| dc.description.abstract | The study employs by narrative method, focusing on the students in the course of Cloud Gate Dance Theater 2 in National Central University. The study described a story where the students met each other from the beginning to the end of the course. The participants were the students taking the course of Cloud Gate Theater 2 and also getting involved in it. The story started exactly from myself, the researcher in the current study. I met these students in the course of Cloud Gate Dance Theater 2 and narrated what I underwent and experienced from the course. In the involvement, I also transformed my role in the course, from complete observer to complete participant. I not only got involved in the course but also devoted my commitment to this course. Therefore, the focus of the research was also shifting gradually. Exposed to this course, I found out my unfamiliar body came into existence again.
In the process of narrative, the purpose is to experience what I have not experienced before. From the involvement of the course of Cloud Gate Dance Theater 2, I also reevaluated my experience of learning and instruction. The experience is inspired by the interaction between teacher and students in this course and these students completely got involved in learning by interests and high motivation from teacher’s assistance. When the students took full commitment to the course, they often spawned many creative ideas in the learning process, which is a positive learning transformation. Take me as an example. As a matter of fact, when I entered completely different domains, a huge conflict occurred in my mind. However, through these research participants’ dialogue, a feast of dance instruction was narrated to embody what these vigorous and young people felt.
I reviewed my life through the experience of involvement, and I also traced what I had experienced in the journey of my life. I originally could not embrace myself but finally turned myself into accepting the past I owned. At that time, there were full of laughs, tears in the review of different contexts and backgrounds. Besides, it seemed simple but complicated in the world of emotions; I felt invigorated to keep going in my life journey. Although there are many unemployed teachers in our society nowadays, I still make myself return to my original belief. No matter how the society changes, I still insist to retain the touching moment of inspiration, making it keep on going in my mind.
