AM CDCT Coming home Project for VDMT

Video movement instruction for Project COMING HOME, organized by Vietnam Dance Movement Therapy & Saigon PsycHub, funded by Irish Aid and CSDS. ---- 🗨 Authentic Movement is a dialogue between you and the self, where you make your own choice to move, to sit, to think, to listen, to hold, to release, to connect, to contain and the journey goes on. 🗣👤Authentic Movement forms a relationship between you and your movement partner. This partnership likes a marriage. You need to work through the challenges, enjoy the happiness and experience the discomforts. You learn to negotiate, to compromise, to defeat, to surrender. You learn to deal with the consequences, accept the loss and prepare to move on. 🏃‍♀️ 🌍 Authentic Movement is a connection between you and the surroundings. This is where you learn to live with the mundane, to recognize the subtle changes within the boring routines and walk the same path with new perspectives. 🛤 Surprisingly, a new door opens every day and the path is never the same. ----- Dự án TRỞ VỀ NHÀ 2021 do Trị liệu Múa/Chuyển động Việt Nam & Saigon Psyclub phối hợp tổ chức dưới sự tài trợ của Quỹ Sáng kiến Thanh niên vì Mục tiêu Phát triển Bền vững 2021 (CSDS).

"THE UNBEARABLE HUNGRINESS OF HUMAN BEING " Video Art by An Tran

"THE UNBEARABLE HUNGRINESS OF HUMAN BEING " Video Art by An Tran

"The unbearable hungriness of human being" is a conceptualized video art which presents the hunger of human body and how the body deals with starvation. Hunger is the gravest single threat to the world's public health. Hunger is a feeling experienced when one has a desire to eat. The often unpleasant feeling of hunger is unbearable. Although an average nourished individual can survive weeks without food intake, the sensation of hunger typically begins after a couple of hours without eating and is generally considered quite uncomfortable. The sensation of hunger can often be alleviated and even mitigated entirely with the consumption of food.

BETWEEN US - Part 1, The Bridge

BETWEEN US - Part 1, The Bridge

The “illusory tragic bridge” I had built connects people and shores. It is slender in materials but strong in structure, small in mass but huge in function. It contains hundreds of steps crisscrossing the country’s inland waterways just as the many steps and layers you must pass through to cross your mind. It stands for reality and hallucination. It stands for the power of communication, of reflection and connection which would not exist without it. This is the mask of reality. People must move across it step by step, layer by layer to reach what they want to become, what they want to see, what they would like to discover and to understand about the other side. No doubt, in our lives we cannot live without bridges. The world is 70% water. The world is floating. How can we stay together in peace without the support of bridges? How can we be close together without understanding people on the other side? - An Tran (Between Us, 21st August 2007)
