意·动 Yì·Dòng – Intent/Motion

在中国古典舞的美学中,“意”生于心,“动”发于身。 意,是念想、情感、精神与文化的凝结; 动,是身体、节奏、气韵与形象的展开。 “意·动”之间,是舞者的修为,也是人与世界对话的路径。 本场演出由大学一年级至三年级学生共同参与。舞作,探索 “意”如何驱动身体的表达,舞蹈如何从内在心象生发出外在动作。 无论是对传统的传承、对自然的凝视,还是对历史的凝重回响,皆体现舞者在“动”中追寻“意”的深层意义。   Yì·Dòng – Intent/Motion explores a core principle of Chinese classical dance – intention before movement, where each gesture carries with it a wealth of meaning rooted in history and heritage.
