Profile
Born in 1972 in Jialan, Taitung, he reclaimed his Paiwan name while studying dance. He joined Cloud Gate in 1996, choreographed for the Martha Graham Dance Company and co-founded LaFa with Fang-Yi Sheu in 2007. He set up Bulareyaung Dance Company in Taitung in 2015.
For LUNA, performed in Taichung in 2018, the dancers learned songs from Bunun singers in Lona. An elder demonstrated a hunter’s call that recounts a hunt. The dancers had never hunted. Bulareyaung asked whether each could call out something they had actually lived.
The elder agreed. In the choreographer’s account of rehearsal, each dancer wrote their own words. Hearing the voices in turn is a way to hear both where the form came from and who is speaking through it.
