Paiwan people refer to themselves as “people on the slope” (Paiwan language: Kacalisian) because most of the ancient ruins ascribed to the tribe have been located on mountain slopes.
\n\nFor Paiwan people, movements are driven by singing, and the natural rhythms of the body are elicited through vocals. Zemiyan (which means four-step dance in Paiwan language) represents the most basic form of Paiwan dance. The most common formation involves people extending both arms out and holding hands to form a circle. Paiwan people are of the belief that extending both arms out allows them to hold the hands of even more people, uniting everyone and giving one another strength.

Introduction to the Artist
\n\nTjimur Dance Theatre - First Professional Dance Company in Taiwan Dedicated to Contemporary Paiwan Cultural Aesthetics.
\n\n\n\n
It was founded in 2006 by the head of company and artistic director, Ljuzem Madiljin, with Baru Madiljin as the dance director and choreographer. Based on the roots of Tjimur Tribe of the Paiwan people, we attempt to transform the integrated Paiwan melodies and dances into modern body aesthetics through the learning process of traditional Paiwan music and dance. We are committed to retaining the traditional cultural foundation while seeking out the core essence of the Paiwan culture, where songs are infused to dance and dance inspires music, to showcase one of the most unique and distinctive contemporary dance companies in Taiwan.
\n\n\n\n
For more than a decade, the dance company has been creating possibilities for the development of the indigenous people’s contemporary theater. We have opened up dialog with the international community through the self-organized Tjimur Arts Festival, and at the same time, we have continued to organize tribal performance tours and workshops every year to develop arts communication in Taiwan.
