Noble, elegant, reserved, even the dancers seem to be like elves who don’t eat fireworks. Their soft body masterly controls the dance moves that ordinary people can’t complete, and writes gorgeous movements with tiptoes. This is ballet. !
Casual, exaggerated, and even a bit crazy in the eyes of conservatives, passionate accompaniment, reckless dance steps, dazzling dance gestures to show the flying of youth, showing off surprising little tricks like an acrobat, this is Street dance!
To appreciate ballet, you often have to buy a ticket that is not cheap, and then walk into the luxurious and quiet theater in a suit and leather shoes, waiting for the performers with a serious face; while street dance can be seen almost everywhere, in the open space in front of the city hall, The trail next to the public green space and the underground parking lot near the supermarket can be used as a stage. Not only can you applaud while admiring, you can even join a team of dancers and let your blood boil with the lively music.
If you combine ballet and hip-hop, what will be the effect? I believe that the first word that many people think of is: nonsense.
But Carly played a fool with the support of her friends, and the fool was very successful. She married the elegant and almost ethereal ballet and the populace to the "barbaric" hip-hop. This time was considered by bystanders to be the result of an extremely absurd combination. , Finally won the applause of everyone.
This is the story told by the British musical "Hip-hop 3D", which made the girl named Carly, who loves street dance in the film, create a miracle, and the reason why this miracle became a reality has benefited to a large extent. Enlightened by a senior.
"You like to look at things clearly, thinking that this is ballet and that is street dance, but they are all dances." Said the senior;
"But they come from two completely different worlds. Putting the two together will only violently repel each other." Carly said, confused;
"No, they are all the same, because they all have a common goal, which is the audience!"
Suddenly, Carly gathered the street dance partners and the students of the Ballet Academy together again, using various methods to try to narrow the psychological distance between the two parties. Previously, in the eyes of the ballet students, the hip-hop dancers were not only lacking in education, but also very shallow. ; And free and unrestrained street dancers also look at ballet unpleasantly, thinking that dancing in tights is quite stupid.
However, thanks to Carly's efforts, Mars and the Earth finally traveled in the same orbit. The two sides no longer despise each other because they both recognize the commendable side of each other's dance art. This reminds the author of the dispute between "modern" and "tradition" that has sounded in the domestic art world from time to time. Artists who study traditional Chinese art techniques and avant-gardes who receive education in Western art theory systems often use various art forums, newspapers, televisions and other media. As a position, fight a war of words, big or small, accusing each other of what's wrong.
Traditional paintings represent conservative and plagiarism, lack of innovation, and have no vitality at all. The avant-garde is aggressively attacking; even if the basic skills are not well practiced, they are thinking about running when they are unstable, and they don’t even think about inheritance. The mountain school is a joke, and the Chinese painter with white beard and hair angrily retorted. This serious confrontation caused by different artistic viewpoints and directions has made the relationship between these artists the same.
Artists in dispute, like those ballet students who have not yet treated the hip-hop kids calmly, forget that everyone actually has a common goal. Just as dancing is to get the recognition of the audience, the purpose of any art work is to reflect social reality, become a channel for the author to express his ideas, and improve the aesthetic ability of art appreciators. The work is used as a medium to allow the author and the appreciator to communicate. Resonance between the hearts.
The city in which I live is called the Porcelain Capital. The status of the word "Jingdezhen" in the world of ceramic art is like a mecca, but disputes similar to street dance and ballet also appear from time to time. But what is gratifying is that after many fierce confrontations between different ceramic art schools, more and more "Kali" have appeared in Jingdezhen. Some of them are outstanding inheritors of local traditional ceramic art, and some are A foreign artist who is imaginative and outstanding.
"Kali" in the ceramic art world never despises any art category, and is willing to accept and learn any valuable artistic expression methods, but it is undeniable. It is not easy for "Kali" to take the first step to learn from other art schools. This may lead to the dissatisfaction of the "brothers", and the combination, improvement and development of different artistic expressions will not happen overnight. achievement. However, Carly in "Hip-hop 3D" created a ballet-style street dance that is agile, deep, lively and subtle with her solid dance skills and extraordinary savvy. However, the potter "Kali" calmly puts down her view. , There have also emerged many successful people who have allowed their works to enter an unprecedented new level.
The most commendable thing about Carly is not the applause she received from the audience at the end of the film, but the moment when she was determined to make the miracle a reality.
