Lin Hsiang-hsiu’s (林向秀) Shouting, set on five women and one man, was an interesting departure from the work I have seen with her Lin HH Dance Company (林向秀舞團), starting from the pounding rock ’n’ roll beat of the opening segment. While Lin was upset that sound problems led to Lo Si-rong’s (羅思容) songs being almost unintelligible, the technical glitches didn’t detract from the strength of the piece, especially the lengthy pas de trois in the second part.
The show left me eagerly anticipating the second half of the Emerging Choreographers program next weekend, which will include works by Huang Huai-de (黃懷德), Wei Kuang-ching (魏光慶), Su Shih-jian (蘇詩堅), Lai Wei-chun (賴韋君) and Tien Hsiao-tzu (田孝慈).
