Arrangement of Fate
Drolma remembers with a smile in her eyes the one choice she was grateful for all her life, yet it was a passive one.In 1978, the art department of the Central Institute for Nationalities came to Tibet to enroll students. Drolma accompanied her best friend to the examination, she stood quietly behind a tree and watched others take the test, but did not have the courage to go forward. When the exam was about to end, a teacher saw Drolma shrinking behind a tree and asked her, "Little girl, do you want to try?" At that time Drolma was still a Tibetan girl who couldn't dance. It can be said that she opened the door to the world of dance with "Sing a Mountain Song to the Party". It was the teacher's offhand question that changed her life.
In a sense, it was the dance that chose Zhuo Ma rather than her choice of dance, but this art of physical expression became the best way for the introverted Zhuo Ma to interpret her life and express her feelings in later years.
Bright smile
In the face of God's generous treatment, Drolma returned the favor with a heart full of love and diligent study. She danced her way through her teenage and young adult years, she danced and rotated on stage after stage, portraying one unforgettable image after another, bringing the audience to be touched again and again. On the stage, she shaped the most than the mother, even at the age of 7 years old, just assigned to the Tibet Autonomous Region Dance Troupe's first official stage - in a large-scale modern dance drama "Reba love" in the mother is also dancing. For the young Zhuo Ma, it was difficult to grasp this kind of dance role that required a certain amount of accumulation, and she performed her first dance, Mother, at the Solo Dance Gala in 1993. In the portrayal of this image, Zhuo Ma is not limited to the external performance, and strive to show the inner world, will be hard work, selfless nurturing "mother" performance, not only in the form, but also with the spirit of motherhood to show a real Tibetan old mother. Behind this image is the vast and boundless Tibetan land. She is sometimes soothing and sometimes exuberant, and the bending of her waist implies a beauty of bearing pressure and resisting suffering. An expert in the dance world evaluated her this way: in her leaping figure, although you can see the ancient simplicity of folk dance, but more striking and shocking is her magnificent and dashing temperament, the bold exaggeration and deformation of the task modeling, blazing like a fire burning with the enthusiasm of the times.......
The performance was an instant success, and when her dance steps When she ended on the last note, the whole audience erupted into a long and unceasing applause, and some of the audience even shed tears. Zhuo Ma most gratified and most touched is many viewers have seen her performance will say: "Zhuo Ma, I must go to Tibet ......" and every time this time, Zhuo Ma smiled most brightly.
Dance inspiration
Besides performances and practicing, Drolma likes to use her pen to record some emotional and very delicate things. Sometimes, while writing, she is inspired to dance, and she incorporates this inspiration into her own creations. In her opinion, dance is an extension of language, which can touch the depths of the soul. The creative process of "Everest" is a good example, Zhuo Ma only used 20 days to complete its creation and moved to the stage, and in one fell swoop won the second "Peach and Lee Cup" Dance Competition Award. Zhuo Ma told me that the creation of dance time in fact does not have a certain rule, sometimes it may be very long, sometimes it can be very short, completely based on the inspiration of the surge. Zhuo Ma put their own hot feelings for their hometown into one after another strong rapid rotation. In the end, she created a myth of Tibetan dance.
Now that Zhuo Ma is a mother, the birth of her child has become the latest focus of her life. "When I first saw him I was honestly scared, he was so small, so small what to do? I don't even dare to touch him ......" Zhuo Ma smiled as she recalled her first-time mother's worry, this worry out of love must be every mother has ever had. The birth of the child brought her more busy, but she is very happy, very happy.
