Dance is a comprehensive art. Music is so important to dance. Students are trained to imagine in music, move in imagination, and express various dance rhythms of different textures in music. , is an important means and training content of dance performance. Of course, Balanchine regarded actors as symbols to dance in the music [he attached great importance to music]. Such performances are also what we need to study. The main feature of dance is its image Sexuality and emotion. Creating images and infusing emotions into images is the core content of our dance performing arts teaching. It is achieved through the training and blending of various elements, which is to transform the emotions after "experience" into them. "Reflect".
Our teaching is three-stage. The first is the theoretical concepts of various performance elements; the second is the practice of various performance elements; the third is the application of performance skills in sketches or plays. To create an image. Therefore, our teaching materials are also in three stages. They are only used as teaching materials to explain the theory thoroughly. There is a long way to go from the construction of the performance discipline. Let us add bricks and tiles based on the experience of our predecessors. Build this beautiful building.
In recent years, with the vigorous development of professional art education, higher requirements have been put forward for the construction of teaching materials. The Ministry of Education has proposed a curriculum system and teaching content for the 21st century. The reform plan, as well as the revision of the new undergraduate major catalog and the formulation of teaching plans, have created favorable opportunities and necessary conditions for the vague construction of undergraduate textbooks in colleges and universities.
Human dance activities and The history of human beings is as old as ever. As a full-time dance performance, it can be traced back to ancient Greece and the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in my country. The emergence of slave girl music is the primary stage of dance performance. Whether it is Ti'an, Xuanjuan's "Lingering Dust", Whether it is Xi Shi's "Ringing Clogs", Fu Yi's "Dance Fu" or Nowell's "Collection of Letters on Dance and Dance Drama", you can find incisive judgments and vivid descriptions of the study of dance performance phenomena. Although various historical periods have put forward many views that are worthy of future generations' cherishment, unfortunately, it is not difficult for them to realize the transformation from the study of performance phenomena to dance performance studies. This transformation is actually a leap, that is, The independence of academic research, the integrity of academic categories, the scientific nature of research methods, and the systematic formation and establishment of research results. To investigate and discuss the art of dance performance and develop it into theoretical teaching materials, three conditions are required: first, long-term accumulation of dance performance practice; second, rich experience in teaching dance performance, especially those indescribable aesthetic intuitions - --The dissemination of "intuitive knowledge"; the third is the understanding and reference of the three major performance systems in the world. Of course, this kind of all-rounder is rare, but work hard in this direction. But it is the goal that teachers of dance performance majors in various colleges and universities strive for together. In the history of Western dance, the famous French dancer Jean-Georges Nowell (1727-1810), in his famous "Letters on Dance and Dance Drama", has a wonderful discussion on "dance technology" and "dance performance": " The dancer's technique can win applause, but it is like admiring an automatic toy, and I can't experience more excitement. It has the same effect on me as the most wonderful poem, but its single lines are only scattered and fragmented. Meaningless. For example, what a reader would feel when hearing these separated words: "honor-in-living-for-in-and-people-cause-of-justice" But it is these words, in a In the hands of genius, that is, Shakespeare expressed the noblest sentiment: He who dies for justice lives with honor. The art of dance itself must use the best language, and it is not enough to be familiar with its words. The art of dance can no longer be silent, but must speak with real power; dance dramas will arouse as sublime emotions as the best dramatic works.
