Dancing Stranger/陌生人舞蹈(2015)
To create an unsafe situation for strangers dancing together. You wouldn’t know who you are going to meet, how the person would react to you, and how the whole thing would go on. You have to be sensitive to communicate and fulfill yourself in an intimacy relationship with a stranger under the unsafe but exciting conditions.
The project is inspired by Andrew Schneider and Tatia Pilieva.
创造一个环境,让素不相识的人在一起交流,这或者是舞蹈,或者是行为,或者只是两个陌生人在一起的一段时间。你不知道这个人是谁,不这道这个人会怎样回应,也不知道整件事会怎样发生。你需要让自己在那一刻真实地存在,事情会慢慢发生。
Knowing-that 舞蹈认知
Performance with workshops, 2015

Knowing-that is an on going project to culture the individual, collaborative, and collective cognition of dance. In a series of activities, a dance performance is constructed in which writing, drawing, talking, doing, and moving become central ploys in re-enactment of the idea of DANCE. And the dance performance is rooted in the reenactment of unlikely scenarios, spatial designs, a chaotic music and absurdity.
Knowing-that is a trial to understand what is the truth of Dance and what the truth of dance can be presented in other forms. Knowingthat is itself just a special case of Knowing how(to dance). The work is to reveal the truth of dance which Dance is not just a skill of doing/moving, but a way of thinking.
舞蹈认知是一个正在进行的艺术项目,它将培养个体、集体和协作的舞蹈认知。在一系列的活动中,写,画,说,做和动等日常交流元素将成为对“舞蹈”概念反思的主要手段,将“真实的舞蹈”在不同形式上演绎。据此演化,一个舞蹈表演将在虚弱的剧本、潦草的空间设计和混乱的音乐及怪异的行为运动中款款呈现。
舞蹈认知是一次理解舞蹈的“事实”及其不同变形可能的尝试。舞蹈认知究其本质而言不过是一种特殊的舞蹈能力(即如何舞蹈)。这个艺术项目,透过一系列的事件揭露了一个这样的事实,舞蹈不仅仅是一种技术能力,也是一种思考的方式。

---A Solo Exhibition by Guo Rui
无题 的个人展演

An attempt to make a selfportrait by tracing my Chinese folk dance study in the past and questioning the vision of the world in which I’m living.
The solo exhibition is constructed in three different parts, two live performances and one installation.
这是一个简短的自传作品,通过追寻我的过去,中国民间舞的学习,和现在对周遭世界的感悟,书写了一个活在现在的“我”。
这个自传式表演分三部分,分别是两个不同的表演和一个装置展览。
