Due to social and historical reasons, Chinese mainland compatriots, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao compatriots who live in the same land and are sons and daughters of China have been separated for a long time, making it difficult to communicate with each other. However, mountains and rivers cannot separate them from the same desire to try their best to carry forward the Chinese culture. In the history of contemporary dance development in China, there are not only outstanding achievements of mainland dancers, but also historic contributions of Taiwan Province and Hongkong dancers.
First, the development of contemporary dance in Taiwan Province Province
In 1950s and 1960s, although there were performances of the dance drama "Great Harmony World" directed by Li, Cai Ruiyue and Xu Huimei and activities of some dance societies in Taiwan Province Province, dance was still in a temporary and occasional state, only a few people liked it, and mass dance activities were more than theater dance art performances. In the 1970s, Lin Huaimin returned from studying modern dance in the United States, and 1973 was established? Cloud Gate Dance Collection? Taiwan Province Provincial Professional Dance Troupe was established. He created and performed dances with traditional themes, such as scenery, cold food, strange grievances and the legend of white snake. After 1977, he entered the local theme dance and created and performed dance dramas such as Wu Feng, Biography of Salary and Liao Tianding. In the 1980s, modern dances such as Dream of Red Mansions, Spring Sacrifice, Dreamland, My Homesickness and My Song were introduced. In 1980s, You and his dance troupe were very active, creating and performing dance dramas such as Camel Xiangzi, Yu, Ci and Qu Yuan, and a series of dances such as Black Angel, One's Life and Heaven and Earth. At the same time, ballet in Taiwan Province Province has also developed. Yao's classical ballet performances include Giselle, Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty 1980 or so. On May/May/5th, 20 10, Taiwan Province Art Institute performed The Legend of Dragon Palace, which was composed by Ma Sicong, directed by Li and directed by Yao, marking the birth of China ballet in Taiwan Province. From 65438 to 0990, the school performed two representative ballets, Swan Lake and Nutcracker, which showed a new level of ballet development in Taiwan Province Province. In addition, the Taipei National Orchestra also organized and performed dance dramas such as Love in Mongolia and China, Butterfly Lovers and New Music and Dance in the Book of Songs. In addition, the neoclassical dance company in Liu Fengxue was founded in 1976, and its activities in 198 1 year gradually decreased. 199 1 year came back to create snow festivals, evocation, bran poems, black holes, Cao Pi.
Taiwan Province Province has not been in contact with the mainland for 40 years, but they are very similar in the basic concept of developing dance, and they are both seeking the way of combining East and West to develop contemporary dance in China. However, due to the different objective environment, its manifestations are also very different. Mainland dancers are deeply influenced by tradition, with strong national foundation, rigor and standardization; Liu Fengxue, Lin Huaimin, You and other Taiwan Province dancers benefited from the influence of western modern dance and paid more attention to abstraction and freedom. However, based on their sincerity to the nation and dance, they pay more attention to the personalized development of the integration of eastern and western dance cultures, thus forming their own formal style, which has outstanding modernity, nationality and personal style.
Secondly, the development of contemporary dance in Hong Kong
Although Hongkong was leased to Britain in 1842, the vast majority of its residents are still from China. China's traditional customs and national cultural awareness have a far-reaching influence, and people from the mainland and Hongkong can still communicate. Therefore, the development of dance in Hong Kong is deeply influenced by the Mainland. People in China are nostalgic, and there are dance parties in their hometown to celebrate this festival every day, such as dragon dancing, lion dancing and yangko dancing. In the 1940s, when Dai came back from England, she was first invited by Soong Ching Ling to lead the dance? Alliance for the Defence of China? Fundraising benefit, China New Dance opens in Hongkong. 1946, Liang Lun, Chen and others performed dances such as "Dancing the Moon" and "Youth Dance Music" in cooperation with China Song and Dance Drama Art Society, which had a great influence on students and citizens. In the 1950s and 1960s, some dances created in the Mainland were performed in the amateur activities of Hong Kong people. Later, some mainland dancers came to Hong Kong and set up some private dance clubs. There are more and more people studying dance in Hong Kong, but there are fewer and fewer specialized practitioners.
Sheng Xing is the mainstream modern dance in Hong Kong in 1980s. 198 1 year, the British Hong Kong government established the Hong Kong Dance Company. Before that, there were the Hong Kong Ballet and the Urban Contemporary Dance Company founded by Cao Chengyuan in 1979. These three troupes and the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts established by 198 1 have become the main force in the development of contemporary dance in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Dance Company has successively created and performed dance dramas such as Romance in the East China Sea, Stone, Flowers in a New Mirror, Painted Skin, Jade Sister and Yellow Land directed by Chen Hua, Ying Caiding, and 65,430 people have performed two dramas, Jade Girl and Yellow Land. Most of the creative staff of the dance troupe are from Chinese mainland, and Shu Qiao, the artistic director, is a famous choreographer in Shanghai. The city's contemporary dance troupe can be said to have been established by Hong Kong dancers born and bred. Their creations are mostly based on their feelings about contemporary life in Hong Kong, so they have more local cultural characteristics in Hong Kong. His representative works include Cao Chengyuan's I am a madman of the Chu people, Requiem and Under the spotlight, Li Haining's relentless journey, debut of black powder, Sleepless Night and their cooperative dance drama Myth China.
