Dance is more charming because of technology --- a preliminary study of digital dance details

The Records of Music has a cloud: poetry, say its will; song, chanting its voice; dance, move its face. Since ancient times, there are also countries, societies, to dance to see the rise and fall of the saying, it can be seen that dance and people's lives are closely related. Ancient people in the labor to create dance, dance in the continuous progress and development. In a sense, the history of dance development is also the history of human development!

The development of dance art with the times to today, through numerous changes, after the establishment of new China, China's dance development is a rapidly changing transformation. With the efforts of dance workers, many new outstanding works continue to emerge, but still can not meet the requirements of the development of the times, this time and the new era closely integrated with the new form of dance art, digital dance is one of them.

One, what is the digitalization of dance

Beginning to put forward the definition of "digital dance", many people do not understand. How can dance be digitized? Can it still be called dance after digitization? Why should dance be digitized?

In fact, "digital dance" is a broad definition, which should include the dissemination of dance through digital channels and the digital creation of dance.

Let's start with a broad categorization of the ways in which dance is disseminated, i.e., traditional methods and digital dissemination. The traditional ones include education in colleges and universities, holding training courses, organizing dance competitions, distributing audio-visual materials and distributing written materials, etc. The digital dissemination includes setting up websites, downloading dances, Internet forums, making dances using digital technology and disseminating them, etc.

Traditional dissemination is generally based on education, especially classroom education. This is the focus of dance teaching, and it is undeniable that dance must be classroom education-based, because the direct effect of classroom education is the simplest and most effective for the improvement of dance students.

Now have the conditions of the major colleges and universities or arts organizations have set up their own Web site, the first time to release information about their own, and the art of dance cross-regional exchanges. Dance is the art of vision, audio-visual materials is definitely the focus of dance communication, now the network communication is mainly to disseminate the appreciation of stills and audio-visual materials. Generally a dance repertoire through the compressed processing of the file size takes several minutes to complete the network transmission. Society is developing, technology is progressing, this time there is a need to have a better file format, better technology to improve the time of network transmission, so some people began to use the existing technical conditions to produce new dance audio-visual materials. The most primitive should be the animation format of the dance, they are through a simple animation production technology, basically relying on hand-painted to complete, with the improvement of music production and editing technology level and dance workers to improve the level of the dance, there is a specialized dance music editing team, the most representative of the dance music production is the MIDI production, which is also currently the most common method. With the dance workers, enthusiasts in the increase in the number of people on the Internet as well as the improvement of the level of computer technology, they are not satisfied with the kind of only picture without sound animation form of dance, gradually there are other forms of dance audio-visual materials were produced and disseminated in the major forums of the various Web sites, this is a very good phenomenon, its emergence has allowed more people to appreciate the wonderful charm of the dance, and is conducive to improve the level of dance art appreciation of the whole population, and to improve the level of dance art, as well as to improve the level of dance art. This is a very good phenomenon, which allows more people to experience the wonderful charm of dance, helps to improve the level of appreciation of dance art for all people, and allows more people to care about and support the development of the dance cause.

The popularity of "Northeastern people are living Leifeng" marked the advent of the FLASH era, and since then a large number of primitive and original form of digital dance began to appear, they are either dance clips, or music clips, but all have the stage, actors, choreography and so on, and very much emphasize the visual impact of the dance. At this time, digital dance production began to appear.

The use of purely digital technology, leaving the traditional means and basic conditions (actors, lighting, stage, etc.) and produced to enjoy the dance audio-visual material, we define it as: digital dance.

The first step of digital dance is the production and dissemination of dance works, the second step is the dance DIY, and the third step should be choreography software.

So what exactly is the definition of digital dance? Comrades who have had experience in music editing will be better able to understand this definition.

In fact, music editing is a small part of digital dance. Music editing software is generally used COOLEDIT. music editing (and MIDI) is the digital processing of music, ordinary music can only be accurate to the second is very good, digital music can be accurate to a thousandth of a second. And also can be special processing of sound, remove background noise, etc., in a word, only can not think not to do. This is how music processing is defined. We for completely using the computer processing of music is generally called digital music, also known as digitally processed music.

The principle of digital dance is the same. Its ultimate goal allows a choreographer or dance enthusiast to leave the stage and turn the dance performance envisioned in his or her mind into a virtual dance reality, or even the stage effects and everything else he or she would like to have all represented on the computer as a virtual presentation. So to be precise, digital dance is a virtual dance demonstration, is the use of computer technology to simulate dance effects (including music, stage, lighting, etc.).

The second step of digital dance is dance DIY, which many people are afraid that they can not understand. In fact, we do not understand is mainly due to our country's network and computer has not been popularized to a certain extent, and even most of us have not gone to the experience of music editing, not to mention their own hands with the computer editing and processing of music to perform. Digital dance is the next level of music editing, and it can be said that only those who are very familiar with music editing can understand the concept of digital dance well. Dance DIY is the free combination of movements, that is to say, matching the required movements with music to produce the dance you need. This technique is characterized by starting to accumulate a large number of basic movements and completing simple choreography work, reducing the workload of choreography and creation.

The highest goal of digital dance is the choreography software, this goal is only realized in the above two steps, only with the technical basis and software production needs.

Two, the specific performance of digital dance and works

1, the construction of the website is an important part of the dance digitization and the first condition

Beijing Academy of Dance is the nation's first horse of the dance art class, at present, Beijing Academy of Dance's new website construction has been completed and put into use, the institutions, the Guangdong School of Dance, Xiamen Academy of Performing Arts Vocational College and so on also set up a website. The Central Ballet and other professional organizations also have their own Web sites, the most professional level of folk groups that number was established in 2000 "dance shadow 2000" (/xiazai/002.swf

3, the other digital dance

Now some of the colleges and universities video teaching experiments, that is, through the camera to the image of the Experiment, that is, through the camera will be the image of the use of network transmission to complete the off-site teaching, which is a new dance teaching methods, but at present the general use of the theoretical aspects of teaching, because of the basic training class, rehearsal class video teaching is still missing between teaching and learning interaction. It is because of the emergence of this form, in many dance forums, some people issued a "can open an online dance class?" The post.

In many FLANSH websites, there are also a large number of FLANSH works with high digital dance content, such as Qiuyin's "Fly" and RUYU's "Raindrops," etc., which are all well-known FLANSH works with dance movements on the Internet. There are many other digital dances that exist in other forms or are under development that we cannot list.

Third, the significance of dance digitization

Our country has 60 million people on the Internet, and basically concentrated in the youth. Teenagers are the focus of our dance education, can be said to be related to the future of the rise and fall of the dance, they are more likely to receive through the network of relevant knowledge education, this knowledge may be precisely the lack of classroom or even classroom can not be learned. Therefore, the significance of setting up a website and spreading dance through the Internet cannot be denied.

On the other hand, there are a large number of Chinese dance enthusiasts in the world, and it is well known that it is difficult to buy audio-visual materials and teaching materials for Chinese dance in foreign countries, and there are even no dance teachers, so the limitations of traditional dance dissemination become obvious at this time. Network dissemination can overcome this disadvantage, through the network resources, all the dance enthusiasts have no geographical limitations, no national boundaries, and can be freely disseminated. The content of this dissemination includes the appreciation of dance pictures, the appreciation of dance videos and the exchange of dance music. Through the network, a complete dance repertoire can be completed in just a few minutes unlimited communication. The saving of money is needless to explain, and the significance is even greater for the exchange of new works at the first time.

Re-assuming that a dance work from the choreography to the final work, need to invest a lot of energy and financial resources, the same way the use of FLANSH to produce a digital dance, only need to work in front of the computer choreographer to complete the overall work, and can clearly see the final effect of the work, but also can be corrected at any time the shortcomings of the work. On the one hand, the speed of creation and the level of the work is improved, on the other hand, the cost is greatly reduced.

At the same time, with the popularization of the Internet and the increase in the number of dance enthusiasts surfing the Internet, related industries have also been driven up, such as e-commerce, paid dance downloads, and so on.

With the increasing level of digital technology, dance is no longer just a simple concept of performance and technique, and the new era has given dance more new content. The art of dance needs a new development, pending the efforts of a new generation of dancers. The new generation of dancers should be inheriting the traditional dance content and developing new dances. Hopefully, digital dance has a broader space for development!
