“Folks” – A Choreographic Research, is a written report based on the graduation choreography of Wong Jyh Shyong entitled “Folks”. As a study on the creative process of “Folks”, this report focuses on ‘Question and Answer’ within its choreographic content and form. Discovering and solving choreographic problems are the process to reveal intention behind choreography, and to seek for its form of expressiveness, which is aesthetically significant for both the choreography and the choreographer. This report is written in four chapters. The first chapter “Introduction” begins with the origin of my choreographic inquiry while revisiting my past choreographic experiences, as well as laying out the rehearsal plan of “Folks”. Chapter Two: “The Content” brings ahead the process of discovering the intention behind such content, and exploring this choreographer's connection with such choreography, further reflecting upon the social and cultural value of “Folks”. Chapter Three “The Form” is an analysis of the choreographic process on finding the form and style of “Folks”, while seeking symbolic approaches within the process of choreographing. “Finale”--the last chapter, is a conclusion of this research, ending with my reflections on thinking and creating dance.
