GOLDEN YEARS: The world-renowned Taiwanese dance troupe is to celebrate its 50th anniversary next year by restaging founder Lin Hwai-min’s 1978 work ‘Legacy’

Cloud Gate Dance Theatre’s ongoing 13 Tongues tour in the US has sparked interest in Taiwan, the dance troupe’s artistic director said ahead of three performances in the US capital.
“It has been really exciting,” Cloud Gate artistic director Cheng Tsung-lung (鄭宗龍) said on Wednesday last week, adding that he has received interesting feedback on the tour of the 2016 piece he created based on childhood memories.
Cheng said he was very happy about sharing through the piece what he saw and experienced of the vibrant life and local religious rituals in Taipei’s Bangka (艋舺) area, growing up in the 1980s.
The feedback received from US audience has been intriguing, with some telling him the piece reminded them about past trips to Taiwan, while others said they wanted to visit the country after the show, he said.
Compared with past works presented by the dance troupe before he took over as leader in 2020, Cheng said 13 Tongues has been enriched by the dancers singing and chanting mysterious mantras.
The piece also showcases a different dancing style that is perhaps not aesthetically elegant, but demonstrates a raw energy, he said.
The US tour is Cloud Gate’s first overseas tour in more than two years, after the troupe wrapped up a European tour of 13 Tongues in February 2020 amid the spread of COVID-19 around the world.
Cloud Gate began the tour in Houston, Texas, on Oct. 1, and has since given a performance in Stanford, California, two in Chicago, and at the Eisenhower Theater of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington from Thursday to Saturday last week.
The dance troupe is set to conclude its month-long US tour in California, with one performance scheduled at the Segerstorm Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa today and two at the University of California, Berkeley on Saturday and Sunday.
Next year, Cloud Gate is to celebrate its 50th anniversary by restaging founder Lin Hwai-min’s (林懷民) 1978 work Legacy (渡海), said Cheng, who plans to present a new piece and take it on tour to Europe next year.

高中放榜 錄取分數創史上最高
國中基測下午放榜,各明星高中的分數紛紛創下新高,比去年提高瞭7到10分,像建中最低錄取分數就高達295分;北一女最低錄取分數也要293分;而師大附中男生的最低錄取分數也首度追上北一女,同樣為293分。同樣在293分,隻比建中少2分,其中有158名的學生成績可錄取建中,卻選擇附中,看來明星高中的競爭是真的很激烈。
至於附中的成績首度和北一女同分,補教業者則錶示,可能是男生的自然和數學錶現比較好,因此追上瞭女生的分數。

7分上大學 劉揆嘆:國本將動搖
繼陳總統揚言「動搖國本」也要查清楚拉法葉案之後,颱灣政壇又一位高層脫口說齣動搖國本,原來是行政院長劉兆玄,他說7分也考上大學,顯示高中教育齣瞭問題,教育品管齣現嚴重警訊!過去颱灣最重要的就是「優秀人材」,如果人材素質降低,就等於國本被動搖。考7分也能上大學!這讓行政院長劉兆玄在院會裡相當感嘆。新聞局長史亞平:「人力品質的下降,就會嚴重損害我們的競爭力。」
鏡頭前提到「國傢競爭力會下降」,不過外傳,會中還提到「可能動搖國本」;一句「動搖國本」,也太嚴重瞭吧,到底劉兆玄是怎麼說的?媒體追問,院長終.......
跆拳破金壓力大 選手抵京低調
奧運賽程進行一半,中華隊隻有拿到2塊銅牌,各界將奪金希望,全放在20日即將登場的跆拳道比賽,不過也許是教練擔心選手背負太多壓力,下午包括硃木炎、宋玉麒等跆拳道選手,抵達北京時,都是噤口快閃上車。終於抵達北京,但是跆拳道中華隊,通過機場選手專用通道卻沒有任何掌聲,除瞭楊淑君戴著男友硃木炎送的情侶項鍊,麵帶笑容,其他選手,臉色一個比一個還沉重。
記者:「對奪牌有沒有信心?」中華隊選手蘇麗文:「全力以赴。」隊友:「蘇麗文妳可以上車瞭。」中華隊選手楊淑君:「(壓力)不會啊,就平常心,就是加油。」

想進四強 中華隊不能再輸任一場
奧運棒球比賽0比1輸給古巴後,中華隊的戰績已經落後到1勝3敗,接下來一場比賽都不能輸,不然就無緣晉級四強。這對中華隊來說簡直就是挑戰不可能的任務,總教練洪一中說,希望球員不要有壓力,好好打,我們不是沒有機會。有挫摺纔有進步,前一天的慘敗,真的讓中華隊球員們清醒瞭過來。中華棒球總教練洪一中:「昨天迴去我有集閤大傢,我跟大傢也講瞭一些話,就是說隻要大傢盡力就OK啦,我們不是完全沒有機會啦,那也不要太沮喪,把精神拿齣來!」
雖然對上古巴,中華隊有如吃瞭「大力丸」,但終場還是輸瞭比賽,前進四強之路佈滿.......
