✦ About the Symposium 关于论坛 ✦
How does a pair of hands give a puppet life? And how does a craft carried across generations keep going in the present?
Moved to Life brings together puppeteers, researchers and cultural practitioners from across Asia, using performance and dialogue to examine how traditional puppetry is passed on, exchanged, and remade for our time.
For many artists, puppetry is not only a performing craft. It is bound up with the shape of their lives. The symposium invites senior artists who have long worked out of sight to step out front and speak about the life they have spent with puppets, the difficulties of passing the craft on, and what has kept them going.
一双手,如何赋予偶生命?一门流传多年的传统技艺,又如何在当代继续传承与发展?
《心生偶动》汇聚来自亚洲各地的偶戏艺师、研究者与文化工作者,通过展演与对话,探索传统偶戏的传承、交流及当代创生。
对许多艺师而言,偶戏不只是一门表演技艺,更与他们的人生紧密相连。论坛将邀请长期隐身幕后的资深艺师走到台前,分享他们与偶相伴的生命故事、传承所面临的挑战,以及技艺得以延续的动力。
