On the morning of October 7, the 2026 Guashanli Art Festival came to Fusing. Artist Yeh Yu-chun (葉育君) and Japanese artist Yuzuru Maeda visited our school to lead students in Zentai — a kind of performance art in which performers wear stretchy bodysuits that cover them from head to toe, face included.
The workshop began with everyone sitting on the floor, listening as the two artists explained what was about to happen. Then came the first challenge: putting on the suits.
At first, some students said the tight bodysuits felt a little hot. But once the music started and they began to move freely to its rhythm, something changed. Little by little, they relaxed and let go of their worries about how they looked — until they seemed to forget their bodies altogether, lost in a free-flowing conversation with themselves.
The students' verdict? "This activity was really great." They may not have fully realized they were taking part in a performance art piece, but they truly felt what it means to be brave.
In the second period, homeroom teacher Hsiao Ching-chi (蕭景琪) took the lead. Students listened for each instruction and responded as one, setting off a second wave of excitement.
This blend of athletic movement and performance art amazed Yuzuru Maeda. She said that what she learned that day went far beyond what she had expected — a beautiful experience unlike any she had had before.
This year marks the seventh Guashanli Art Festival, with its main events running from October 9 to 11.
10月7日上午，彰化縣卦山力藝術祭藝術家葉育君及日本藝術家 Yuzuru Maeda 蒞臨，指導學生 Zentai 行為藝術。雖然剛開始學生們穿上緊身衣說有點熱，但是隨著音樂自由律動，慢慢融入後，逐漸丟掉包袱，開始展開一場忘記軀殼、自我對話的自由流動感。
學生們說，這個活動真的很棒。或許，他們並不是那麼清楚自己正在參與行為藝術的展演，但是，他們真的感受到什麼叫做「勇敢」。
第二節課，跟著導師蕭景琪老師的指導，學生們聽著指令，帶起另一波的高潮。體育競技與行為藝術的結合，讓 Yuzuru 老師驚艷不已，她說，今天她的學習遠遠超過預想，是以前未曾有過的美好經驗。
