臺(tái)風(fēng)“瑪莉亞”靠近臺(tái)灣島時(shí),學(xué)生們正在校園里的草坪上無憂無慮地跳著舞。“我叫劉柏吟,來自臺(tái)灣藝術(shù)大學(xué)舞蹈學(xué)系,今天很熱,但是心情很嗨!”其中一組,女孩一邊跳舞一邊做自我介紹,其他組員圍在她身邊,捂著耳朵搖擺,那是她為組員設(shè)計(jì)的動(dòng)作。每個(gè)人都跳出來當(dāng)主角,以獨(dú)具個(gè)性的方式介紹自己,同時(shí)其他組員配合作“綠葉”,氣氛歡快融洽。北京師范大學(xué)、首都師范大學(xué)、臺(tái)灣藝術(shù)大學(xué)的32名學(xué)生,因舞蹈而相聚,風(fēng)風(fēng)雨雨與浪漫情懷反而讓他們更加緊密地團(tuán)結(jié)在一起,有學(xué)生說:“我想在臺(tái)風(fēng)里跳舞!”
這是由中國舞協(xié)主辦、臺(tái)灣藝術(shù)大學(xué)承辦的“匯聚與奔流——2018海峽兩岸青少年舞蹈交流展演”,中國舞協(xié)、中國文聯(lián)舞蹈藝術(shù)中心負(fù)責(zé)人以及大陸高校師生一行32人赴臺(tái)參加交流展演活動(dòng)。自7月7日至14日短短幾天時(shí)間里,兩岸師生同吃同住,以舞會(huì)友,從臺(tái)灣藝術(shù)大學(xué),到東海大學(xué)、亞洲大學(xué),感受臺(tái)灣不同高校人文風(fēng)情,一起切磋舞藝,交流情感,互相碰撞出創(chuàng)意的火花,分組即興創(chuàng)作出3部作品,進(jìn)行戶外演練,并聯(lián)合演出,匯報(bào)表演創(chuàng)作成果。
32名學(xué)生分為3組,由不同的老師指導(dǎo)進(jìn)行編創(chuàng)實(shí)踐,在交流互動(dòng)中收獲良多,彼此學(xué)習(xí)到不同的運(yùn)用身體的方式和思維方式,也建立起深厚的友誼。臺(tái)灣藝術(shù)大學(xué)舞蹈學(xué)系學(xué)生劉柏吟從小學(xué)習(xí)舞蹈,舞蹈已經(jīng)成為她的生活必需品。交流中,她發(fā)現(xiàn)大陸同學(xué)跳舞時(shí)身體重心高,而臺(tái)灣同學(xué)身體往低里走,會(huì)在地板上滾來滾去,“看到不一樣的舞者的支體表達(dá),會(huì)覺得‘咦,很特別’,可以汲取不同的營養(yǎng)。舞者最大的困難是突破自己,這就需要透過交流來開闊視野,以此開拓自我空間”。雷金鵬來自首都師范大學(xué),之前沒有在戶外草坪上訓(xùn)練過,大都是在舞蹈教室自己練習(xí),現(xiàn)在和同學(xué)們一起創(chuàng)作,“感覺自由而新鮮,交流起來很愉快”。北京師范大學(xué)學(xué)生常譽(yù)錕說,臺(tái)灣師生都很熱情友善,就像回到家一樣,尤其是臺(tái)灣老師以鼓勵(lì)的方式教學(xué),氛圍輕松,經(jīng)常會(huì)豎起大拇指說“nice”,得到鼓勵(lì)越多狀態(tài)越好,身體的潛能也在不斷得到開發(fā)。常譽(yù)錕已經(jīng)是第三次參加海峽兩岸青少年舞蹈交流展演,與之前的臺(tái)灣同學(xué)一直保持著聯(lián)系,平時(shí)去哪里演出,都會(huì)通過微信彼此交流心得。

7月12日,匯報(bào)展演的日子到了,3組即興創(chuàng)作在臺(tái)灣藝術(shù)大學(xué)驚艷亮相,風(fēng)格各異,一組以桌子為道具,一組以雙人舞為主,一組是富有情緒與故事的群舞,學(xué)生們舞姿飽滿流暢,美與充沛的情感在舞臺(tái)上流淌,每組都令人眼前一亮。其中第一組表演時(shí),舞臺(tái)上,桌子時(shí)而高聳如山,時(shí)而流動(dòng)似海,有時(shí)桌子本身就是一個(gè)小小的舞臺(tái),學(xué)生們圍繞桌子即興舞蹈,迸發(fā)出蓬勃的生命力。他們的指導(dǎo)老師是臺(tái)灣知名青年舞蹈編導(dǎo)黃懷德,曾受邀擔(dān)任《云門2》編舞。黃懷德說,這個(gè)即興創(chuàng)作就像是人生的旅程,你走過一個(gè)個(gè)地方,跨過高山大海,學(xué)生們可以把自己對(duì)人生的理解、自己的人生經(jīng)驗(yàn)融入其中,釋放自我,而不必按一種規(guī)定動(dòng)作來做,“把不同的個(gè)性擺在一起,就是人生,就是世界”。做慢下來的舞蹈,像周星馳那樣“玩”,是黃懷德傳達(dá)給學(xué)生們的舞蹈理念,周星馳的作品中有“真”,“你們就認(rèn)真地去玩那一支舞,‘真’就會(huì)被表現(xiàn)出來!”
“他們真是太棒了!”中國舞協(xié)副主席山翀觀看后評(píng)價(jià)說,3個(gè)節(jié)目有共性也各具特色,每位指導(dǎo)老師的出發(fā)點(diǎn)是讓學(xué)生開放個(gè)性、釋放自我,每個(gè)節(jié)目里都有3所學(xué)校的學(xué)生,“我看不出哪個(gè)是臺(tái)灣的學(xué)生,哪個(gè)是大陸的學(xué)生,兩岸完全融合在一起,恰恰印證了‘匯聚與奔流’的主題?!彼赋?,交流不是各自表演各自的,而是大家彼此交融,高校學(xué)生間的交流也是最好的方式,真正做到了融洽的交流。臺(tái)灣大學(xué)舞蹈學(xué)系主任曾照薰說,她一邊看一邊感動(dòng)得眼里含著淚水,完全分辨不出這是3個(gè)學(xué)校的同學(xué),舞臺(tái)上舞蹈是需要有呼吸的,可以看到同學(xué)們的同聲相應(yīng)、同氣相求,“兩岸青年學(xué)子手挽手在一起,跳雙人舞,一邊是臺(tái)灣學(xué)生,一邊是大陸學(xué)生,非常有愛有意義,真正是‘海峽兩岸,共舞未來’”。
即興創(chuàng)作成果展演的同時(shí),3所學(xué)校及臺(tái)灣體育運(yùn)動(dòng)大學(xué)學(xué)生還各自帶來《池墨潑飛云》《Jasmine》《木蘭》《行云流水》《山河圖》等節(jié)目,互相切磋,吸引了上百位臺(tái)灣市民前來觀看,獲得好評(píng)。市民劉雅各翻開節(jié)目單告訴記者,幾個(gè)帶有傳統(tǒng)文化韻味的舞蹈他都很喜歡,正是大陸學(xué)生表演的節(jié)目。《山河圖》編導(dǎo)張蓀、葉波介紹說,《山河圖》靈感來源于北宋名畫《千里江山圖》,嘗試將古典舞與中國傳統(tǒng)書畫結(jié)合,借鑒其中豐富的用色、多點(diǎn)平行透視的畫法與亦靜亦動(dòng)的氣韻等,使靜的畫面轉(zhuǎn)化為動(dòng)的舞姿,讓山山水水活起來。
活動(dòng)期間還舉行了“藝姿舞態(tài)展新意”兩岸名家論壇,山翀、張萍、葉波、于大雪及曾照薰、賴秀峰、王廣生等來自北京師范大學(xué)、首都師范大學(xué)、“臺(tái)灣中華舞蹈學(xué)會(huì)” 、臺(tái)灣藝術(shù)大學(xué)等的兩岸名家結(jié)合具體舞蹈作品就當(dāng)下舞蹈創(chuàng)作狀況與發(fā)展趨勢(shì)、兩岸舞蹈教育現(xiàn)狀、舞臺(tái)人物塑造等話題展開深入探討,不約而同指出兩岸文化同根同源,舞蹈要從傳統(tǒng)文化中汲取營養(yǎng),動(dòng)作要去技巧化,從內(nèi)心情感出發(fā)才能讓人物活起來,傳遞出兩岸舞蹈理念的相通之處。中國文聯(lián)舞蹈藝術(shù)中心副主任張萍表示,兩岸舞蹈有相近的理念與發(fā)展態(tài)勢(shì),找到中國現(xiàn)代舞在世界現(xiàn)代舞氛圍中特定的支點(diǎn),往更縱深的空間去交流,這是需要兩岸共同努力的,“因?yàn)槲覀兊纳眢w基因相似,文化基因同質(zhì)”。在延續(xù)以往論壇交流與實(shí)踐創(chuàng)作等環(huán)節(jié)的基礎(chǔ)上,此次活動(dòng)新增舞蹈影像創(chuàng)作實(shí)踐交流,邀請(qǐng)中國傳媒大學(xué)團(tuán)隊(duì)拍攝紀(jì)錄片與短片,拓展舞蹈與影像的結(jié)合,為展演注入新的活力。
“海峽兩岸青少年舞蹈交流展演”是中國舞協(xié)對(duì)臺(tái)灣地區(qū)的品牌交流項(xiàng)目,以“海峽兩岸,共舞未來”為主題,每次組織兩岸藝術(shù)院校師生共同學(xué)習(xí)交流,展示學(xué)習(xí)創(chuàng)作成果,為兩岸青少年舞者搭建“一對(duì)一”“舞對(duì)舞”“心對(duì)心”的深度交流平臺(tái)。山翀表示,自2009年到2018年,該活動(dòng)已進(jìn)入第九個(gè)年頭,九易春秋,風(fēng)華正茂;九載耕耘,碩果累累。九年來,北京、青島、呼和浩特、臺(tái)北、高雄、花蓮等地都留下了兩岸青少年舞蹈交流展演的足跡,每一次精彩的演出,每一張燦爛青春的笑臉,都記錄著兩岸青少年敞開胸懷,彼此擁抱的真誠,為推動(dòng)兩岸及港澳地區(qū)青少年以舞會(huì)友、交流技藝、增進(jìn)了解、加深友誼,起到了積極作用。海峽兩岸舞蹈教育界彼此分享,共同探討,推動(dòng)了兩岸舞蹈項(xiàng)目的縱深發(fā)展,特別是兩岸舞蹈高校層面的合作,加強(qiáng)了專業(yè)性的實(shí)踐交流,拓展了交流的方式與外延,提供了更加廣闊的空間與平臺(tái)。

As tropical storm Maria approached Taiwan Island,the students were dancing happily on the campus lawn."My name is LIU Boyin.I am from the Department of Dance at the Taiwan University of Arts.It's very hot today,but I am so excited!" In one group,the girl introduced herself while dancing,and the others of the group surrounding her and swaying while covering ears,that was the action she designed for the team members.Everyone jumped out as the heroes and introduced himself or herself in a unique way,while other members cooperating with the "green leaf",showcasing a cheerful and harmonious atmosphere.32 students from Beijing Normal University,Capital Normal University and Taiwan University of the Arts have gathered together for dancing.The ups and downs and romantic feelings during the process made them more closely united.Some students said: "I want to dance in the storm!"
The Convening and Gathering---2018 Cross-Strait Youth Dance Exchanging Performance,hosted by Chinese Dancers Association and undertaken by National Taiwan University of Arts,has gathered a 32-person delegation composed by directors from Chinese Dancers Association and Dance Art Center under China Federation of Literary and Art,and teachers and students from the Chinese mainland.In just a few days from July 7thto 14th,the teachers and students across the Straits lived together while making friends through dancing.From National Taiwan University of Arts,Tunghai University to Asia University,they experienced the humanities and customs of different universities in Taiwan via learning dancing skills together,exchanging ideas with innovative creations,resulting in three improvised works for outdoor exercises and joint performances to report their achievement.
Some 32 students,divided into three groups,were taught by different teachers for arranging and creation,gaining a lot in exchanges and interactions.They have learned different ways of using the body parts and ways of thinking,establishing a profound friendship.LIU Boyin,a student of the Department of Dance at the Taiwan University of Arts,has been learning dance since childhood,which has become an indispensable necessity for her life.During the exchanging activity,she found that mainland students danced with a high center of gravity,and their peers from Taiwan walked with a low gesture and would roll on the floor from time to time."Seeing the different dancers' bodies will make you feel that 'that's really odd'.I could benefit different nutrients.The largest difficulty for dancers is to break through themselves and open up their horizons through communication so as to broaden their own space." LEI Jinpeng,a student from Capital Normal University,had never been trained on the outdoor lawn before,and practiced by himself in the dancing classroom for the most of the time.Now he created with other students,"I feel free and fresh,and I am very fond of communicating".A student CHANG Yukun from Beijing Normal University said that Taiwan teachers and students were very warm and friendly,just like being at home,especially teachers from Taiwan taught in an encouraging way with a relaxing atmosphere.They always said "Nice".The more encouragement I received,the better my body's potential was constantly being developed.This was the third time that CHANG Yukun participating in the cross-strait youth dance exchange performance.He has been in a constant contact with the Taiwan students he knew in the past.Whenever he went to perform,they would exchange ideas with each other through WeChat.
The reporting performance was on July 12th.The three groups of improvisation,with unique styles,made a stunning appearance at the Taiwan University of the Arts.One groups used tables for props,one was about duet dance and another group was a group dance emotion and stories.Presenting abundance and smoothness,the beauty and emotion of their dance flowed on the stage,and each group was an eye-catching.In the performance by the first group,the tables were sometimes towering,sometimes flowing like the sea on the stage,and sometimes the tables themselves were a small stage,all the students danced around the table and exuded a vigorous vitality.HUANG Huaide,a well-known young dance choreographer in Taiwan,was their instructor,who was invited to be the choreographer of "Cloud Gate 2".According to him,the improvisation was like a journey of life.Students walked through places across the mountains and seas.They could integrate their understanding of life and their own life experiences into the performance to release themselves without having to follow prescribed actions."Putting different personalities together is life and the world." Do slow dance,like "playing" of Stephen Chow,is the dance concept that HUANG Huaide conveyed to the students.There was the "truth" in Chow's works,"you will seriously play that dance,the 'true' will present itself!"
"They are just fantastic!" commented by SHAN Chong,Vicechairperson of Chinese Dancers Association after watching the performance.The three programs shared commonalities with their unique features.The starting point of each instructor was to let students open their own personality and release themselves.And each program included students from three different universities."I couldn't tell which student is from Taiwan or the mainland.The two sides are fully integrated,which just confirms the theme of 'Convening and Gathering'." She pointed out that communication did not equal to separate performance,but of each other,but integration by the all.The exchanges between college students were also the best way to truly achieve a harmonious target.ZENG Zhaoxun,director of the Department of Dance at National Taiwan University,said that she was almost moved to tears in watching the performance.And she couldn't tell that the students were from three different universities.The dance on the stage required breath.You could see they were utterly like-minded on the stage,"The young students from both sides of the straits are holding hands together for duet dance.One is from Taiwan,the other from the mainland,it is very touching and meaningful,a true 'cross-strait,dancing for the future'."

As the improvisation was on the stage,the students from the three universities and the National Taiwan University of Sports also brought together the programs,such asBlack Clouds,Jasmine,Mulan,Flowing WaterandLandscapeamongst others,attracting hundreds of Taiwan citizens with favorable comments.Opening the program brochure,the citizen LIU Yage said that he was in favor of a number of dances with traditional cultural values,which were performed by mainland students.According to the choreographers of theLandscape,ZHANG Sun and YE Bo,the program was inspired by the famous painting of the Northern Song Dynasty,The Great Landscape,endeavoring to combine classical dance with traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy,and drawing on the rich use of colors,multi-point parallel perspective painting and charms amid stillness and movement with purpose of transforming an unmoved picture into a moving dance,letting the mountains and rivers live again.A forum "Skills and Dances Present New Meaning" has attracted great masters from both sides during the event.SHAN Chong,ZHANG Ping,YE Bo,YU Daxue and ZENG Zhaoxun,LAI Xiufeng,WANG Guangsheng and others from Beijing Normal University,Capital Normal University,"Taiwan Chinese Dance Society",Taiwan University of the Arts and etc.have carried out in-depth discussion concerning current situation and development trend of dance creation,the status quo of cross-strait dance education,and the shaping of stage figures and others based upon specific dances,invariably pointing out that the culture of the two sides of the strait is from the same roots,the dance must draw nutrition from the traditional culture,and the movements must be free from skills,emotions from the bottom of the heart shall make the figures alive,conveying similarities about the concept of the cross-strait dances.ZHANG Ping,deputy-director of Dance Art Center under China Federation of Literary and Art,the cross-Strait dances possess similar concepts and developments.
And people from across the Straits should make joint efforts to find the specific fulcrum of Chinese modern dance in the modern world dance atmosphere and conduct exchanges into a deeper scale."Because our bodies are genetically similar with homogeneous cultural genes",this event,based upon continuing the previous forum exchanges and practical creations,has added a new exchanging activity about dance image creation practice,inviting teams from the Communication University of China to shoot documentaries and short films so as to expand the combination of dance and video,and inject new vitality into the performance.
The Cross-Strait Youth Dance Exchanging Performance is the brand exchanging program of Chinese Dancers Association targeting Taiwan.With the theme of Cross-Strait,Dancing for the Future,the event organizes teachers and students from art universities across the straits to conduct exchanges,present the achievement of their learning and creation and build an indepth platform of communication for "one-on-one","dance to dance" and "heart to heart" for young dancers on both sides of the strait.According to SHAN Chong,the event has entered into its ninth year since its past period from 2009 to 2018 with abundant fruits in its prime.The past nine-year has witnessed the footprints of cross-strait youth dance exchange performances in Beijing,Qingdao,Hohhot,Taipei,Kaohsiung,Hualien and etc.Every wonderful performance,bright and smiling face record the open minds of the young people from both sides of the strait with sincere hugs,playing a positive role in promoting young people from both sides of the strait,Hong Kong and Macao to dance for friends,exchange skills,enhance understanding and deepen friendship.The sharing and the joint discussion by circles of dance education from both sides of the strait advance the indepth development of cross-strait dance projects,especially the cooperation between the cross-strait dancing universities,strengthen the professional practice exchanges,expand the way of communication and its extension and provide a broader space and platform.
