幫助大家找回身體與自己的平衡

Welcome to Fast and Slow Studio

In our workshops, we use the moving body as a medium to explore painting and creative art forms to help us reach a state of mind-body connection. We use somatic methods inspired by yoga, post-modern dance, and kinesthetic awareness to help us become more aware of our bodies as we are exploring artistic expressions that enter in dialogue with our body. The term Fast and Slow was originally inspired by a book called Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman. The idea of fast and slow refers not only to the fast and slow movements of the body, but also in the way we feel the rhythm of life - fast and slow.

王譯薇 1987年出生於台灣彰化,成長於厄瓜多、墨西哥和祕魯。童年時期浸於以繪畫描繪佛教、中美洲及前哥倫布時期的神話故事,年幼時期即開始學習書法,對書法以單一筆畫即能傳達各種力度及個性的變化感到深深著迷。她在青少年時期透過祕魯劇場團體CUER2開始接觸肢體劇場,該團體讓她學會以即興、有機的肢體動作做為建構敘事的表達語言。這些早年的經驗形塑了王譯薇汲取東亞書法、塗鴉、石窟壁畫、姿態抽象(gestural abstraction)、即興舞蹈、芭蕾舞蹈等元素所生成的繪畫語彙。2019 年師事法國畫家 Philippe Cognée 。繪畫創作 Running Fast and Slow 於2021 年入選桃源國際藝術獎。畫作近期於桃園市立美術館,法國Galerie Loire 及 Le Dôme 表演劇場展出。2009 年於美國賓州大學工程學士畢業,2022 年於法國 TALM 高等藝術設計學院藝術系 (D.N.S.E.P.) 碩士學位畢業並獲評審祝賀。目前創作探索如何將芭蕾動作運用在書法性筆觸的扭轉力。

​Born in Taiwan (1987, Changhua) and raised in Ecuador, Mexico and Peru, WANG Yi-Wei spent a lot of her childhood drawing Buddhist, Mesoamerican and pre-Columbian mythologies. She learned Chinese calligraphy at an early age, fascinated by how variations in energy and personality can be transmitted through a single brushstroke. As a teenager, she discovered physical theater with the theater group CUER2 from Peru, introducing her to using improvisational organic body movements as a language to construct a narrative. These early experiences have helped shape a painting vocabulary inspired by East Asian calligraphy, graffiti, cave paintings, gestural abstraction, dance improvisation and ballet. In 2019 she studied painting with French painter Philippe Cognée while working in his studio. In 2021 her painting Running Fast and Slow was selected as a finalist of the Taoyuan International Art Award. Her work has recently been exhibited at Taoyuan Museum of Fine Art, Galerie Loire, and Théâtre Le Dôme in France. from the School of Art and Design TALM (2022) with congratulations from the jury. She is currently exploring how to use ballet movements to create a torsion force in the calligraphic brushstroke.

We travelled to Sanchong to learn from master ink brush craftsman Chen Yao-Wen. He showed us his lifelong ink brush masterpieces and the different bamboos that grow on the island to make ink brushes. We learned the traditional handcraft of tying an ink brush tip and Mr. Chen's masterful calligraphy carving skills. In his 70s, his eyesight is as sharp as ever!

Wishing everyone
💚 福 Happiness

Flow with the rhythm of nature 🌱
Calligraphy in Movement Workshop

As our breathing expands and flow through the body, our movements become more aligned with the natural rhythms of nature. Our expressions flow more freely, as if dancing with the nature's flow.

Last year we participated in the Documentary Voyage en Autistan: Taïwan de Josef Schovanec, where we invited French philosopher, writer, and autism advocate Josef Schovanec to participate in our Calligraphy in Movement workshop during the documentary episode on Taiwan.

In the first part of the workshop we introduced Josef Schovanec to the art of traditional Chinese calligraphy. We looked at the history and evolution of Chinese writing and the basic tools and brushwork in calligraphy. Joseph wrote a character 吉, which he later expanded onto the dance floor in the Calligraphy in Movement workshop.

In the second part of the workshop, we invited Josef to participate in our Calligraphy in Movement workshop. In the first part we started by lying on the ground, where we used a guided imagery flow to guide breathwork throughout the body and center the focus on the body. We then slowly started to explore movement and it's connection to cursive calligraphy. In the final part of the workshop, we started to paint on the dance floor using a large scale brush that we borrowed from Taiwan's ink brush expert Chen Yao-Wen 陳耀文.

In the beginning Josef was mostly moving in the center of the dance floor, but as the dance and calligraphy between Yi-Wei and Josef progressed, there was a very magical synergy that started to happen, in the way he expanded his movements and presence throughout the whole dance space. We felt a certain sense of freedom, expansion, and connection with the body throughout this very beautiful and emotive dance and calligraphy flow.

I am sharing some of the photos that we took during the workshop to document this very wonderful moment.

You can see this very beautiful moment in the episode Voyage en Autistan: Taïwan de Josef Schovanec available on Canal+ and Apple TV France.
