Keep seeking representation.
Feel free to reach out. 🙏🏻

Progress, change, level-up, chaos.
All at once.

After all,
Thanks 2025, and I’m gonna leave all the chaos behind,
and carry on with my current best version.

匆匆短暫回台的11月，
訂完機票後的一個起心動念，
我跟哥哥提了一個不情之請。

兩週不到的時間練完、雕動作、錄影。
雖仍總感覺不盡完美、還可以也好想再更好，
但哥哥說，
這就是現在的我最好的樣子。

不會停在這裡的。
下次會更好。2026會更好。

PS
I never thought about dancing this piece on heels when I first learning it;
I felt that my dearest choreographer Alex probably hasn’t either.
Yet then eventually I chose to dance it on my Laura boots. 😉
Felt like my thighs were burnt. 🔥

很久之前第一次學這段組合的時候，
從沒想過要穿跟鞋跳；
親愛的編舞家永同本人應該也沒想過😆
但我最後不怕死地硬穿了三寸的Laura。
差點把自己大腿燒壞在這裡。

The last post of 2025.

2025過得既快速又漫長，時間感忽快忽慢。
我感覺很多事都已經過去了好久，卻都在這一年內發生。
到年底已經有一種不知道自己在過哪一年的感覺。

2026的目標與願望已許好，很實際很簡單：
1. 成為在英國的qualified DMP
2. 申請到graduate visa，繼續在英國打拼兩年，並拿到下一張存留許可
3. 開始有任何形式的舞台劇場作品/合作

然後繼續一直跳舞。

Thanks @vinyji.photograph & @allieam for these powerful and beautiful captures.

It wasn’t until we looked into each other’s eyes and created that improv on stage that I finally realised the essence of dance/movement therapy and somewhat reached the destination of my healing process through dance.

—
9 years.
“That’s the real birthday gift you gave to yourself.”
After I told her that the scene this piece was coming from was already nine years ago, and how l felt authentically healed after presenting this, Jasmine said.

I can see that.
Though it wasn’t some masterpiece or milestone or…,
It’s just a small, short, rough, shattered piece. The first brick.

Jasmine also said she wished it could be longer.
That it felt like a trailer for something bigger.

And therefore, I treated it like not just a work-in-progress, but an introduction to the bigger picture I wanted to bring up.

Never be more grateful for the help, all the facilitations, ideas sharings, and all other supports from @creativerework and @riacttz .

And also appreciate @tacychang and Pilar letting me know that sometimes watching other people’s artworks and even revisiting the self that once suffered by watching them, can be therapeutic and healing.

Will definitely bring it with me and keep growing it further.

Maybe not talented, maybe not good enough, but will work so hard to at least become competent enough to tell the story that has been stored and waiting in my body for so long.

覺得最幸運最感恩的是這個創作過程遇到了認識十年來亦師亦友的代代。

甚至沒有說好，我們在課程第一天遇到的時候我只覺得巧合。之後開始工作自己的作品構想，才真的覺得，幹沒有她在我可能這個piece長不起來，至少不太可能一下就長得這麼好。

無論是二話不說（我甚至好像沒有問？）成為我的partner dancer，以及高效率動作諮詢指導（10分鐘把我想做的東西變成可執行的動作然後排完（我的敘述還超級rough）；
還必須自動擔任演出當天我的情緒控管遙控器（對不起我還是這麼不省心🙇🏻‍♀️）

唯一也是最大的challenge大概是我因此必須逼自己更迅速的去盡可能跟上那個我覺得離我還很遙遠的身體素質💦

但這就是進步對吧。
要繼續變好，好到能夠訴說這副身體乘載至今的所有。

對我來說她就像是，存在很久了的設計圖，
終於終於先鑄好了一塊磚，
並且將她小心翼翼擺上展示台。

九年了。
從那個關鍵的瞬間，到現在。
雖然她就只是第一塊磚，不是什麼太偉大的事情，但看著紀錄照片，我發現我還清楚記得當下的感受，以及那之後一路走來的每一刻。

第一場演完後的中場，我告訴其中一位創作指導，我好像直到剛剛在台上，與代欣的角色對望的那一刻，才真的覺得我找到療癒的真正目的地。

不知道有沒有機會繼續做，
但希望能夠有機會繼續灌溉她讓她有機會長得完整。

Join us this Saturday for an evening of new works, creative exploration, and exchange.

Bringing together six artists from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan, currently based in London, this Scratch Night presents developing works across dance, theatre, and body-based performance.

Each artist will share a short performance (10–15 minutes), followed by a conversation with the audience — offering a closer look into their creative processes and the ideas behind their work. Meet the artists and discover their works.

🎟️ Free entry Registration link (or find it in my bio)

DM me if you have any questions.
We look forward to welcoming you🫶 taken in Centre 151 by @liv._.dancing

#DAY1000 #LivInLondon

1000個日子過去，
我將自己活成了自己也沒有想過的樣子。

—
Last month marked the 1000th day of my moving to London, UK.

1000 days.
Time flies so fast and slow.

That was:
A 2-year master’s degree with in-course placement;
3 self-produced reflective short films;
Have only been to Amsterdam and Paris for holidays, yet flew to NYC just for dance;
Facilitating, workshopping, teaching;
Dancing in 2 Short films;
3 Part-times yet still difficult to feed myself;
Keep trying hard to seek creative supports for my project’ S see While becoming

Alex said that 2 years were gonna run fast but I was still doubting.

Now I’m still not sure about how fast time goes, yet there’s one thing for sure:

2 years can change everything.
I never thought I could’ve grown like this.

Wish there’s gonna be another 1000 days
——

前陣子默默迎來我在英國遊蕩的第1000個日子。在這1000個日子裡，我：

完成了帶實習的兩年碩士學位；
學業期間弄了三支self-produced反思短片；
不像其他留學生一放假就滿英國、歐洲跑，
我只去了阿姆跟巴黎（沒錢負擔住宿🫠），
但卻也飛了紐約只為了跳舞；
參加了一堆肢體/編舞/表演工作坊，
後來也自己教課開工作坊；
參與了兩支藝術學校的短片；
經歷畢業口試卡關，差點直接被踢出英國，
（還好最後有幸順利留下來了）；
陸陸續續做了三個不同的part-time，
成為身兼數職的倫敦打工待業表演藝術家，
等人要（沒人要）的同時也挖資源（也挖時間）做自己的製作。

當初來唸書的我，
沒有想過兩年後的我能夠長成這個樣子。
兩年真的可以改變很多事。

努力不跟別人比較，努力消化嫉妒與攀比，
專心用自己的節奏照顧與灌溉自己。

願也能夠慢慢走到下個一千日。

五月。過得很像藝術家的一個月（嗎？終於）。

打工餐廳的同事好會做甜點，覺得幸福；
上個月搬的新家也有貓，還很愛偷跑進我房間逛街。

總而言之，這個月，
接了一場原以為是gig，後來認真要編舞的專場，感到挑戰的同時也才突然很真切地意識到，曾幾何時不知不覺，編舞這件事已經不再是「蛤我不知道怎麼辦」「我有感覺但不知道對不對」，而是”Why not?”, “I can do it.”；

某方面來說意義非凡，因為那代表著我對我的身體、我的存在的自信與理所當然，已經無須刻意。

一對一的特教舞蹈課也開始上課了，學生很有想法，對自己的各種狀態也很了解，一半教學一半共創的感覺很有趣；

還參加了性質不太一樣的舞蹈進修course，學到新東西、辦了一場Scratch Night活動之餘，還遇到了很有趣的connections，一起做很有趣的事，也期待未來合作繼續做有趣的事的可能性。

然後終於把自己的工作坊辦起來惹。雖然比較像是0.5場（測試😅），但是個好的開始，也有清晰的方向想要加進去的東西。

總而言之，打工時數少了，但創造、輸出的時間變多了，
心理上反而開闊、輕盈了許多。
——

不過四月底從巴黎回來後，大病了一週。
導致答應好的事情差點開天窗。
慢慢康復後，五月剩下的時間，
亦學著更有意識地去生活。

有點像是，因為發現身體真的會垮，
所以開始儘量小心待她。

但並非像以前，或是像很多網路雞湯那樣，
起不來就不起來、想睡覺就去睡覺……
不是那樣的。

我反而很認真的，想方設法，挪移調整外部schedule，去讓我的身體能量能夠越來越align with我為自己設定（但一直無法達成）的作息。

比如以往要求自己七點半起床，
但打工很晚就勢必凌晨才睡，我已經很久無法早起了，
總是在打工隔天睡掉整個早上，然後整個下午還是覺得累，並且對於這樣不productive的自己感到罪惡。

以往我總是，嗯跟隨身體，於是導致作息跟著打工走，隔天起不來就不起床，就休息；隨之而來的是只要打工隔天，我心情就容易非常差、覺得自己被困在一個我不喜歡的生存狀態裡；而剛好，五月誤打誤撞的，打工時段少了很多，我順勢不要求多排晚班時段，試著將調整作息到我（本來希望自己能做到）的作息安排。

執行率有達到50%的這幾週，
我發現自己覺得開心、快樂的時刻變多了。
身體累但心不那麼累的時刻也變多了。

六月繼續努力。
既然心有餘力不足是天生，
更要 #巧勁生活。

Oh, and,
Richard’s coming back to Taiwan this summer.
Anyone interested please go to Alex thanks. Xx

So, looking at these photos, I realised that,
I SHOULD be way more confident in myself.

Alex sent me these last week.
Those were me at Richard Pierlon’s W’shop 2 years ago during the summer.
1 year after moving to London.

He said I’ve changed a lot.
I didn’t very much understand what he meant until I saw these pictures.

You didn’t realised how much you’ve already had and how far you’ve been until you see it yourself.

Truly grateful for myself,
That always wanders around self-doubt and self-sabotage, hardly to establish self-belief, yet strangely still never thought of stopping and giving up dancing.

—
是說，這個夏天，
Richard要再度飛到台灣開課惹。
Anyone interested please go to @alex_wang_tw 🤪

上週哥哥突然傳來這幾張照片。
這是2024，我在英國剛待滿一年，暑假回台灣的時候。
我記得那年他說，鬼靈精怪的樣子還在，但整個人氣場不一樣了。

我當時只是很快樂，把它當作表示有進步的肯定。
那晚看到這幾張照片，我突然就懂了。

很多事、很多東西早就已經長進身體裡，
想做什麼就直接去做，毋需懷疑。

有感而發，
感謝一路走來常常自我懷疑、自我貶抑，
卻仍還是不知道為什麼繼續在走著的自己。

If you have your own practice or creative approach and are interested in bringing it to share, test, or explore together in future sessions, you are very welcome. Creatives from all artistic disciplines are also warmly invited to join.

Livvy will also be developing her own independent movement and dance community, and you are welcome to follow her future updates.

The event is free to attend. The registration link can be found below or in my Instagram bio.

Performance announcement 📣

Ok so, First ever choreograph (and dance) for a friend’s album pre-release showcase. 🙌🏻

Yet since everything was all kind of in a rush, and also due to lots of incidents coming up in between, this is taking place tomorrow evening 😆

Thanks @nicole_din_ for this stylistic poster and supporting everything.

莫名其妙就是明天了。

總之，明天打算，也希望可以，在台上放飛🤫
走一個玩樂至上的目標。
Let’s celebrate the playfulness. (?)

維尼縮把這張照片變成阿凡達(?)她覺得很可惜。
原本很漂釀（這話好聽多說點（？🫶🏻

April opening.

Keep working on the body.
The movements, the energy, the arms;

The style.
Don’t waste your long arms.

Keep breathing.
Yet with no pressure to survive.

Daily home improv after cut 🙃
And also after a room viewing with a friend.

My graduate certificate has been sent to my home address safely and beautifully.
That was two years. Can’t believe it just felt like a glimpse. So many happened, hope there are so many about to as well.

Will be holding a somatic movement workshop this coming Sunday afternoon.
Let’s find some playfulness and awareness.

昨天是倫敦舞者被cut日常www
晚上臨時又跟朋友去看房子，很充實（？

回家洗澡前想到這首歌。很聖誕節。
突然的就想跳舞。

前幾天收到我妹傳來的照片，
我的碩士畢業證書安全寄到台灣的地址啦！
沒有折損，安全平整的送到惹🎉

兩年半就這樣不知不覺就過去了。
像哥哥當初說的，兩年很快。
很多事像發生了卻又像過去了很久。

有很多想做的事，在想是否要為生存去妥協。
可是如果在與這裡的緣分只剩這兩年了，
我需要妥協嗎？
