Briefly describe the methods of dance appreciation

Methods of Dance Appreciation are: the type of dance, the subject matter and theme of the dance, the plot of the dance to grasp, the design of the objective environment,dance composition.

1, types of dance.

Dance is divided into life dance, art dance, ballet, modern dance and folk dance and so on. For the appreciation of dance we can not generalize. Because different dances have different standards of appreciation. Before enjoying the dance, it is very necessary to figure out the type of dance to enjoy. For example, the dance of life is directly related to a variety of people's lives, utilitarian purpose is relatively clear, everyone can participate in a wide range of mass dance activities.

For the appreciation of this type of dance, we can downplay the requirements of the professional aspects of the dancers, the purpose of this kind of dance often lies in the popularization of the masses or religious propaganda. Artistic dance is by professional and amateur dancers through the observation of social life, experience, analysis, focus on generalization and imagination for artistic creation to produce a clear theme, rich in emotion, the form of a complete, with a typical artistic image, by a small number of people on the stage or the square to perform for the masses to enjoy the dance works.

2. Dance subject matter and dance theme.

The so-called subject matter of the dance is the phenomenon of life directly depicted in the work, and it is the material of social life that the choreographer grasps to select, refine and process as the content of the work. The theme of dance is the emotion, meaning and central idea of the dance work expressed through the depiction of real life and the shaping of artistic images.

The subject matter and theme can be categorized as the background of the plot that the audience needs to know to appreciate the dance that the dance is going to show. Only to have an understanding of the two, we can have a purpose to appreciate the dance, but also easier to understand from the dancer's performance. Such as the class to enjoy the large-scale music and dance epic "East is red" is based on the history of China's revolutionary struggle, to the magnificent music and dance scenes, showing the Chinese people since 1921 to fight for liberation, celebrating the new life of the vivid picture.

3, dance plot grasp.

The plot of the dance is the evolutionary development process of the characters' lives and events in the melodrama and dance drama. By a series of characters and characters, characters and the environment between the relationship between the specific events of the process. The correct grasp of the plot determines whether the audience can really understand what the dancers interpret with their body language and the ideas they want to express. This is the so-called dance language. For example, Yang Wei, the chief choreographer of the large-scale dance "Red Plum Praise," understands that a speechless dance drama is valued for the simplicity and refinement of its storyline.

She uniquely designed and choreographed a wonderful stage picture: in the face of torture and temptation, Jiang was resolute and tenacious; the traitors wagged their tails and begged for mercy, serving as a tiger's accomplice. In the hunger strike, the "little carrot head" endures the torment of hunger, longing for the butterfly to fly freely in his little heart. In the madness of the massacre, the mother of the "Prison Flower" resolutely chose to sacrifice her life to death.

In the face of the dawn of victory, Sister Jiang, together with her friends, embroidered a bright five-star red flag with her loyalty. Under the banner waving in the wind, the warriors were immortalized in the blazing fire.

4, the design of the objective environment.

Dance is not simply a dancer's interpretation alone, a good dance and its indispensable objective environmental components. The so-called objective environment includes the stage background, lighting design, background music selection, dancer's costume design and so on. Do a good job of objective environment design can give a dance icing on the cake, do not do a good job, may also become a failure of the dance. We can divide the audience to appreciate the image of the dance into three kinds, namely, visual image, auditory image and kinesthetic image.

The so-called kinesthetic image refers to the emotional experience of a specific image that people experience through their own kinesthetic organs in the process of movement. The shaping of the kinesthetic image in the audience's mind often depends on the performance of the dancers on the stage. The visual image perceived by the audience through the eyes requires not only the excellent performance of the dancers, but also the careful design of the stage designer.

5, dance composition.

Dance composition is the dance picture, is the dance language on the stage in the way of existence and presentation, but also the dance in space and time and the dynamic structure of space. It generally refers to the dancer's line of movement and picture modeling in the stage space, and is one of the important means of expression of dance works.

Neat and uniform. Also known as simple unity, is the simplest kind of formal beauty law. Characterized by the absence of differences and consistency in formation, it can reflect the beauty of simplicity and neatness and give people an aesthetic feeling of rhythm and order.

Balanced symmetry. Also known as balanced symmetry, is slightly more complex than neat and uniform form of beauty. Regularity is characterized by both consistent repetition of the side, but also differences in the inconsistency of the side. But in the difference still maintains the consistency, symmetry, give a person peace, stable aesthetic feeling, and balance gives a person in the stability and has the freedom and flexibility of the pleasurable feeling.

Harmonization and contrast. The difference of things and the unity of contrast. Contrast gives people a sharp, eye-catching, exciting, active aesthetic feeling, and harmony gives people the pleasure of integration and coordination.

Diversity and unity. Also known as harmony. Is the highest form of beauty of the law, is neat and uniform, balanced and symmetrical, harmony and contrast and other forms of contrast and unity, so that people feel both rich and simple, both lively and orderly. Gives a person a whole, diverse aesthetic feeling. Dance composition can be planned for the dance to appreciate the overall effect of the ultimate, is also an indispensable part.
