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, showcases the differing understandings and pursuits of "beauty" within the distinct cultural contexts of the East and West. In the 18th century, Europe began engaging in small-scale trade with China, India, and Turkey, introducing cultural artifacts from regions like China and Oceania to European high society. Meanwhile, during the Tang Dynasty, China absorbed various foreign cultures via the Silk Road, including influences from India, Korea, and regions around Tashkent in present-day Uzbekistan.

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.
