of the chimera—a hybrid being—Ning explores how the self carries memory across absence and coexistence, and imagines a fluid, multifaceted female identity. Here, dance becomes not only a form of expression, but also a profound lens through which to contemplate life and gender roles.
This piece was part of I Am My Body, a program curated for We Island Dance Festival, which featured 16 dancers in a 6.5-hour dance marathon. Spanning genres from contemporary to street dance to Burmese traditional dance, performers from different generations came together to tell stories through their bodies—each solo a kind of living “business card,” offered in answer to the question: Why do we dance? And how does dance mark a life?
在《身體我的名片》中，王甯以15分鐘濃縮自身記憶與情感，透過肢體表現、對話與觀眾互動，講述他生命中兩個重要核心──「舞蹈」與「母親」。他藉由「奇美拉」（chimera）嵌合體的想像，探索個體如何在消逝與共存之間延續記憶，並描繪一種越界而多元的女性形象。舞蹈在此不僅是表達的方式，更成為他對生命與性別角色的深刻凝視與回應。
本作為「樹林跳：跳島舞蹈節」策畫節目《身體我的名片》的一部份，該節目集結16位舞蹈家，進行長達6.5小時的舞蹈馬拉松接力演出。來自當代舞、街舞、緬甸舞等不同舞種與世代的舞者齊聚一堂，以身體說故事，他們如同遞出名片般，分享他們為何而舞，以及舞蹈如何成為生命的印記。
