Dream Back to Jiangning is selected from the ballet Cao Xueqin's Dream Back to Jiangning. The bottom of the flowerpot is the iconic shoe of Manchu women in Qing Dynasty. The height of 7 inches is straight for women's manners, but it also makes balance and movement more difficult.
Dancers not only dance gracefully in high heels. It also takes advantage of the height and instability of the bottom of the flowerpot, and combines the difficulties of lifting shoes, weightlessness and leg control to make the dance more lively and agile, presenting the ultimate aesthetics.
It is also difficult for actors to rehearse this dance. From the beginning, I walked unsteadily and often sprained my ankle and bled. In the end, I made great efforts.
Dance drama Cao Xueqin's Breaking Time and Space
The ballet "Cao Xueqin" is set in characters experience, which breaks the inherent boundary between time and space, and uses a large number of arrangement techniques of reverse time and staggered time and space. In flashback and interpolation, the protagonist from rich to poor, from love to separation, from yearning to gathering, from ambition to disillusionment, from bitter writing to peak presentation, all the threads are intertwined.
The director is Liu Zhen, vice chairman of Beijing Dancers Association, chairman of Beijing Haidian Dancers Association and head of the Youth Dance Troupe of Beijing Dance Academy. In the dance field, she won all the highest prizes in the national dance competition, and starred in dance dramas such as Road, A Bing and Dream of Dunhuang.
Because of his rich performance experience, Liu Zhen asked that even if he only turned around for 2 seconds, he should bring in the emotions of the characters. On the core of the theme of expressing "love", the dance drama takes China classical dance as the main way of presentation, and at the same time, it also brings together a variety of dance forms, integrating music, chanting, calligraphy and other artistic forms.
