工作坊｜何以為居：身體移動與定位

北投社三層崎公園是凱達格蘭族北投社的部落位址，被稱為「頂社」，因為過去統治者的開發白瓷土，被迫往山下搬遷，有的族人遷到今天復興崗政戰學院的「中社」，而又因為日人將中社收改為「跑馬場」，族人再次遷徙，部分往平原的「下社」—今天的番仔厝居住。因為土地、產業的開發，喜居低海拔丘陵的凱達格蘭族人因而散居各地，然而為了適應生活，族人也很快地適應當代，而形成今日所見的文化交融景況。這次工作坊以「北投社三層崎公園」作為工作坊聚集的開端，沿公園旁水磨坑溪邊間遊走，以肢體開發形式引出身體對於自我與歸宿的討論，探索身體與環境中之間的關係。北投社後裔因各種地理和人為因素而被迫受到遷徙與離散，工作坊中將透過藝術家帶領參加者，在身體覺察的練習中，嘗試與自我身分連結，尋找屬於自己的生存、紮根及流動。

Beitoushe Sancengqi Park marks the site of the Ketagalan people’s Beitou community, referred to as “Tíng-Siā”. Due to the exploitation of white porcelain clay by past rulers, the villagers were forced to relocate downhill. Some moved to the area now known as Tiong-Siā at Fu-Hsing Kang College. Later, when the Japanese converted Zhongshe into a racecourse, the community was displaced again, with some members moving to “Ē-Siā” on the plains, known today as Huan-á-tshù.

The development of land and industries caused the Ketagalan people, who traditionally preferred low-altitude hills, to disperse across various locations. Yet, to adapt to these changes, they quickly adjusted to contemporary life, creating the cultural integration we see today.

This workshop uses “Beitou She Sancengqi Park” as its starting point, gathering participants to explore the park and stroll along the adjacent Shuimokeng River. Through bodily movement practices, the workshop encourages discussions about identity and belonging, delving into the relationship between the body and its environment.

The descendants of the Beitou community have faced displacement and dispersal due to both geographical and human factors. Led by artists, the workshop will guide participants in body awareness exercises to connect with their sense of self, seeking personal expressions of survival, rootedness, and fluidity.
