Profile
Born in Keelung in 1950, Lin was already making dances with students from other departments while studying at Chinese Culture College. Later, as a teacher at Chang An Girls’ High School, she used her students’ voices in dances for a cast of a hundred. She presented her own work at Taipei’s Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall in 1978.
Miroirs de Vie (1995) draws on Ghost Festival rites. It travelled to France’s Val-de-Marne in 1997 and to Avignon in 1998. In Hymne aux Fleurs (2000), the focus shifted to the natural world. It played at the Lyon Dance Biennale that year.
Nine years later, The Song of Pensive Beholding closed the trilogy at Taipei’s National Theater. Its story follows a clan of eagles. Watch a single dancer place a foot, then take in how far the line has moved across the stage.
