In the past, the most lively place in Shanghai was the Lane, which carries children's memories of the time when they were crowded in the Lane and bustling around, and when they were not doing anything, they would move a small stool to bask in the sun and play and play, just like the scene shown in our dance.
Specific Advantages
The dance creation of "playing those yellowed memories of Shanghai's alleys" achieves the ultimate goal of "dancing to enrich the heart, dancing to nurture the feelings" pointed out by the dance education for young people. The first chord of "Memories of the Lane", which highlights the life scenes of children playing and frolicking in the Lane, plays the childish memories of the 1950s and 1960s in the old Shanghai, which are innocent and childish.
Using the street vendors of the old Shanghai market, "hopscotch", "jumping ribbons", "rolling iron circles" and other alley games, these alleys are full of humanistic scenes, and the young and old are all in a state of flux. As well as the old Shanghai nursery rhyme "It's raining", which is familiar to young and old alike, as the musical theme melody, it instantly draws the viewer into the space of the old Shanghai alley from both visual and auditory perspectives.
In such a time-traveling image, a series of dance motifs that portray the psychological characteristics of children in the alley when it rains, such as hiding from the rain, playing with the rain, catching the rain and treading on the water, which are extracted from real life, are used as a means of expression to present a scenic, interesting and tasty scene of the old Shanghai alley. Among them, the dance uses oil paper umbrellas as props, and through the lighting rendering and music, the dance imagery unique to old Shanghai is interwoven.
