On the Innovative Thinking of Modern Dance

According to historical research, modern dance? This word was first used by john martin, the founder of American modern dance theory. Modern dance, an art form, is a historical phenomenon in the early 20th century under the premise of opposing closed and rigid ballet. Constant traditional movements and stereotypes make dance lose its fresh breath and lofty taste. Artists are keen to return to nature and look at society with their own ideas and views. Embodied the value of self-existence, the appearance of isadora and Duncan set off a magnificent and vigorous dance revolution, but she didn't want to establish any new genre, just wanted to dance in her favorite way and let her mind and body be completely free, so as to call it? Dance of freedom? .

Second, the development of modern dance in Europe and America

Modern dancers after Duncan, like Ruth in America? Saint? Dennis and Sean, and Rudolf from Germany? Feng? Laban and Mary? As the real founders and pioneers of the first generation, Weigmann teachers and students gradually established and improved the theory and creative methods of modern dance, making modern dance an independent art form. This stage is called. Early modern dance? . With Martha? Influenced by German expressionism and humanistic spirit, and inspired by ancient culture, the second generation of mainstream modern dancers, represented by gleim, began to establish local dance images and seek a way out for their complicated and slightly chaotic emotional motives.

Modern dance is a trend, which marks the free space of thinking. Using the stereotypes and limitations of civilization to spread miracles unscrupulously, modern dance is a concept and thought is the premise. Every dancer has different pursuits and different aesthetic standards. Find your own direction. Show unique charm. The audience can learn new and strange moves, cough loudly and leave early. It makes you angry, makes you happy, makes you moved, makes you sick, but it can't make you indifferent. It affects your thoughts and makes you react.

Western modern dance has only experienced nearly a hundred years from its rise, development and formation. Although its history is very young, it represents an advanced idea and progressive proposition, and has become an important school that cannot be ignored in the development of human dance art.

1. Duncan, the mother of modern dance

In the opening remarks of Kurt Sachs' Preface to the History of World Dance, he wrote: Dance is the mother of all arts. ? I think other sister arts will definitely cast envious eyes on us. So ... whenever I talk about modern dance, I immediately see the picture of dancing barefoot in a Tunik shirt. Under her cry, the waves of new dance movements around the world were rolled up intentionally or unintentionally. Is she isadora, known as the mother of modern dance? Duncan. The purpose of Duncan's art is to free his body through dancing, so he really made a renaissance of human culture. Naturalism is one of her main creative sources. She has studied the flutter of flowers and the flying of bees, and even her first action was inspired by the rhythm of the waves. Seeing each other really naturally awakened her energy.

2. Martha, one of the three great artists? Gleim

Martha experienced almost all the development of American modern dance in the 20th century. Her complicated and contradictory ideological character and diverse cultural background make her appear in her works like an extremely unstable chemical reagent. She created 180 works in her life. Most of them tend to be introspective and devote themselves to depicting the inner picture of human beings. Through dancing, she released her pain, sadness and struggle into some kind of violence, and her resistance, rebellion and introspection formed her unique human aesthetic. The ups and downs of love also deeply affect her creative theme and style. She realizes life in the carnival and destruction of love, explores the confusion of life from different ideological cultures, seeks the origin of life, and truly becomes the pioneer of human nature. Dance is an inner emotional experience of her creation. The inner world can make her feel an unspeakable joy.

Third, the integration of eastern and western ideology and culture

Although the types of modern dance originated in the west, it does not mean that the soul and limbs of modern dance originated in the west. Almost all of them turned their eyes to the East and absorbed inexhaustible oriental ideology and culture. In the history of modern dance in Europe and America, Dennis, a famous modern dancer, thinks that oriental religion can best reflect human spiritual activities and spiritual epiphany, and dance is just the most suitable for expressing similar life experiences. Therefore, her dance absorbed many themes and emotional appeal of eastern religions. Such as White Jade Guanyin and Incense Burning. Her husband Sean also thinks that modern dance is the best way to preach, which shows that? Eternal peace? God's own activities? . Could it be? Forever spreading Buddhism to the East? Reincarnation? With Taoism? Immortality? The concept of discrimination created Shiva. Gleim, a student of Dennis, was also influenced by many oriental thoughts from her. Although the lingering mood and twisted lines do not conform to the typical American body and mind, she has always sincerely followed the eastern religious philosophy tradition and believed that the earth, not heaven, is the foundation of all things. So her technical training always starts from the ground. Even some skills. Sitting skills directly taken from yoga.

Fourth, suit both refined and popular tastes, integration? Civilization? In our society.

The development of modern dance in China has gone through a difficult course. From 1930s, the pioneers represented by Wu Xiaobang introduced western modern dance. Created a precedent for modern dance in China.

However, in the long history and culture of China, modern dance is still a young art. Most viewers can't accept it yet. Just one kind? Inner circle art? , did not completely break through their own aura, to the society, facing the public, lack of communication skills with the people, can not meet the human desire for art.

Now dance should be a folk art, from? Small circle? Integration? Civilization? In our society, if we want to develop, we must first survive, and what are the conditions for survival? Pleasing the audience? , we must consider accepting the level of aesthetics, and in? Pleasing the audience? Improve the aesthetic taste of the masses and make art play the social function of spiritual civilization construction. Now there are many works reflecting real life, which are more and more widely accepted. Wu Xiaobang's modern dance is based on the spirit of the times, and he feels the national feelings and the pulse of the times with his own heart. His dance art is closely linked with the fate of the people and deeply rooted in the soil of China, creating a modern dance that can hit the hearts of the audience.

To sum it up. After a century of ups and downs, modern dance has matured. It represents the advanced artistic concept, with a complete system and scientific creative methods. It is an art that keeps pace with the times and transcends the times. A good modern dance can make you never tire of watching it. I often watch Chang Xin, and every time I watch it, I have a little new feeling and inspiration. Modern dance has inexplicable thoughts, which shock the whole human mind. Its vitality lies in eternity.
