Ideals urgent, action obedient, Huang Xiao is the interpreter of lingsi, but also the creator of rhythm, in the world of dance, with love to extract the arrogant soul, and then on the exploding stage together disorderly patrol.
In the player's world, all barriers should make way for freedom, inspiration and emotion in the moment of breaking through the constraints, is the happiest moment, the body dominated by mood and advocacy, immersed in music, freedom is boundless, unbridled rhythm.
Stage, unexpected love
Huang Xiao, born in Kangding, Chuanxi, was once the ancient city of Tea Horse. The young Huang Xiao began the earliest artistic enlightenment here. The 6-year-old was attracted by the sonorous drum beat of the drum kit, and the family searched all over the city, and there was no drum kit. As a result, Huang Xiao was sent to a dance class that did not require any musical instruments, and the road to art began with extracurricular interest classes. 12-year-old Huang Xiao was admitted to the Sichuan Provincial Dance School and began a one-man study path, ethnic, classical, ballet, elegant style, limb stretching, classical soundtrack, normal learning trajectory, typical dancers on the road to attack.
All the twists and turns occurred in 2006, 17-year-old Huang Xiao, like many young people, is very longing for the unknown and novelty, he longs for the intuitive expression of reality and emotions in modern dance, can abandon the established formula and formalism, and emphasizes independence and dance conception of modern dance has become Huang Xiao's new goal.
With outstanding results, Huang Xiao was admitted to the Sichuan Conservatory of Music and studied modern pop dance, but this modern dance is not modern dance, a modern pop dance major of this well-known art school in southwest China, commonly known as street dance. Huang Xiao, who has a 10-year-long ballet training foundation, even retreated in the face of the completely different artistic concepts of street dance, and huang Xiao spent the first year of college without wind and rain.
By chance, he saw foreign street dance videos, in that era of Urban, JazzFunk, Hiphop in the ascendant, a new way of dance into his world, full of drama expression instead of a single action pursuit, more diverse, more free, more exciting, the original dance can be like this.
Since 2007, Huang Xiao's street dance road has opened a new mode of clearance, and at the age of 19, Huang Xiao won the championship of the "Dancing Miracle Dance Star" program, which is also his first champion. Subsequently, Huang Xiao wandered into various dance variety shows and large-scale evening parties, in addition to the dancers, he added the identity label of a choreographer.
Today's Huang Xiao is not only the manager of hello dance label, but also a dance teacher at The Sichuan Conservatory of Music, a judge of the "WOD World Dance Competition", and the vice chairman of the 7th Presidium of Chengdu Dancers Association. Street dance is like a school, so that Huang Xiao has gained a new life.
He told us: "Huang Xiao's world is imaginative, in the imagination of the imagination, there are infinite possibilities, I hope that others in my works have some feelings, leaving thinking, this resonance is not necessarily labeled by Huang Xiao, it should be their own interpretation." Simple or complex, after a long time, it can still be remembered. ”
From dancer to choreographer, from interpretation to domination
Street dance, never a simple artistic ecology, accompanied by a series of domestic street dance variety show broadcast, street dance gradually began to develop to industrialization, new elements, new structure, new thinking, in Huang Xiao's world of integration, subversion, tearing down and restarting, unplanned life, in a random choice, methodically waiting for luck to come. At that time, Huang Xiao passively became a teacher after a phone call at school, and in the environment of the barbaric growth of independent labels, he casually set up the Hello Dance Studio, he acted arbitrarily, arbitrarily, and made his own mistakes.
Huang Xiao has many years of deep dance skills, Urban Dance, Jazz Funk, Hiphop, JazzSwag, Contemporary are all good at, but can appear in "This! It is the dancers of the "Street Dance" stage, who already have the top level in China. What is different about Huang Xiao is his understanding and interpretation of dance. There is no doubt that he is the artist in this field, and the artist - the person who extracts what he sees and hears into art, can create a context between people that does not need words, a magnetic field between things.
Huang Xiao has contributed countless classic works on the stage, such as Birds and Flowers, Danqing, The Hidden Corner, Migration, and Shadow, each of which has the attributes of Huang Xiao, and the national elements and visual philosophy in his dances have always been implemented. But in addition to winning or losing, Huang Xiao is his own dance play master.
Even if people who do not understand street dance will feel speculative and persistent in his works, the author's most impressive work is his "Double", the entanglement of two souls, one side is quiet, the other is the river of fire, the good and evil double shape, good and evil thoughts, the stretched form performance in the dance, fully embodies the basis of Huang Xiao's classical dance, and the intentional treatment of the content and the dramatic presentation, and is full of elements of modern dance, crashing into the big show of street dance, which makes people unforgettable.
Because, in Huang Xiao's dance museum, the most abundant is the output of emotion, he hopes to continuously provide an immersive stage that can trigger empathy, and he hopes that every viewer can glimpse his understanding and insight into the world in his dance works. There is no homogenization standard for dance, but people can experience the explosion of another emotion in just a few minutes, which is the meaning of art itself.
"Dance is never an absolute existence, such as the word burning, everyone has their own understanding, I think following the beat to release themselves is enough to burn, the street, the dance studio, the studio can be your stage, dance is not a utilitarian thing, but it is a tool of expression." 」
Huang Xiao constantly hardened on the stage, and the game allowed him to attack slightly in addition to the Peace. At the beginning, Huang Xiao did not like the Battle link very much, the brutal and cruel format made him feel like a fight, along with the advancement of the format, he began to slowly accept this setting, dance freely, abandon design and deliberate, let everything return to the most original state, after all, the core of Freestyle is to dance his own Style in Free's mode. Huang Xiao is like a freehand painting, the established rules are never limited, and his soul and freedom are always his own dance rules.
Inspiration marked by life
With the growth, most people are passively formatted in the ups and downs of society, similar norms, similar trajectories, unified standards, people are changed by life is not only young faces, but also the ambition to pursue freedom, Huang Xiao in life is not a single dance machine, outside the dance Huang Xiao is more like a literary and artistic youth walking on the streets of Chengdu, has his own theory of life.
There is only one Chengdu in the world, and the prosperity is dotted with the fireworks of the city, and people can stop and go on Chunxi Road, think about their own lives, and start from a new start in the adjustment. Huang Xiao spends most of his time in the practice room during each competition, and inspiration is especially important for a choreographer.
Huang Xiao, who loves life, often goes shopping, watches exhibitions, and watches dramas, fully absorbing fresh elements and integrating into her own dance in a different artistic presentation. Life and art are diverse, and the aria of the musical may not become street dance music; the interpretation of the stage play is, in a sense, an extended version of the dance. The art sublimated by life, and the life decorated by art, are wonderful.
"My ideal way of life is to have a peaceful place in a very bustling city, a paradise close enough to the hustle and bustle, with its own landscape, free flowers and plants, and preferably small animals. You can imagine pushing the door open is bustling with traffic and neon, and closing the door can meditate and feel at ease. I myself do not have too many requirements for life, I feel that there is providence in the underworld, to pursue according to my heart, to do what I like is already lucky enough, if I like it by more people, it is the highest match of happiness. ”
Life in this city is greater than busy, and it is the urban character that people love here, who is busy and idle, and goes their own way, because everyone here has their own tense. In Huang Xiao's dictionary, the life we yearn for will never have a standard answer, because life and circumstances will always make us switch our minds, change our ideals, and honestly face our hearts in an unrestricted life.
Huang Xiao in life, no different from many young boys, likes surfing, likes to dive, likes to drive, is particularly obsessed with the arrogant SUV, and the model that dancers like must of course have enough explosive power. "Dance can be danced for others to see, or you can dance to yourself, but self-driving is definitely a private pleasure." Aimless galloping is a very happy thing, I will often go out with friends to play, stop and go, punch in to take pictures, very happy. If you choose a car, the appearance of the car must be cool, to be hot, to have its own memory point, of course, the power must be strong, all boys are looking at this, Cadillac XT4 almost all have, my pulse. Especially the headlights, which are sexy. "Ordinary existence does not attract the real strong, dance is like this, cars are like this, in the eyes of Huang Xiao, who pursues freedom, perhaps routine is a mistake."
It is true that dance players cannot have boundaries, and the margins will become the shackles of artistic life, so that dance will lose its inherent vitality. Away from the complex program, into the most peaceful self, love outside, Tuna freedom, is the real Huang Xiao.
Freedom to live with the future
Everyone is a walker on the road, the posture is different, but the end point is similar, or light, or shocking, in his own band, Huang Xiao has been happy, talking about the future, Huang Xiao pondered for a moment, telling the story.
"I don't think too much about the future, maybe not thinking, is the most in line with the mood and reality of the way, and the uncertainty dances together, more challenging." 」 What the ideal self is, in fact, this answer is not important to me, because I do not value the two words huang xiao itself, what I enjoy is that in every expression of occupation and life, I can freely present the original self, as for the meaning and summary left to the viewer, and I am me. Huang Xiao is a participant in the game, not a rule-maker, let alone an arbiter of the ending. Sober people can be free enough. If you like one thing, you give it your all. Eager for freshness, find a new world, and if you can't accept yourself, change yourself. What the future looks like, we don't know. But freedom is a necessity. ”
Every kind of imagination of the future is superfluous, but Huang Xiao will never lose his curiosity and desire to explore, which are the two most important parts of the growth cycle of artistic life and are the source of everything. He firmly believes that those who are inspired by life and love will become their true selves. "If there is an idea, it is immediately realized, the presentation process is quickly adjusted, the inspiration trial and error are put together, do not overly calculate the results, let yourself fully enjoy the process of dance, release, freedom, rhythm, expression, this is not the greatest meaning of dance?" 」 Huang Xiao said.
Stage, noisy, silent; life, boiling, peaceful, everyone is practicing their own rhythm, exploring the meaning of life in the name of freedom, time is not enough for us to understand too much, and the best of everything will always happen in the next second. Huang Xiao choreographed and directed one stage after another, precipitated one brilliant life after another, gave happiness to himself, left winning and losing to the judges, and lit up his love, just for the dance of amorphous style, freedom and eternal prosperity.
