共享空间专业舞团

创办人马金泉与叶忠文于1998年从美国纽约回国大马发展，成立了共享空间舞团。经过5年的运筹帷幄，2003年终将舞团从业余提升至全职专业艺术舞团，成为本土首个非官方的民间全职性专业舞团，为本土舞蹈历史掀开崭新的一页。舞团英译 “DUA SPACE” ，即喻意交流与共享。
 
舞团在马来西亚扎根发展已有23年之久，曾在中国、韩国、日本、香港、巴基斯坦、印尼、台湾、新加坡、英国、菲律宾、印度、西班牙、秘鲁、智利、阿根廷及巴拉圭，把大马的表演艺术延伸至国际空间。舞团以现代舞及中国舞为经，其他多元舞蹈种类取向为纬，丰富自身舞蹈的气象；作品融合传统与创新，充满着浓烈的大马色彩，成就了舞团的特殊风格、编舞技术及美学。其丰富的创作成绩也因别树一帜的多元性与风格在本地及国际上屡获佳评，落实了“舞进土壤，让根生长”更深广的层面愿景。

DUA SPACE DANCE THEATRE

The founders, Anthony Meh and Aman Yap returned to Malaysia in 1998 and established Dua Space Dance Theatre, initially as a part-time dance company and they successfully promoted Dua Space to a full-time professional contemporary dance company in 2003. ‘Dua Space’ brings the meaning of sharing and interaction.

23 years since its establishment, Dua Space has performed in China, South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Pakistan, Indonesia, Britain, Philippines, India, Spain, Peru, Chile, Argentina and Paraguay, taking Malaysian performing arts to the international scene. The company adopts techniques of contemporary and Chinese dance, adding on elements from other dance genres to enrich its own unique dance language. Its productions combine traditional and modern elements, infusing them with perspectives of local artistic flavours. Hence, Dua Space is said to have successfully established its unique style of dance, choreography and its own interpretation of aesthetics. These not only make Dua Space well accepted by local and international audiences, but also fulfill its motto: ‘Dance nourishes the root of growing arts’, developing dance art in our country to a profound level.

序   诞生 - 无染的白
内容提示: 诞生

Chapter 1    黑白苹果 

以为
一开始是白的
欲望之火舞得狂
吞噬人性
初始的美丢了
所以黑了一切
只是
选择不是在手中吗
原来
一开始是黑的

内容提示:
行于足/ 部落群的游乐 / 关于不同的爱情 / 黑白苹果

Chaper 2. 白里的黑蛇

隐约的温湿诡异
滑溜的杀意
不动声色
嘶
排山倒海的噬食

内容提示:  駶失的 / 繁嘬的黑

Chaper 3. 隐形城市的黑白陌路

五官不见了
麻痹不再是感觉 
正负不结合
照面不接触
都穿了
隐形风衣

内容提示: 小房间/ 隔间/ 自我唯一

Chaper 4. 黑界白界不分的家庭

就是同根所以相煎
伦理颠倒吗
灰的世界
是似非白似黑 
都混合了
睿智全然堕落

内容提示: 快乐小天地/ 相煎

Chaper 5. 黑白倒带

本该是什麽
太浑浊了
看不清
回流返照

痛了笑了
遗失的原始脐带
找回了
一开始可以是白的
选择
在手中

内容提示: 黑天铺地/ 出口

Overture     Birth - Simply White
Hint: Birth

    
Chapter 1: Black & White Apple

Thought
It was white in the beginning
The fires of temptation burn intensely
Consuming and scorching our true nature
What was beautiful is now lost
All has blackened
Just
Isn’t the choice in our own hands
In truth
It was black from the very beginning

Hint:
Walking / Joy of The Tribe/ About The Different Love / Black and White Apple

Chaper 2. Black Snake in The White

Cunningly, stealthily, coiled among the humid dampness
Armed with the razor sharpness of killing intent
Silent...Still...
Shhh……
With a blinding strike, the prey struggles no more

Hint: Diminishing White / Devouring Black

Chaper 3. Black & White Paths in The Ethereal City

Gone are the doors to the senses
Even the memory of numbness has faded
The opposites shall never meet
Flowing and moving but never touching
Cut off from the world
Beneath the invisible barrier

Hint: Little Rooms/ Partition/ Selfish

Chaper 4. A Family Where Black & White Tangled Up

Conflict and discord arising from the bonds of family blood
How did ethics come to be so confounded
In the grey area
Right seems to be wrong, White seems to be black
Everything is muddled and unclear
All wisdom is eroded and weak

Hint: Happy Little World/ Discord

Chaper 5. Reversion of Black & White

What is the origin?
A swirl of confusion
It is unclear
Returning     Recuperating

Severed        Smiled
The link that was lost
is found again
The beginning can always be white
The choice
is in our hands

Hint: The Black Pouring/ The Exit
