Solo Dance (2021)

"The body is the most original language and art". Lin Ssu-tuan's body certainly is. Her life is all about experiencing through the body. In the 1950s she left her job as a factory worker to become the one and only professional nude model in Taiwan. Photography exhibitions of her nude portraits in the 1960s shocked public opinion. At the same time, Lin fought against the objectification of female models and turned from passive posing to active expression, becoming a modern dance performer. "Dancing is an innate language in which everyone has the right to express themselves, regardless of their age and condition. This is the lesson we learn from Lin Ssu-tuan, the dance teacher who challenged the ideology of traditional academism. She is an extremely inspiring person, and not because she's my mother" - Lee Li-shao. An inspiring documentary about Lin Ssu-tuan, who is over 80 years old but still fervently pursues her ideals and passions with her body.
