\n\nIn terms of action design, physical moves based on the traditional steps and stunts of lion dance, will be reinterpreted through the creative thinking of modern dance. In this way, not only the traditional characteristics of the lion dance is preserved, but also more possible expressions are diversely extended. On the other hand, the musicians could also present in a more poetic way of body expressions, in order to interact physically with lion dancers. What’s more, creating a conflict (and perhaps a fusion) between soft and hard impressions, differentiates the identities (characteristics) between the lion dancers and the musicians.

Music compositions in this work served more than melodic background. The changing of emotions, the setting of characters, the emerging of paragraphs were all mainly conducted with musical themes. That is to say, music plays the role of the main rationality of connecting each paragraph of the work. At the same time, in response to the diverse visual expression, multiple music styles and genres were used not only to fit the picture but also to enrich the work. In general, the work emphasizes not the narrative story lines, but the process of combining the reinterpretation from traditional lion dance with the creation of modern music. The interaction between visual experience and diverse music genre becomes the key feature of the performance.
