Analysis of factors in the creation of children's dance
Children's dance is a colorful painting, an innocent poem, a display of the child's heart, a depiction of the child's interest. In order to better, more detailed creation of excellent children's dance, we must understand the factors affecting the creation of children's dance.
First, by the psychological characteristics of children and young people
Children and young people with the growth of age, their physical activity ability has made great progress, the movement has become more flexible and coordinated. At the same time, their inner world is very rich and beautiful, and their characteristics and methods of perceiving things are unique.
1. The fun of children and teenagers dance
Due to the characteristics of the psychological development of the limitations of the children in the participation of dance activities, often subject to the emotional factors of the domination of their aesthetic experience of the work of art is often perceptual, intuitive. If children's interest cannot be effectively stimulated and mobilized in the process of early childhood dance creation, they will feel boring, and the original very natural expression will disappear.
In order to keep the children's interest from the beginning to the end, we should skillfully combine dance and games in the creation. Children are playful and curious by nature, and in the process of playing, they show a high degree of concentration and extreme emotional involvement. If we harmonize the dance and the game, and around a kernel of thought, to be the body of the exaggeration and deformation, and then form a full of children's interest in the artistic style of dance form, can make the dance become vivid and touching. For example, in the dance "My Chickens", a group of children pretending to be chickens squatting in a basket, a child feeding chickens removed the gauze on top of the basket, so the chickens happily ran out, chased and played, and a chicken also pecked its companion's finger. Later, the child drove the chicks back into the basket, but one chick just wouldn't go in? It is precisely because of this dance and the game cleverly combined together, only to make this dance become more vivid and childlike.
2. The knowledge-based nature of early childhood dance
Aristotle believed that: ? Children have the ability to imitate from the beginning. Imitation is learning. Piaget believes that: children's imitation can produce representations, is later to form the preparation of thinking, and imitation is precisely the main means of children's daily life to grow knowledge and ability. Such as children in the dance to imitate the small goldfish in the lake head swinging free form, in the imitation of pulling carrots in the action to experience? The truth of "many hands make light work". The reasoning of "many hands make light work". But we should note that children's dance is not imitative dance. Only in the imitation of the depth of the longitudinal, take its essence, children's dance works may be the children's life, the spirit of the children's feelings of the true portrayal. For example, the children's dance "Fish Come Quickly" depicts the life of a little girl who saw a beautiful and lively little goldfish in the park and captured it after she loved it. Lost freedom of the little goldfish swimming and bumping around, terrified of the uneasy scene hit the little girl's kind heart. At this time, she saw a notice on the lake prohibiting fishing, so she released the little goldfish back into the lake. The dance takes love as the main line of development, showing the little girl's love of nature and her caring personality. It shows the children's life scenes of fish watching and fishing, and also reflects the social moral constraints on children's behavior. This is the rich connotation of the dance.
3. Fantasy in Children's Dance
Fantasy is usually the most significant mark that defines children's art, because fantasy is the most active factor in children's mental activities. In dance, they can fly in the sky like a bird, be the king of the ants on the ground, or be a little superhero traveling in space, and so on. Children in the process of fantasy real and strong emotions and direct expression of the characteristics of the imagination, it is the children's dance image of support.
Second, the content of life and the influence of the environment
Children's dance art work is a reflection of the objective life through the human brain thinking and artistic processing of reproduction. The rich and colorful life makes children fascinated, the creation of children's dance should grasp the pulse of children's lives.
1. Carefully observe the flash of children's lives
Today, living in the city and the countryside, the children in developed areas in some ways are different, we should strive to carefully capture the flash of children's lives. For example, "Step by Step" is a typical example. In childhood, everyone wants to grow up quickly, and often compare each other's heights because of this. The creator of this theme will be artistic high work. Make the ordinary small things in life become good works with far-reaching connotations and full of children's interests. This is the choreographer in the careful observation of life on the basis of a unique insight into life. Another example is the dance "Laundry Song" through the laundry labor scene to reflect the love of the army and the people, many details are fascinating, but if you let the children to perform, it is difficult to show its original ideological connotation.
2. Performance of life interest
Children's dance from life, but the dance action is not a simple copy and reproduction of natural life action, he needs to be carefully selected, refined and organized, the use of simulation and symbolism, the life of the action of the typical, so that the sublimation of the action of the expressive, giving people the intention of the beauty of it. We create children's dance, to guide children according to the interesting image of the action to imagine the action expresses a kind of what kind of emotion, such as asking children according to a certain action to imagine that this is the performance of the rainy day play scene, or across the stream when the kind of tread on the stone carefully mood, etc., gradually attract children *** with the participation of dance creation.
3. Comprehensive consideration of various artistic means
Although children's dance originates from the children's life, it is also characterized by dance performance art, so it needs comprehensive means of art to cooperate with the expression of the connotation of the work. As a performing art, a successful dance work not only needs good content, form, action, but also needs lighting, props, music, costumes and other comprehensive qualities.
Music is the soul of dance. Good music is easy to stimulate the imagination of the choreographer, more performers and the audience to produce **** Ming. We can choose the children are familiar with and love the excellent children's songs, through the addition of backing vocals, variations of interludes and other forms, they will be recorded into a complete children's dance music. The best choice of music melodic, easy to remember and learn; strong image, feelings and things; rhythmic, fast and slow moderate, strong and weak clearly; strong childish, lively and light.
For a long time, the value of dance education in China has been underestimated. Many people believe that the dance ability to train only a few people in the future to specialize in dance work is necessary for the general student is just a touch, China's primary education has been to the university education has never been included in the mandatory dance courses, only a few conditions of better schools in the extracurricular activities to join some of the dance activities. Dance, which is the ability to control the limbs to accomplish complex movements, is an important intelligence in itself and is part of basic education. The improvement of dance ability has a considerable contribution to the learning of other subjects. Studies have shown that students who have studied dance have higher academic performance in all subjects than those who have not studied dance, and students who have studied dance for a long time have better academic performance in all subjects than those who have studied dance for a short time.
Through dance, people can better feel and express their emotions, and better relieve tension, which will have a great effect on the development of self-understanding. Many dance activities require collective participation, such as duo, trio, group dance, etc. It is very important for performers to have tacit understanding and harmonious cooperation with each other, and such experience will enhance people's recognition of collective cooperation.
In summary, the benefits of dance art education are manifold, and it is an indispensable and important part of improving national quality.
