I have chosen the rehearsal hall on the second floor of the Shanghai International Dance Center as the main exhibition space. This area includes a main hall, a long corridor, and four separate rehearsal rooms. The layout allows for flexible division into different themed zones and provides an immersive experience for visitors. It helps bring audiences closer to the sense of loneliness faced by dancers.

Dance, as a product of culture and philosophy, illustrates the different understandings and pursuits of beauty against the distinct cultural backgrounds of China and the West. The ballet of 18th century Europe and Tang Dynasty Dance are two important stages in the history of Chinese and Western dance. Although they emerged in different eras and have distinct forms of expression, they share numerous similarities. By comparing and analyzing the ballet of the 18th century and Tang Dynasty dance, we can not only grasp the differences in dance forms but also understand the aesthetic concepts in the East and West, thereby enriching the understanding of beauty.

In the world of performing arts, body language is a silent yet incredibly powerful form of expression. It goes beyond the limits of spoken language—actors can use a single gesture, posture, or movement to convey deep emotions, tell compelling stories, or present profound symbolism. For performers, the body is both a tool and a canvas—a simple motion can reveal joy, sadness, tension, or serenity. But the power of body language doesn’t stop at the stage. It reaches into the hearts of the audience, evoking emotional resonance and creating a shared experience that transcends individual perspectives.
