The vocal chant iw nsw m pr.f mi ra m pt was improvised and recorded on March 17, 2024, and was presented in London in September 2025 as part of a ritual-based event Ritual in Progress curated by Every Archive, this work features Yuwan Zhang’s solo vocal improvisation in collaboration with contemporary dancer, Peiyi Zhong, and singing bowl percussionist, Bei. The piece explores how voice and movement interweave to form a living dialogue between bodies and sound. Sung in reconstructed Ancient Egyptian language, whose words carry no literal meaning to the audience, the voice functions as a bridge of resonance rather than comprehension, embodying an ancient energy through modern presence.
Through spontaneous interaction between the dancer and voice, the performance transformed the space into a collective field of listening and awareness, inviting the audience to co-create a shared moment of embodied connection. The work concluded with a singing bowl meditation, extending the resonance into a communal and reflective state.
具身咏唱:人声、身体与仪式空间
咏唱作品《iw nsw m pr.f mi ra m pt》于2024年3月17日即兴唱作录制,并于2025年9月由在英国伦敦的Every Archive策展的“物言仪启”仪式活动中呈现,由峪晚彰提供音频,与即兴舞者Peiyi Zhong和颂钵艺术家Bei共同完成。作品探讨声音与身体之间的互动如何在空间中生成即时的对话。演唱使用重构的古埃及语,虽无人能听懂其意义,却因“人声”本身建立了共振与连接,使古老的能量在当下被具身呈现。
在人声与舞蹈的即兴交流中,表演逐渐将空间转化为一个共同聆听与觉察的场域,观众在其中参与并共创出短暂而深刻的身体连结。作品以颂钵冥想收尾,使声音的余韵延伸至群体共鸣与内在静思的层面。
