吳郁嫺是一名獨立編舞者、表演者、舞蹈教師和研究者，長期聚焦在多種身體經驗的探索上，他的研究領域為街舞及其相關之文化研究，自2005年起，多次跟隨街舞脈絡中的重要原創者和世界知名舞者學習，擅長Locking、Popping、Animation、Hip Hop等風格，也曾接觸佛拉明哥、舞踏與巴西柔術的訓練。他的舞蹈歷程聚焦在跨文化、跨領域的學習、探索和實踐，嘗試將相異的美學、文化間的辯證與思考放進他的作品之中。

 

他視創作為一股反叛的能量和意識，企圖將這樣的意識和能量轉化為具體的舞蹈語言，跳舞作為一種反抗的形式，創作則成為他實踐社會參與發聲的場域和管道。他現階段的作品聚焦在探討性別、認同、權力和規訓與舞蹈間所開展的對話關係，並企圖挑戰街舞生態中的性別框架。他冀望透過創作的實踐，以女性的視角和經驗，為長期由男性主宰和擁抱陽剛氣質形象的街舞藝術，注入更多元的樣貌，拓展更寬廣的創作與研究視野。

YU-HSIEN WU

​

​Wu Yu-Hsien is an independent choreographer, performing artist, and researcher based in Taiwan. After years of intensive dance training as a young person, Wu began to question the limiting power dynamics at play in institutionalized dance education and embarked on a journey of self-directed training. As a dance artist, Wu focuses on exploring dance forms and bodily aesthetics historically excluded from institutional dance training such as Street Dance (Locking, Popping, Animation, and Hip Hop), Flamenco, Butoh, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

​

Wu’s works have appeared at Melbourne Dance Massive, Taipei Arts Festival, We Island Dance Festival, and Chiayi New Style Choreography. In addition to their independent works, Wu has collaborated as well with fellow artists in the fields of music and theatre to develop works in different forms and media, such as Horse Dance Theater, Su Wei-Chia, Wu Su-fen, Hsiao TzuTien, Pisuy Ciyo, and Chen Ying Yun.

​

Wu regards choreography as a rebellious energy and consciousness and tries to transform this consciousness and energy into a specific dance language. In this way, the dancing body becomes a form of resistance and social participation with the power to create new ways of being in the world. They also respond to the gender conventions of street dance and explore the possibility of creating a degendered street dance body.
