1. How did the site of DongMen alter the choreography that you created in the classroom?
- Originally, our group was going to do movements under the cloth line because we thought we could hang some clothes there. Unfortunately, the cloth line is unreachable, therefore we just did our movements on the flat ground. We also made some changes to our movements. We did the whole choreography without clothes hanging, and we changed the jumping-around to crawling on the ground because it would look better.
2. Now that you know this site better; If you were to go back to Dongmen what would you add or subtract from your choreography to make it stronger?
- I actually liked our movements. If possible, I would change the background to another wall that was at the rooftop. The wall we used as background was gray, but the other wall has some creepy rusty effects that might make our choreography stronger.

In response to Ms. Amy's Comment:
- The Mall gave me a abandoned, isolated, and creepy feeling. I was scared by a passing cat while walking on the corridor. It was quite surprising to see many people are still living in it. Perhaps it's because those people don't have money to move to a new house or simply because it's their home. If I were the mayor of Hsinchu, I would allow people open shops and live inside. I would fix the whole building, or at least clean up the building so people living inside can have a better living environment.

I liked the clothesline idea, unfortunately it couldn't work. You were able to adapt your choreography to the site, though.
What were your reactions to the location in general? What is it like for you to witness people living in relative poverty in a place like DongMen surrounded by the relative wealth of Hsinchu? What would you do with a place like DongMen if you were the mayor of Hsinchu? Would you tear it down? leave it? try to revive the industry there? allow people to live there or not?
