Artistic Value of Contemporary Dance

With the development of opera towards a comprehensive direction, the traditional form of classical dance has been unable to express the unique charm of the ancient society in an independent manner, in order to explore the classical artistic value that has gradually disappeared from the art of opera, and to build an aesthetic system with the atmosphere of the times, the classical dance has gradually been separated from the art of opera. In order to explore the value of classical art, which is gradually disappearing in the opera art, and to build an aesthetic system with the aesthetics of the times, classical dance has gradually separated from the opera art, explored its own changes with the characteristics of the times, and integrated a lot of factors of the times, which has formed the modern classical dance combining the ancient and the modern with a unique style. For example, the contemporary classical dance "Moonlit Night of Spring River" not only has a strong classical flavor, but also integrates more modern factors, showing the combination of ancient and modern artistic characteristics, and more importantly, the dance combines the art form of dance drama to fully demonstrate the unique aesthetic value of Chinese traditional dance. This is also the case with the "Po Lin Lantern", in which ancient meanings and modern factors are fused with each other in a unique and novel way, which, together with the performance in the form of dance drama, shows a refreshing and unparalleled aesthetic and artistic value. Since the 1980s, Chinese classical dance has reacquainted itself with the unique sense of rhythm and connotation in the art of opera, and has begun to embody the unique aesthetic connotation of "Body Rhythm". Body Rhythm This art form has both a strong classical flavor and a strong sense of modern ethnicity. For example, the contemporary classical dance "The Yellow River" has appeared? Body rhyme?

For example, the classical dance "The Great Wall" has inherited the unique sense of rhythm in the opera, and it is also characterized by the "body rhyme". Body Rhythm This novel art form embodies the unique aesthetic value and artistic concept of the Chinese nation. Spanning from the 1990s to the 21st century, Chinese contemporary classical dance tends to utilize modern expression methods and a contemporary way of thinking, and constantly changes and enriches the aesthetic concepts and dance forms of traditional classical dance. The more representative classical dance of this period is "The Spirit of Qin Terra Cotta Warriors", although the dance shows a certain form of classical meaning, but more modern aesthetic concepts, modern dance forms to show the theme, novel and chic, refreshing, fully demonstrates China's contemporary classical dance to the traditional classical dance transcendence and innovation.

Between the 1950s and the 1960s, the Chinese folk dance community set off a large-scale wave of folk art learning. Dancers were following the ? Moiseyev style? These dancers expanded the folk dance from the field workshop to the stage with artistic atmosphere, created the artistic aesthetic value of the stage level, and made the modern folk dance more elegant. For example, "Lotus Dance" is adapted from the traditional Chinese folk dance "Walking Lanterns", which not only has the strong ethnic connotation of traditional folk dance, but also shows the unique elegance of contemporary folk dance through the stage, and more importantly, this folk dance shows the vibrant production scene through the art form, which is a unique flavor. In addition, there is Mongolian folk dance "Ordos Dance" is also a contemporary folk dance to the stage, not only has an elegant artistic flavor, but also contains a unique ethnic flavor.

China's contemporary ballet is a combination of Chinese and Western artistic values formed in the differences between the aesthetic concepts of Europe and the United States and those of the Chinese nation. When ballet was first introduced to China, Chinese contemporary ballet was able to vividly display the unique flavor of European and American classical ballet through learning. For example, the classic ballet posture of Chinese contemporary ballet "Swan Lake" and the interpretation with oriental cultural flavor vividly expressed this classic ballet fairy tale. Ten years later, Chinese contemporary ballet tried to show the beauty of innovation, the Oriental charm and European and American classical fully integrated, creating a new era of Chinese contemporary ballet. The more representative ballets of this period include "The Red Detachment of Women", which fully combines the Chinese revolutionary theme with the Western classical meaning, bringing the audience a brand new visual experience, which not only meets the aesthetic demand of Chinese audience, but also highlights the classical meaning of traditional ballet. Again, the ballet "White Hair Woman" is also a combination of the subject matter of the exploitation of the Chinese toiling masses by the landlords and the Western classical connotation, in a novel and unique form, which highlights the rich ethnicity and the elegance of ballet; some creators have also adapted China's large-scale folk song and dance drama "Fish Beauty" as a modern ballet, and since then, many of the modern and contemporary ballets in China are Many contemporary ballets in China are based on folklore, myths and classics, and then the essence of traditional Chinese folk dance and traditional ballet is embedded in them, which ultimately allows European and American classical ballet dance to mingle with the aesthetic meaning of the Chinese nation? The theme of the creation of contemporary Chinese ballet fundamentally and completely abandoned the European and American ballet in the fantasy journey of the prince and the princess, but direct attention to the joys and sorrows of the people, and fusion of Chinese folk dance and traditional classical dance in a variety of movements, so as to meet the aesthetic needs of the Chinese audience, and has become the world's ballet in the a wonder of today.

Under the reform and opening up situation, the wind of modern dance from Europe and America blew into the Chinese dance world. Slowly, many dances in China contain the creative concepts of European and American modern dance. In this context, a series of modern dances appeared in the Chinese dance world. For example, "Hope" is a modern dance created by the Chinese dance industry at that time, in this dance, the audience simply can't see the customary movements and styles of Chinese dance, only with the help of the body and the limbs of rhythmic 'trembling, flexible flexion and extension of the hands, the feet of the regular hooks and tensile, rhythmic breathing to show that there is a plot based on the changes in feelings, so the aesthetic system of the Chinese dance industry can be said to be? It can be said that such an aesthetic system is unprecedented in the Chinese dance industry. The beauty of such dance is new and unique. The emergence of modern dance has completely subverted the aesthetic concept of traditional dance, reshaped the connotation and aesthetic value of dance aesthetics, and fully demonstrated the pursuit and aspiration of modern people for the ultimate urban life, as well as their concern for the inner world and the times. In modern dance, the audience can feel a strong shock, thus obtaining a distinctive aesthetic feeling. In the past twenty years, Chinese modern dance from the initial imitation of European and American modern dance, to today's thematic innovation, movement innovation, in the process of continuous development continue to explore more novel, more unique aesthetic concepts, to date, China's modern dance has become increasingly mature, the emergence of different styles, new themes and dance works, and the development of other types of dance in China has also had a positive impact on the development of the positive impact.

Musical theater is a unique form of song and dance performance on the Broadway stage in the United States, which integrates dance movements, song singing, theater performance and other elements, and it has similarities with the Chinese opera art form. From an objective point of view, whether it is a musical or an opera, its essence is the art of song and dance fusion, which, admittedly, belongs to the category of the high realm and is in line with people's comprehensive aesthetics. Dance art, music art, theater art after a period of development, increasingly formed into an integrated art form, which is the development of the times, but also the modern people's comprehensive aesthetic needs. When some famous European and American musicals (such as "Cats") were first introduced to China, they quickly took their place in the Chinese cultural market with their easy-to-understand and moving storylines, contemporary music melodies and shocking visual effects. At this time, some dance artists also saw that musicals conformed to the characteristics of the times and began to create musicals with Chinese national characteristics. Artists believe that to promote the sustainable development of Chinese musicals, it is necessary to let it develop in the direction of nationalization and regionalization. China's many nationalities and complex regional cultures provide rich materials for the development of musicals. In this situation, Chinese musicals contain both European and American elements, mixed with Chinese national and regional characteristics, increasingly forming a comprehensive artistic value.

The characteristics of contemporary dance

1 Realism is the main theme

The monograph "China's Contemporary Dance Creation" clearly points out that: ? The theme of literary creation and the diversification of the aesthetic needs of the contemporary public determines that the subject matter of modern and contemporary dance is bound to be y rooted in the ordinary masses of the people, so as to completely realize the humanistic concern of literary creation for the civilian society. For example, the present contemporary dance work "Mobile Children" fully expresses the fact that a group of children in the countryside follow their parents to work in the metropolis, and the migrant worker is called Dazhou, who has four daughters, respectively titled ? Flower of Hibiscus, Flower of Peony, Flower of Pomegranate, Flower of Moonflower?
