國際知名編舞大師半命題舞作
平衡與失衡的概念探索

《14天創作挑戰》是一次先鋒創作，也是對於編舞家創作方法的一次探索。哈維爾·德·弗魯托斯(Javier de Frutos)、伊萬·佩雷斯(Iván Pérez)、克里斯多夫·威爾頓(Christopher Wheeldon)、克雷格·雷沃爾·霍伍德(Craig Revel Horwood)4位國際知名編舞家以「平衡與失衡」為靈感，分別為舞團創作4支短作：《文如其名》(The Title is in the Text)、《人類動物園》(Human Animal)、《我們》(Us)、《標識線》(The Indicator Line)。

弗魯托斯的《文如其名》以蹺蹺板為核心裝置，探索其如何讓平常的舞步變得非凡；佩雷斯的《人類動物園》探討人類的動物性與非動物性的顯露與制衡；威爾頓的《我們》最為直接易懂，這支雙人舞將信任、支撐、平衡等物理元素轉化為一個浪漫故事；霍伍德的《標識線》帶有百老匯式的粗狂和色彩，背景靈感來自19世紀澳洲一場金礦礦工反抗殖民當局的武裝起義。這4支舞作都在14天內創作完成，風格與創作方法迥異，但出色的編排與狀態超群的舞者都令人眼前為之一亮。

Fourteen Days is a thought-provoking exploration about the methods artists employ to create their work. Given just fourteen days, 4 internationally acclaimed choreographers worked with 4 world-renowned composers to make 4 new commissions that challenge and stimulate both the audience and the dancers. Highlighting the diversity of styles and approaches, the show plays with the concept of balance and imbalance and proves to be an exciting, varied programme of dance and music.

Choreographer Javier de Frutos paired up with composer Scott Walker to create The Title is in the Text, choreographer Iván Pérez made Human Animal together with composer Joby Talbot, and choreographer Christopher Wheeldon teamed up with composer Keaton Henson to create Us. The final piece, The Indicator Line, was made by choreographer Craig Revel Horwood with music by composer Charlotte Harding.
