Taipei City North No. 1 Girls' High School - Plant Sound Theater based on cross-disciplinary aesthetic courses: Spring and Autumn Fruits, Sound Plants in My Heart

I think of what Teacher Jiang Xun said in the book "52 Lectures on Body Memory":
I am a seed, I am a flower, I am also a fruit, and my body flows in different forms.
If our body could learn from nature, it would be a very perfect body. Learn from the mountains, learn from the ocean, or more simply, learn from a flower.
In line with the theme of the 3rd Shanchenghai Poetry Festival, "Spring and Autumn Fruits", the semester course takes "Plant Perspective: On the Land" as the main axis to teach and create poetry, music and dance dramas. The presentation method is a combination of biology, literature, dance and foley sounds. drama.
The creation of poetry, music and dance drama comes from adding different elements step by step. The cross-fields of the ancients: poetry, music and dance activate the five senses and six senses. The music class uses sound to see plants. First, we start with the plant illustrations in art songs. The teacher lists many life-oriented examples, focusing on the relationship with the students' lives. For example, as mentioned: the concept of love in Schubert's art song "Wild Rose", the "bodhi tree" symbolizing homesickness; the red lotus flower in "Demon Slayer" -> Higanbana (flowers and leaves never meet, plant characteristics and human nature Link); Sun Shengxi's song "Rare Plants" (discussing love); Bunun plant imagery (plant writings in myths and stories); the campus plant "Broussonetia" (Austronesian origin, genes).
Then the biology teacher led the students on a tour of the campus, observing the appearance and posture of plants, and conducting a series of "poem appreciation and creation" focusing on "plant writing". Through the school's plant day course, students were able to understand plants and combine the ideas of poetry. Write a three-line poem "So much like myself".
The art class leads students to appreciate the plants in paintings, draw plants based on the symbolic meanings of campus plants such as their appearance, smell, and growth characteristics, and organize the pictures and texts into postcards.
Finally, plants were used as the text, and foley and soundtrack design were added to gradually bring the body, life imagery, and land imagery closer together. It also incorporates images, body movements and scripts into literature and cross-field application teaching, hoping that students can create a poetry, music and dance drama about youth and land on their own campuses.
