Abstract
The purpose of this article is to present the creative technique for I-san Tarantella Pas de deux, the experimental ballet creation which consisted of 1) the technique of creating the “Pas de deux” and 2) the experiment on embodying I-san culture in the ballet. The creation process is divided into four parts: 1) collection and study of related data, documents, online information, and the dance experience of the author to be analyzed as a conceptual framework; 2) experimental creation; 3) evaluation and refinement; and 4) public performance presentation.
I-san Tarantella Pas de deux presented the ballet creation in a new style, characteristic, and aesthetics with an intercultural approach: 1) Appreciating I-san culture; 2) Contextualizing I-san culture; and 3) I-san folk movements. After the public presentation, I-san Tarantella Pas de deux was recognized as a unique performance following the Pas de deux approach, which embodied I-san culture to create a new dance style. Furthermore, it demonstrated an intercultural dance performance. The I-san folk dance and ballet techniques harmonised with the exciting music and consequently inspired the movements.
