Community Cultural Ambassador 2026: Move In Dance Theatre "Journeys of Hakka Heroines'" Touring Performances

About this event

This project explores the traditional roles of Hakka women known as "Four Heads and Four Ends": "field head and land end" (farming), "stove head and pot end" (cooking), "needle head and thread end" (sewing), and "home head and teaching end" (household and child-rearing). Through the imagery of "weaving", it links memories of labour with emotional narratives to raise community awareness of Hakka women and creates an opportunity for inter-generational cultural dialogue. Drawing inspiration from the Hakka nursery rhyme Moonlight contemporary poetry on Hakka women with modern dance, the dance theatre blends to unfold a poetic story against the myriad lights of homes.​

本計劃以傳統客家女性的「四頭四尾」 — 田頭地尾（務農）、灶頭鑊尾（做飯）、針頭線尾（縫紉）和家頭教尾（持家教子）為切入點，藉由「編織」這個意象，將勞動記憶與情感敘事緊密串連，藉此喚起大眾對傳統客家女性的認識，構建跨代的文化對話空間。舞劇以客家童謠《月光光》為引子，將當代描寫客家女性的詩作與現代舞融合，營造萬家燈火中充滿詩意的故事。
