Facing the reality of whether the institution can survive in COVID‐19 epidemic, artist Ergao received an invitation from the Times Art Museum to enter the Huangbian Village. His member and him dance with the residents, show his dance films on the square, organise performances with the residents and run private dance courses......Like a "living dance theatre", it hide in the community and grow for 10 days. Can dance be a useful language of communication? By documenting the events, I really saw different groups of people communicating through performance and dance. Rather than isolating them and giving them so-called 'special care', community arts activities provide a more equal space for them to participate in a common event 'together'. This leads to communication and connection. These 'connections' give them encouragement to think and change in a positive direction.
