From the perspective of prehistoric art function, dance (accompanied by shouting) undertakes all the tasks of the two symbols mentioned by symbolists-rational symbols and emotional symbols, and plays various functions of communication, narration, ideographic expression and self-expression at the beginning of various life, so as to communicate with nature, gods and others. Man is self-centered, expressing the meaning he found in nature, showing his creativity and imagination, showing his transcendence over nature as a "man", realizing self-display through performance and communication, or gaining some material and spiritual benefits; Soviet aestheticians defined dance as: "Dance is an art to explain people's thoughts and feelings through artistic images, which are composed of rhythmic and organized changes in human posture, forming a certain system." Duncan, the mother of modern dance, believes that "creative activities that express thoughts and feelings through physical movements are all dance art."
The uniqueness of dance lies in that it profoundly reflects the true meaning of human feelings, humanity and life with the dynamic beauty of human body, shows its artistic charm to the maximum extent, and makes people infected and enlightened in visual experience and spiritual experience. Dance appreciation is an aesthetic activity that takes the works performed by dancers as the main object of appreciation, and the appreciator produces by appreciating the dynamic beauty of the human body displayed in the works. It is the basic content of dance creation. In dance, by appreciating and expressing the aesthetic activities of dance, the appreciator can fully experience the beauty of dance and the rich emotions expressed in it, and be attracted by the realm of goodness and beauty expressed by dance, causing inner vibration, and then generating strong emotional response and experience. It can improve the appreciator's aesthetic ability of dance, absorb the creative techniques of dance through the appreciation and analysis of dance works, and at the same time, draw creative inspiration and motivation from the works while appreciating the dance works.
First, the significance of dance appreciation
Dance is a comprehensive performing art, and dance appreciation is also a creative feeling process, a complex spiritual activity with relatively unified feeling and understanding, emotion and understanding. It is a series of processes in which the appreciator understands the life phenomenon reflected by the dance images created in the dance works, understands the thoughts and feelings contained in them, appreciates other forms, rhythms and expressions of beauty, thus subtly accepting infection, raising awareness, being educated and promoting creation. It needs subjective psychological activities such as feeling, understanding, association and imagination and comprehensive thinking in images, so as to achieve a concrete grasp of dance works and thus complete the aesthetic process of dance. Appreciators should follow the author's theme, dance means and dance image to understand his feelings about life, so as to produce emotional reactions, and then understand the social life content and theme thought reflected in the works.
In the process of dance appreciation, imagination plays an important role. Through feeling, imagination, experience and understanding, the appreciator "recreates" the artistic image in the dance works into the artistic image in his own mind, and "reevaluates" the life reflected by art through "recreating". It is in this spiritual activity of "re-creation" that the appreciator can feel and experience the artistic image more deeply, discover or dig out the inner beauty and formal beauty of the artistic image, and have a strong feeling and heartfelt joy. Dance appreciation is not only a passive acceptance process, but also has a negative effect on the appreciator. Through the relationship between appreciation and experience, the significance of dance appreciation is embodied.
Second, the relationship between dance appreciation and dance creation
As a creator of dance, we should not only have our own unique artistic opinions and dance feelings, but also have profound artistic appreciation and evaluation ability, so as to sum up the connotation, significance and spiritual expression of dance art and learn from the creative advantages and expression forms of good dance works. His comprehensive absorption of what he saw and thought has developed into the basic essence and utilization material of his own creation. The relationship between dance appreciation and dance creation can be summarized as follows:
1. Inspire dance creation and promote the search for creative motivation.
(1) Subjective search and search
The so-called subjective search is to take the initiative to grab the good form and content from the dance you see in the process of dance appreciation. After thinking and summing up, we will brew the blending of thoughts and emotions, subjectively find the theme and ideas of creation, find the materials and inspiration we need from the scope of our appreciation, and seek the theme direction and performance content of creation in combination with our own creation.
(2) Unintentional inspiration trigger and motivation flash
Unintentional inspiration triggering and motivation flashing refers to triggering one's own psychological will to create through appreciating works in a random state, and developing into a subjective will to create through one's own understanding and expression. It is an accidental phenomenon in the process of appreciation, an inspiration spark caused by the flash of artistic essence in the process of self-cultivation and appreciation of the creator, and a subconscious flash of creative motivation.
2. Dance appreciation promotes the accumulation of creative dance language.
Dance vocabulary (action) can only be enriched through daily accumulation, and it can be easily obtained in creation with considerable accumulation. Only by understanding the movements clearly can we find out the laws of their movement changes, and then further develop and change these movements.
In addition, by appreciating and absorbing the thoughts and methods of analyzing people's labor or other habitual actions observed in daily life, we can understand their patterns, action rules and rhythm, and choose typical and representative ones to beautify and refine them, so as to make them become shining and glorious dance images. By appreciating the typical performance of dance materials, we can create vivid and full dance images.
3. Dance appreciation has inserted the wings of imagination into dance creation.
Imagination is a common technique in literary works. Wonderful imagination is like a magic wand in a fairy tale. There will be strange changes when you get there. The English poet Young said:
"An original writer's pen, like Amitabha's wand, can evoke a splendid spring in the desert." If the dance is to be original, imagination is an important factor to achieve this goal. In the process of dance appreciation, through the appreciation and appreciation of the music, composition, picture, lighting, clothing, props, movements, artistic conception and other aspects of the work, the imagination can be confiscated, the understanding of the work can be deepened, and it is more conducive to the absorption and utilization of creative nutrition. Dance appreciation has inserted the wings of imagination into dance creation and provided a broad imagination space and creative foundation.
4. Absorb the essence of art and promote creative breakthrough.
All art is a reflection of life, so is dance. The creative process of dance is an artistic phenomenon from concrete to abstract, and at the same time it can return to concrete; Wen Yiduo believes that dance is the most direct, substantial, sharp, simple and full way to express life sentiment. Dance gives the audience a clearer understanding through the image of dance. Therefore, creators should master and absorb all kinds of dances they appreciate, so as to enrich and enrich their own creations, draw nutrition from them, and combine their own understanding of artistic beauty to create beautiful dances. While absorbing the essence of art, we should dare to try to break through and develop, and create new artistic content and expression elements. The concrete contents of dance's noumenon consciousness and subject consciousness must be adapted to the objective real life and have a distinct color of the times. In other words, we should absorb various artistic essences in dance creation to promote the development of creation.
5. Dance creation reacts on dance appreciation.
Dance appreciation is not only a passive acceptance process, but also a response to the creator; Through this reciprocal relationship between the author and the audience, the significance of dance appreciation is reflected. As a spiritual aesthetic activity, dance appreciation is a bridge between dance art and appreciation, dance activities and social activities, and it is also a way to express and highlight the artistic value of dance works. A classic work of dance art can stand the appreciation and criticism of the audience, because a good dance can only be recognized and praised by the public through appreciation, and it can be called a successful work, which can reflect its artistic value and better promote dance creation.
Scientific and positive dance appreciation can promote and sublimate dance creation, which not only contributes to the renewal and development of dance creators' creative ideas, but also promotes the improvement of dance creation and performers' quality. Through appreciation, understanding and creative practice, we can deeply and completely feel the charm and beauty of dance, and refine, comprehend, explore and sublimate the performance techniques of dance repeatedly in the process of dance appreciation, learning and thinking, so as to draw rich nutrition for dance creation, cultivate artistic conception and expressive force, and give full play to artistic appeal.
