Unification: square dance will become radio gymnastics?
In fact, the square dance "prescribed action" has become a reality. The State General Administration of Sports released the day before yesterday 12 sets of square fitness gymnastics dance works, in the square dance community is very popular "Little Apple", "the most dazzling national wind" are on the list. Organizers said the launch of these works are created by experts, the future of square dance will no longer be a community a jump, but there will be a national uniform, choreographed scientific, bring positive energy to the new action.
Choreography experts said that these square dances are choreographed on five principles: the movement must be simple, each age group must be adapted to the amount of exercise, each music is universal music, to be grounded, to convey if a positive energy. Next, the organizers will vigorously promote and train these square dances. They are not only going to organize national square fitness gymnastics and dance exhibition activities (of course, they are all dancing unified square dance), but also to provide a variety of courses.
But the news caused quite a buzz when it broke. Every night in the Lu Ban Road Quxi Road open space to dance in the square dance grandma Chen granny said to the youth newspaper reporter: "Neat and tidy square dance? Is that not radio gymnastics? At that time there were the first few sets of radio gymnastics, the country's schools are uniform, neat is neat, but that's not art ah!" In fact, the organizers seem to see the square dance as radio gymnastics, so the name is also called "square fitness gymnastics dance works".
Another square dancer, Mrs. Xu, told reporters that a group of old ladies dance is their own design. Often, when it is cold, more choreographed to move the joints, when it is hot, more choreographed to twist the waist. They did whatever they wanted and were very comfortable. This news makes Xu A grandmother vaguely worried: "This unified square dance, will it be mandatory to promote?"
Embarrassed: "unification" is often ignored
In recent years, the square dance is a big hit, all over the world also began to hold a variety of square dance competitions, the old ladies on the stage to freely show off their style, youthful glow, is indeed a very good appreciation of art. But the reporter noted that these competitions are not "prescribed action", free to give free play to the dancers, appear to be very free and confident. It is no wonder that 12 sets of "square fitness gymnastics dance works" was launched, caused a discussion.
In recent years, the authorities like to carry out some of the so-called "unification" action. For example, the youth newspaper has paid attention to the release of a "standard statue of Confucius" in his hometown of Qufu. The standard image of Confucius will be framed as a broad nose, wide mouth, thick eyebrows, long beard, Chinese character face, eyes gentle. Considering itself to be a "standard statue", Qufu called on the whole country to try to adopt a uniform look for Confucius. Coincidentally, Cao Xueqin's hometown of Liaoning also released the "Cao Xueqin standard like", Shandong Huimin County released the "Sun Wu standard like", Shanxi Xiezhou Guandi Temple Cultural Relics Depository also intends to release the "standard like Guan Yu ".
People describe Shakespeare's plays as wonderful, usually say "a thousand eyes have a thousand Hamlets". In the same way, there are a thousand Confuciuses in a thousand eyes, and a thousand Cao Xueqin in a thousand eyes. Of course, there are also a thousand square dancers in a thousand eyes. The blossoming of a hundred flowers is the real charm of art. And now once a so-called "standard", the pursuit of "uniformity", the pursuit of uniformity, it is clearly against the laws of art, art is no longer art.
And in fact, each organization has the right to launch their own art in their minds, but if you have to set it as a "standard", as if the whole country should learn from it, this is more or less a little bit of the flavor of imposition. As a matter of fact, many of the "standardized" arts have not been standardized in the end, and people are still doing what they want, enjoying the spontaneity of art. Not many people will pay attention to the "unification".
