陳柏潔2025年劇場創作《在場》，是一場關於「存在」的實驗旅程。作品從個人經驗出發，解構「在場」的多重意涵，邀請觀眾一同進入流動的感知場域。舞台不再是界線，而是共振的空間——在表演者與觀眾的即時互動中，記憶、情感與自我觀察彼此交織。讓每一次觀看成為一次獨特的生成。這不只是一齣表演，而是一場與他人、與自己共處的片刻，一次關於存在的當下實踐。

文/ 陳柏潔

《在場》是一個關於感知與存在的創作。

在經歷不同角色與場域時，我感受到自己不斷在身體與心理之間游移。

有些時刻特別鮮明，彷彿整個人被放大；有些時刻卻像輕輕劃過，難以觸碰。

那些變動與不確定，反而成了我對生命感受最深的痕跡。

於是我讓身體成為容器，讓光、影、物、聲流進來——

透過身體、影像、裝置與舞蹈，拾起散落的片段，

在變動不定的當下，感知自己仍在生成，

如同潮汐，如同夢境，在尚未命名之處，持續發生。

Po-Chieh Chen’s 2025 theatre creation, Possibility of Presence, is an experimental journey into the notion of existence. Rooted in personal experience, the work deconstructs the multiple meanings of “presence,” inviting audiences into a fluid field of perception. The stage dissolves as a boundary and transforms into a space of resonance—where memory, emotion, and self-observation intertwine through real-time interaction between performer and audience.

Each encounter becomes a unique act of emergence. Possibility of Presence is not merely a performance, but a shared moment of being—with others, and with oneself—an embodied practice of existence in the here and now.

–

Written by Po-Chieh CHEN

Possibility of Presence is a creation about perception and existence.

As I move through different roles and spaces, I feel myself constantly shifting between the physical and the psychological.

Some moments stand out vividly, as if my whole being is magnified; others pass by lightly, barely within reach.

These states of flux and uncertainty have left the deepest imprints on my experience of life.

So I allow my body to become a vessel—welcoming light, shadow, objects, and sound to flow in.

Through movement, images, installations, and dance, I gather scattered fragments,

sensing myself continuously becoming amidst ever-shifting moments—

like tides, like dreams, unfolding in places yet to be named.

《舉起手指向星辰》為編舞家陳柏潔受到哲學中「Alteritas」概念的啟發，欲探索現代社會「他者化」現象的創作。透過劇場語彙，反思自我與他者的關係，直視主流文化對於差異的偏見與邊緣化。作品強調「他者」是一種人人可能經歷的身份轉換，流動於模糊的邊界，並邀請觀者重新思索「我們的存在須透過他者映照與確認」的深層意涵。
——————————————————————

我總覺得，「他者」存在於模糊的界線之中。

人們認為「他者」是那些陌生的、與我們不同的人。可是在日常生活裡，當我們與他人擦肩而過、當我們注視新聞影像的片段、甚至當我們凝視鏡中的自己時，我發現這個「他者」就在我們之中，甚至就是我們自己。

《舉起手指向星辰》是我在這個想法中的探索過程。那些「被忽略的面孔」在資訊洪流裡出現又消失的人事物，不斷的被遺忘。故事和臉孔開始模糊、變得遙遠，讓我開始思考對於「他者」感知上的落差。每個個體試圖融入群體，然而過程中，新的界線又不斷被畫出來。

對我來說，這部作品就像一場對話，一場不需要語言的對話。透過劇場藝術的語彙，我希望邀請觀眾一起去感受這種「看見」的瞬間，以此作品為起點，驅動我們前進，重新凝視曾被忽視的模糊邊界。

Choreographer CHEN Po-Chieh is inspired by the philosophical concept of “Alteritas” to explore the phenomenon of “otherness” in contemporary society. Through the language of theater art, she reflects on the relationship between self and other, confronting mainstream culture’s prejudice and marginalization of differences. The work emphasizes that “the other” is not merely an external group but an identity shift that anyone can experience, flowing within blurred boundaries. It invites the audience to reconsider the profound notion that “our existence is mirrored and affirmed through the other.”

—-

I have always felt that “the Other” exists within blurred boundaries.

People often think of “the Other” as someone distant, unfamiliar, or different from themselves. However, in everyday life, when we brush past strangers, glance at fleeting images in the news, or even look into our own reflection in the mirror, I realize that “the Other” exists right here among us — sometimes, it even is us.

This work is my exploration of that concept. The forgotten faces, the overlooked figures, and the stories that emerge and vanish in the endless stream of information — they seem like a continuous process of collective forgetting. These faces and stories fade, becoming distant and blurred, prompting me to reflect on the gaps in how we perceive “the Other.”

In the pursuit of belonging, each individual tries to fit into a group. Yet, during this process, new boundaries are constantly drawn, defining who belongs and who doesn’t.

For me, this work is like a conversation—a dialogue without words. Through the language of theater art, I hope to invite the audience to experience the moment of “seeing.” I envision this work as a starting point, driving us forward to re-examine the blurred boundaries that have been overlooked.

【創作筆記 Artist’s Note】

2024-05-23
文／陳柏潔
Written by Po-Chieh CHEN

《在場》(Possibility of Presence) 的創作動機是從我個人的歷史出發，探索「我存在」的狀態。在不同的時間裡，或者現在進行式中，我身體和內心的感受都以我存在的切身感知來探索，並以一種超然的視角讓我能觀察自己。在舞蹈的結構內，對現有經歷的詮釋──關於自我認同、身份轉換、經歷的事件、靈感與啟發──被傳達出來，那些決定我是否存在的關鍵因素，涵蓋了身體和心理狀態。

《在場》2024年階段發展的版本，被邀請參與臺灣雲門舞集的「2024春鬥─正在進行中」系列節目中演出。在此版本中，我聚焦於從身體當中收集資訊和素材，嘗試不同的風格，並練習符號以及空間實驗— 以一篇個人日記的舞蹈形式來呈現。

在未來的完整作品中，這些素材預計將被解構和重構，並考慮到整體美學和氛圍的詮釋與轉換。這包括將新媒體元素融入我的舞蹈中。因此，我希望繼續在空間應用中嘗試新媒體材料，並致力於發展將編舞、視覺和裝置相互交織的創作結構。預期將會有劇場空間表演的版本，同時也希望擴展至非傳統空間的展覽和特定場所的表演。

The motivation behind Possibility of Presence is to explore the state of “I Exist” starting from my personal history as a point of departure. Across different times and perhaps in the ongoing present, the sensations within my body and my inner self are explored with a tangible sense of my presence, and from a detached perspective that allows me to observe myself. Within the structure of the dance, the interpretation of existing experiences— about self-identity, transitions between roles experienced, significant events, inspirations, and more—are conveyed. These are the pivotal factors that determine whether I exist or not, encompassing both physical and psychological states.

The developmental phase of Possibility of Presence in 2024 was invited by Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan, as part of the “2024 Spring Riot – Work in Progress” series program. For the WIP presentation, I focused on gathering information and materials from the body, experimenting with styles, and practicing symbols and spatial experiments—presented in the form of a dance resembling a personal diary.

In future complete works, these materials are expected to be deconstructed and reconstructed, with different considerations for overall aesthetics and atmosphere. This includes integrating elements of new media into my dance. Thus, I would like to continue experimenting with new media materials (such as lasers) in spatial applications, aiming to continue developing the creative structure that intertwines choreography, visuals, and installations. I anticipate there will be a version of the theater space performance, while also hoping to extend into non-traditional spaces for exhibitions and site-specific performances.
