只有旅行和藝術可以自己決定

Ne me quitte pas" ("Don't leave me") is a song written and sung in French by the Belgian singer and song writer Jacques Brel in 1959. I might heard of this song in some Chanson albums but first time it had a strike on me was from Almodovar’s film La Ley del Deseo.

Brel’s interpretation is probably the most intensive one which can make one shed tears by only listening to his voice and emotion. The song itself is a drama (or a melodrama), which can be powerful as a theatrical piece. Here is to share the choreography by Maurice Bejart (whose dance I don’t particularly appreciate but who always have great dancers) performed by Elizabeth Ros.

Bambino is a very “internationalized” song. It was originally a Neapolitan song, later made an international hit by Egyptian/Italian/French singer Dalida in 1956. I learned about this song from a Jewish/Andalusian/Algerian artists Lili Boniche sung in Arabic language.

In the downturn, in recent intensive work, this Pet Shop Boy song is quite motivating and entertaining.

“Catch the opportunities and let’s make a lot of money!”

我知道，我無法不看偷天鋼索人(Man on wire)，何謂「挑戰死亡、歡慶生命的夢想」，何謂一生僅有一次(once in a life time)的經歷？

“Incredibly risky, highly illegal, definitely crazy!”

導演James Marsh以30多年前的一次瘋狂事件為主軸，將Philippe Petit的奇人奇事搬上大銀幕，結合平面影像、人物訪談回述與演員演出所重建的情境，以「仿紀錄片」形式，呈現在世人眼前。

Is fusion the trend? Ojos de Brujo (Eyes of the Wizard), an independent band from Barcelona, has become popular in world music and European Pop.

Flamenco is clearly central to their sound, but they definitely not pure flamenco. Their music reflects the past of flamenco and its multicultural roots. Looking at the gypsies themselves, a people from Pakistan, India, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Spain are definite hybrid, diversity, and multiculturalism.

First time I heard of this song was from Almodovar’s 1987 film “La Ley del Deseo” (Law of Desire).

古名伸曾笑稱，被冠上的「資深」兩個字，有很多意涵，但她希望多從正面角度來認知「資深」。在台灣即興表演的領域中，她何止資深，根本就是教母！古老師的自我覺知到了成精的地步，她對於即興的透徹掌握更是超乎身體，即興之於古古的價值意義幾乎等同一種人生哲理了。

星朗老師曾在一堂課後與我們分享關於「即興」的看法，剛好很適合作為「隨之變」的演出迴響，並呼應古老師在演後座談的精華觀點。因此在此把星朗老師的話簡單整理，與喜歡即興的朋友一起分享。
