Emotion Does Not Say I (EDNSI) created for Aimer (爱慕) during Pink Ribbon (Breast Cancer Awareness) Month, explores how emotions and the body are interconnected and influence each other from the perspective of meridians in traditional Chinese medicine. Meridians provide a framework for understanding how energy flows through the body, influencing physical health and emotional well-being. By examining how dance, gestures, postures, and rhythms engage with these meridians, the film suggests that movements designed to harmonize and activate these energy channels can potentially enhance emotional awareness—such as joy, sorrow, or passion—and maintain the balance of Yin and Yang.
Driven by my personal experience with the body and emotions, this short film invites viewers to contemplate the profound connection between emotional experiences and bodily expressions, demonstrating how dance can serve as a medium for exploring and articulating the intricate relationship between emotions and the body’s energy pathways.
