How to enjoy dancing

When Yang li Ping, a teacher on the stage, performed proud as a peacock's spirit with her graceful dance, and Jia Zuoguang, a teacher, pranced like a wild goose in the sunshine, and China's large-scale revolutionary epic "Dongfanghong" appeared in front of us, were you moved by beauty and shocked by your heart? Dance is a kind of body language used by human beings to reflect the art form of nature, life and society. Dance appreciation refers to people's appreciation of the dynamic beauty of the human body when watching dance performances. Here, I want to talk about my understanding of dance appreciation. The so-called professional dance appreciation can start with the composition of dance art. 1. Dance can be divided into life dance, artistic dance, ballet, modern dance and folk dance. Appreciation of dance cannot be generalized. Because different dances have different standards of appreciation. Before enjoying the dance, it is very necessary to know the type of dance you appreciate. For example, life dance is directly related to people's lives, and its utilitarian purpose is very clear. This is a popular dance activity, and everyone can participate. Appreciation of this kind of dance can dilute the professional requirements for dancers, and the purpose of this kind of dance is often the popularization of the public or the propaganda of religion. Artistic dance is a kind of dance work with distinctive theme, rich emotion, complete form and typical artistic image, which is performed by a few people on the stage or square by professional and amateur dancers through observation, experience and analysis of social life. For artistic dances, appreciators often have to evaluate dancers from a professional perspective, and at the same time, this kind of dance also has certain requirements in understanding the plot. The audience must understand that the dancer's performance is an artistic re-creation of a certain social life, with the characteristics of amplification and exaggeration. 2. Dance theme and dance theme The so-called dance theme is the life phenomenon directly described in the work. It is the material that the dance director selects, refines and processes the social life materials he has mastered as the content of the work. The theme of dance is the emotion, implication and central idea expressed by dance works through the description of real life and the shaping of artistic image. Theme and theme can be divided into the plot background that the audience needs to know to appreciate the dance. Only by understanding these two things can we appreciate dance purposefully, and we can easily understand it from the dancers' performances. For example, the large-scale music and dance epic "Dongfanghong" enjoyed in class is based on the history of China's revolutionary struggle. With magnificent music and dance scenes, it shows the vivid picture of China people fighting for liberation and celebrating their new life since 192 1. 3. Grasp the plot of dance. The plot of dance is the evolution and development process of characters' lives and events in plot dance and dance drama. It consists of a series of specific events, which can show the relationship between people and people, and between people and the environment. A correct grasp of the plot determines whether the audience can really understand what the dancers have interpreted with body language and what they want to express. This is the so-called dance language. At the same time, whether the audience can correctly grasp the plot is also a great test for the directors and actors. Choreography must fully refine and deal with the story being interpreted. Before performing a certain dance, dancers should also have a deep understanding and grasp of the plot, make full use of their own dance language and tell the audience what they have performed on the stage. For example, Yang Wei, the chief choreographer of the large-scale dance "Red Plum Zan", knows that the simplicity and refinement of the story is the key to a silent dance drama. She ingeniously designed and arranged wonderful stage pictures: in the face of torture and inducement, Jiang Jie was firm and tenacious; The traitors are begging for mercy, and there is nothing they can do about it. In the hunger strike, "Little Radish Head" resisted the torture of hunger, and what he longed for in his little heart was a butterfly flying freely. In the crazy massacre, the mother of "Prison Flower" resolutely chose to give up her life and go to death. Facing the dawn of victory, Jie Jiang and his friends, with their loyalty, embroidered a bright five-star red flag. Under the banner fluttering in the wind, the warriors won eternal life in the raging fire. 4. The design of objective environment dance is not a simple solo performance of a dancer, and a good dance also has its indispensable objective environment components. The so-called objective environment includes the design of stage background and lighting, the choice of background music, the costume design of dancers and so on. Good objective environment design can add icing on the cake to a dance, and bad design may also be the failure of this dance. We can divide the images of the audience enjoying the dance into three types, namely, visual image, auditory image and kinesthetic image. The so-called kinesthetic image refers to a specific emotional experience that people experience through their own kinesthetic organs during exercise. The creation of kinesthetic images in the audience's mind often depends on the performance of dancers on the stage. The visual image perceived by the audience through vision requires not only the excellent performance of dancers, but also the careful design of stage designers. The stage design, costume and music design of the whole performance of the large-scale national dance "Dream of Dunhuang" seemed to bring the audience to the ancient and mysterious western regions, which fascinated me. The audience can understand the background and plot of the story through visual stage design, and a good stage background can give the audience the feeling of being there. The final auditory image is a physiological and psychological emotional experience or vivid association with a specific life caused by the sound of object vibration acting on human auditory organs. Art itself is interlinked, and the organic combination of music and dance can create the most perfect effect of the audience's visual and auditory feelings. The creation and selection of dance music must conform to the content of this dance and serve the plot of the dance. Appropriate background music creates a perfect artistic conception for dance, and the climax of background music can promote the climax of dance plot. The large-scale music and dance epic Dongfanghong consists of more than 30 revolutionary songs and more than 20 kinds of dances, including 5 choruses, 7 performances and 18 recitations. Many poets, composers and dancers have participated in the creation, which shows that music plays an important role. 5. Dance composition Dance composition is the dance picture, the existence and presentation of dance language on the stage, and the dynamic structure of dance in time and space. Generally speaking, it refers to the dancer's action lines and picture modeling in the stage space, which is one of the important means of expression of dance works. Including: 5. 1 uniformity, also known as simple unity, is the simplest rule of formal beauty. It is characterized by indifference and consistency of queues, which can reflect the beauty of simplicity and neatness and give people the beauty of rhythm and order. 5.2 Balanced symmetry, also known as balanced symmetry, is a kind of formal beauty slightly more complicated than uniformity. Laws are characterized by both consistent repetition and inconsistent differences. However, it still maintains consistency and symmetry in differences, giving people a peaceful and stable aesthetic feeling, while balance gives people a sense of stability, freedom and flexibility. 5.3 Harmony and contrast the differences of things and the unity of contrast. Contrast gives people a distinct, eye-catching, stimulating and active aesthetic feeling, while harmony gives people a sense of pleasure of integration and coordination. 5.4 Diversity and unity are also called harmony. It is the highest law of formal beauty, the contrast and unity of uniformity, balance, symmetry and harmony, which makes people feel rich, simple, vivid and orderly. Give people a holistic and diverse aesthetic feeling. Dance composition can be planned as the final overall effect of dance appreciation, and it is also an indispensable part. Some people think that understanding dance appreciation must have certain preconditions, and those who appreciate dance must have some basic qualities needed to appreciate art, as Marx said: "If you want to appreciate art, you must be an artistic person." Here, I can't agree I think not only high-level experts with artistic accomplishment, but also artists and ordinary people are qualified to appreciate dance. Art is the art of life. Art originates from life and needs to belong to it. Therefore, dance should not be an unreachable spire on the ivory tower, but an art of life acceptable to the general public. If dance can only be accepted by some so-called artistic people, then it will be more and more divorced from life, more and more lonely, and at the same time lose the most essential purpose of dance. As an art, the most important essence of dance is the dialogue between the dancer and the audience. The highest realm of dance is to let every audience understand what it expresses while enjoying the dance, which will shock the soul. Art has no national boundaries or language barriers. A touching Inner Mongolia folk song can even make the camel cry and arouse the mother camel's maternal love for the baby camel. If a dance can't be understood by the audience, I think the key to the problem is not that the audience is not good enough, but that the dance itself is divorced from real life. As a director, create with heart; As a dancer, perform with your heart; As an audience, feel it with your heart. Only in this way can the best effect of dance art be achieved. Starting from life, dance can go further and further.
