《16》is Tao Ye's fifteenth piece of Numerical series.

Inspired by the games of dragon dance and snake, 16 dancers form a linear queue, creating a dynamic spatial transformation through flowing, circling, and advancing movements. The energy fluctuations between dancers travel back and forth from head to tail, unfolding an increasing dynamic of spatial change.

In the movement exploration, 《16》 continues to expand the possibilities and new languages of how the body moves. It develops a circular space of 360-degree head movements, with the forehead, nose, ears, and occipital region serving as pivot points. These create various circular patterns in space. The dancers' movements flow like dragons. Based on the circular spine technique, the unique characteristics of head movements - drilling, colliding, passing, falling, following, twisting, and winding - guide the limbs. By following the natural inertia of body weight, the dancers continuously shift and advance, creating a dazzling and intricate microcosm through the exploration of repetition and non-repetition.
