Theme: The effect of group dance in the ballet Swan Lake

(A) the creative background of Swan Lake

A ballet history, up and down 500 years. In this long history, Swan Lake is a master of ballet art since the Renaissance in15th century. At the same time, it is also the ballet with the largest adaptation scale, the largest number of performances, the largest audience and the widest spread in the world today. Swan Lake represents the highest achievement of classical ballet with its tearful love fairy tales, poetic dance passages, refreshing symphony music and holy and elegant swan image.

In the history of world ballet dance, Russian ballet started late, and it seems that it was reluctantly introduced from Western Europe by the rulers as "advanced white culture". However, once the Russians establish their spiritual homeland in culture and art, they will fully reflect their unique national significance, that is, grandeur, majesty, high spirits and enthusiasm, and create a brand-new world. Although the unified Russian state was not formed until the beginning of16th century, it was named the Russian Empire in 172 1 year, and the Soviet Union was only joined by 15 countries in/922 * *, but their foreign heritage is more colorful and they are more persistent in developing themselves. No matter from which level, Russian culture and art are very developed, among which ballet art, especially classical bacao, is quite remarkable.

(B) the development of Swan Lake

Ballet is a bright pearl in the crown of western culture and art, a ballet history that has lasted for 500 years. Among the classic plays with shining stars, the classic ballet Swan Lake can be said to be a household name. From classical ballet to modern ballet, after a hundred years of baptism, social changes and changes in aesthetic needs, Swan Lake has also undergone tremendous changes. One is a classic, and the other is a modern stunning work. They have also gone through a hundred years of development and changes, allowing people to see the development and changes of ballet in the past hundred years.

"Classical ballet" is the "heyday" in the history of ballet development, which has experienced brilliant stages in dance techniques, choreography skills and performance forms. Dance dramas such as Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty and Nutcracker have produced a number of ballet talents and classic works. The story of the ballet Swan Lake, which is based on ancient German fairy tales, has been adapted many times until 1895. With the joint efforts of outstanding Russian musician Tchaikovsky, directors Pitipa and Ivanov, it finally exudes amazing brilliance. Strong themes such as life and death, good and evil, trust and betrayal in the play are harmoniously intertwined with music and reflect each other. Eventually it became the most classic and representative ballet in the world.

At the beginning of the 20th century, when the "classical ballet" reached its peak in Russia, it began to decline, and a group of elites who were dissatisfied with the conservative status quo began to gear up. They can't realize the ideal of ballet reform in their own country, so they can only March into Paris with Russian ballet agent Sergey Dia Gilev in the name of "Russian ballet", and open up a new era of "modern ballet" with a lot of fresh and unique innovations as the whole ballet history.

On 1996, the British Animation Adventure Dance Company launched a new dance drama Swan Lake, in which all the swans were starred by all the actors. The play caused a sensation in London as soon as it was released, and then it was staged in Los Angeles and new york. Its novel conception and masculine and energetic performance captured the hearts of thousands of audiences at once, and the performance was unprecedented and enduring. Matthew bourne's Swan Lake is arguably the boldest and most outrageous version. This new dance drama shows the story of today's times. All swans are played by men. Although the music is Tchaikovsky's original music, the familiar classical ballet characters have disappeared, and a brand-new modern urban background is presented to the audience.

This "Swan Lake" caused great repercussions after its premiere, and won numerous awards in Britain and the United States for several years. The main reason why the new version of Swan Lake can achieve such a great success is to maintain the essence of music. Bowen kept and played the secret of the success of the classic Swan Lake, that is, abstracting the image of a swan. Male dancers wearing only feather shorts are bare-chested and barefoot, expressing the charm of "swan" with their strong limbs. Even if he is unconventional, he still respects originality in the plot and is emotionally loyal to music. It is an innovative version of Swan Lake.

The curtain design of the male version of Swan Lake is quite unique. The brick wall with "Swan Bar" painted on it looks heavy, but it turns into a transparent tulle after a dozen lights. The harp music in which the swan dances gracefully in the original work was used in the male version of Swan Lake. The lights dimmed, and the swan that had just attacked the prince angrily calmed down and fell asleep; The prince appeared, looking at the boundless moonlight and the beautiful swan, completely ecstatic.

Compared with the dance beauty of the male version of Swan Lake, the female version of Swan Lake is another attraction. The location of the story, the colors of costumes and sets, and the colors and rhythms between different scenes are in sharp contrast. One or three scenes are all palace scenes, the former is a garden and the latter is a dance, both of which are real worlds full of fire and fireworks; The second act and the fourth act are Swan Lake, both of which are confusing illusory worlds under the dim moonlight. In the lighting design, through high-tech means, the scenes in fairy tales are rendered into sharp contrast, which makes the transformation between the gorgeous dance scene of the court and the hazy and sad scene of Swan Lake more dazzling.

After a hundred years of baptism, Swan Lake has undergone tremendous changes, which not only proves the changes of the times, but also proves the progress of ballet choreographer's creative thinking. If Petipa and Ivanov's Swan Lake is a classic at the end of 19, then the British director matthew bourne's male version of Swan Lake is a "classic" that subverts the classic at the end of the 20th century. Compared with the previous female version of Swan Lake, matthew bourne's Swan Lake is an inevitable product under the current background and social environment, which conforms to the development of the times and aesthetic changes. This is also one of the necessary factors to promote the development of ballet. As another new version of Swan Lake, matthew bourne's Swan Lake is a success. It does not have the inherent elegance of "classical ballet", nor does it have too charming classical fairy tales. He broke through the gorgeous and pure ballet costume, topless, and put everything in the background of modern stories. From 1885 to 1996, the history of ballet has been brilliant for more than one hundred years. Swan Lake, a classic ballet, is a well-known work for audiences in other countries and China. The female version of Swan Lake can be said to be the first successful version and a classic of classical ballet. However, a hundred years later, the success of matthew bourne's new male version of Swan Lake further illustrates the attraction of Swan Lake itself to the audience and the changes in the audience's aesthetic needs. Matthew bourne's Swan Lake is an inevitable product of modern social culture. The successful transformation and bold plot design of Swan make the audience shine and find everything new. The success of the two versions of Swan Lake not only proves the development of ballet, but also shows the changes and progress of people's thoughts and needs in contemporary society.

(3) The research object of this topic.

Group dance is a form of dance, which generally refers to multi-person dance performed by more than three people. From the gender of the performance, it can be divided into men's group dance, women's group dance and men's and women's group dance, from the content composition, it can be divided into plot group dance and lyric group dance, and group dance can also be an independent dance work. The author's topic is the effect of group dance in the ballet Swan Lake, including the analysis of ballet passages and the development history of ballet. I chose the ballet Swan Lake because it means a lot to me. The first time I watched the whole drama Swan Lake was in the second grade of technical secondary school. The teacher took us to Peking University Centennial Hall to watch Swan Lake performed by the Central Ballet. At that time, I didn't know what ballet was, but I knew that the "four cygnets" were ballet, and stood up in tiptoe shoes. When the author really finished watching the whole drama of Swan Lake, the author was deeply attracted by him until today's Swan Lake.

It's also my favorite dance drama. Even people who are not engaged in art are familiar with the name "Swan Lake". Although not many people have really seen this dance drama, it is enough to prove its position in people's hearts. Swan Lake is synonymous with ballet. This paper mainly studies the group dance in the second and fourth acts.

(4) The framework and research methods of this topic:

The introduction of this paper will be the research background, including the history of ballet dance, a brief introduction to Swan Lake's works, and an analysis of the unique aesthetics of ballet.

The content of the analysis will include: the role of group dance, the action design of group dance fragments, the details and expressive force of the action, and the position of dance fragments in the whole play. Through these analyses, it is concluded that the group dance fragments contribute to the poetic atmosphere of the whole dance drama and enrich its style elements.

In the history of ballet in19th century, Swan Lake, which premiered in St. Petersburg in 1895, reached a brilliant peak and opened a new chapter in the history of world ballet in the 20th century. The reason is not only that this version left many excellent dance fragments, but also that all the choreographers who devoted themselves to the rearrangement and adaptation of the ballet Swan Lake in the whole 20th century took this as the basis: they either carried it forward or ran counter to it, or combined their successful experience with modern choreography techniques, creating beautiful scenery one after another for the whole world stage. 1895 version of Swan Lake has indisputably become the masterpiece of classical ballet and the supreme classic of dance art with its updated concept and unique creativity. Even in that era of criticism and total denial, people can't deny its outstanding contribution to Swan Lake and ballet history. Therefore, 1895 is not only the rebirth day of Swan Lake, but also makes every ballet audience in the world familiar with it and crazy about it.
