Text/Dai Jing
There is a festival in the first month, the car is in the middle of winter,
There's a festival, Chelong Car.
Lantern Festival, the mother house is coming to pick up.
Someone asked Xia Bing what profession he did, and Xia Bing replied, "A gardener." "She loves flowers, dances, and students, and strives to be a good gardener who works hard." Since the encounter with the nursery rhyme dance, the gardener's work has added another one: picking up the scattered children's hearts in the world, opening up a garden, picking up the fragrance of nursery rhymes, through the clear and transparent eyes, the unstained soul, the natural imagination, picking the most simple words in the tune of planting melons and dragon boats, and letting those thoughts sink below. The dance above is for children, and the dance below is for adults. Find your own poetic harmony between children and adults, tremble with the soul, and then soften.
Famous choreographer Xia Bing
First, Yi'er Yo Ya learns the lamp song, and plays the poetry that has been there since childhood
A dance, how many dreams,
A happy light rain drifted to the dragon ship,
Jin na silver child shuttle, running out of the fairy tale,
How many buds sprout, how many flowers, how many fairy tales.
Xia Bing trudged out of the red and green dance step by step, returned to the child's heart, and walked into the nursery rhyme dance poem. "I wish I could occupy a corner of the child's world in purity. I knew that there were stars talking to him, and that the mother's house opened in front of him, and entertained him with silly clouds and rainbows of colors. Xia Bing felt that after circling around the dance, she was like coming out of a thick cocoon, removing many deep feelings, returning to the original point, suddenly feeling simple and relaxed, and one step closer to the true spirit of dance.
Based on the most basic level of literary and art workers, Xia Bing frequently learns from the masses and old folk artists, makes friends, and is willing to be their primary school students. A few years ago, I was invited to Lichuan Bai Yang Caifeng to choreograph, and found that Lichuan's "Lantern Song" ("Lantern Song" is also known as the lamp tune, which began in the early Qing Dynasty, about 300 years of history, and is a living remnant of an endangered ethnic minority traditional music in China's lantern song) is a traditional folk song of the local Tujia people who celebrate the New Year's Festival, along the streets and villages, row the ground as a platform, and use colorful dragon boats and car lights as the main props. In 2010, the Ministry of Culture announced that "Lichuan Lantern Song" was selected into the third batch of national intangible cultural heritage list. Baiyang Town is also the birthplace of one of the world's 25 outstanding folk songs, "Dragon Boat Tune". Receiving the task of inheritance, Xia Bing successively created and compiled the song and dance and painting drama "Jin Na Yin Er Suo" (this play won the provincial ethnic minority song and dance repertoire award held by the Provincial Nationalities Committee of the Hubei Provincial Department of Culture), the song and dance poem "The Home of the Dragon Boat Tune" (this play won the silver medal in the performance category of the Hubei Provincial Ethnic Minority Games), and other works, which were praised like a wave.
Tujia often says: "If you can talk, you can sing, and if you can walk, you can dance." In the land of Enshi song and dance, there is nothing to sing, no music and no dance. Xia Bing in the dam of Baiyang Square to rehearse the dragon boat tune when teaching the peasant art troupe to dance, the following in addition to the mother-in-law and aunt with the rhythm of the twist, deep emotional experience, the sense of harmony, a group of children also follow the hand dance, melodious emotion, dragon boat tune hey do hey to do the push boat, can even completely dance down, Xia Bing was very surprised, completely by their love of art full of enthusiasm and sincere optimism invisible infection, feel rich and incomparable beauty and comfort, from time to time with great feelings, from time to time there is artistic light rubbing shoulders and bright, It is true that everyone is an artist, and the inheritance of the lantern brother is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is wonderful. A little sharp, looking for victory and exploration, Xia Bing found that kind of children's unique psychic or animistic feeling, children's poetic dance is innate, plated with divine gold edge, in harmony with nature, with the thoughts, with the pleasure of pleasure, the mind is pure to show the color and temperature, brighten the eyes, warm the soul.
Xia Bing believes that inheritance can not only stay in words, but must be seen in their own actual actions, practiced, properly applied to dance, and "artistically" and "roughly refined" processing and transformation of dance materials. Ever since seeing children do and do, Xia Bing tried to "gaze" at the daily life around her with a childish gaze, and felt that she was very fortunate to meet a group of gods in her life. The child walked slowly in God's steps while casually tossing at things that seemed so ordinary to him. The part he threw at the ground for no reason made Xia Bing, the person who followed behind him, hurriedly pick it up and regard it as a treasure. Xia Bing had a brilliant idea, everyone who loves the muse has their own artistic expression, nursery rhyme dance this artistic expression is more in line with their own temperament. It opens with the dragon boat tune and the Baiyang lantern song, the teacher sings the dragon boat minor tune song Melody, like the wind in the depths of the willow forest, the looming gong and drum, the summoning of the night of the First Moon Lantern, a group of children learn the lantern song, the folk song, the flower lantern, the gong and drum, those childhood stories and whimsical ideas, as they please, freely express, concentrate on strengthening the earth songs, soil winds, and local conditions, with a unique artistic charm, inheriting the soul of the "Dragon Boat Tune", in order to lightly swim to the other side of the dance.
Second, Yi'er Yo Ya learns the lantern song and lets the dream shine into reality
Nursery rhymes dance a dream, but I am afraid that it is a dream,
The jingling of the lamp song, dissolved in the dance,
Practice a dream, not moved by the hustle and bustle,
The left wing is full of poetry, and the right wing carries children.
Inspired by Bai Yang's children's dance "The Home of the Dragon Boat Tune", Xia Bing tried to capture this fleeting power, plucked off the stars and dots, made sequins, plated on the body, and was excited to get some light, the child babbled and learned to speak, 121121212, just like the little child walking in unison, the child learned to speak, one or two, the syllables were interesting, Xiao Chang was plain, catchy, and the rhythm was sonorous. Let Xia Bing instantly have the inspiration for the name of the program, which is called "Yi'er Yo Ya Learning Lantern Song". It is an ordinary and simple dance carriage, with poetry, drums, bells, jingles, and abundances along the way.
Once the dance inspiration is ignited by the collision, it will release a huge amount of energy. "Il Yo Ya Learning Lantern Song" should be playful, naïve, clumsy, natural and artistic, divine, ethereal, tense, and then how to assemble them together to reveal what a children's dance should look like? Xia Bing took materials from the dragon boat, directly quoted famous sentences, intercepted key images, switched to the main theme of the dance, and used the dance artistic conception. Arrange a lead dancer, both an actor and a counselor, she teaches the children to sing and dance, bringing out a cute puppet feeling, the child's silly energy shows the child's innocence and clumsiness, from the bones to sprout the love for culture, the region, and the Tujia family. Children learn lantern songs, itself is like a child in the first grade from one plus one equals two, that is the natural impulse and instinct, similar to the process of red copying, Xia Bing the first day to the child's class, the child entered the school, the original aura was covered up by tension, it was a bit dull, Xia Bing took into account the natural laws of children's physical development, with abundant feelings and enthusiasm to demonstrate, the action strives to stretch, short and powerful, the rhythm is cheerful, showing the child's lively and lovely personality. Through the subtle action, the children's hearts are cultivated, and the children are naturally active. Xia Bing's teaching, using early self-study and late self-study rehearsal, not only does not affect learning, but also makes students more energetic in learning. The dance is enriched and reaches the viewer's heart.
When these treasures sprout from the branches again, the whole work is positive and poetic. Thank you to the child, this messenger sent by Heaven, as small as: a tree, a flower, a drop of raindrops, a grain of sand; as large as great love: country, home, nation, morality, peace, truth, goodness, beauty; it conveys affection, with the beauty of form, the beauty of sound, the beauty of content, the beauty of artistic conception, the beauty of connotation, the beauty of childlike fun, and the beauty of innocence. Thanks to the dancers, with a kind of gentle character and talent unique to children, the combination of the two, the blood vessels are flowing with tenderness and love, and the eyes are flashing with joy and expectation. With the adult's heart naturally close to the child's heart, the adult's emotions are deeply integrated into the child's emotions, so that it can easily and skillfully reach the victory of the child's heart.
When practicing a thousand songs and then xiaosheng, when dancing and thinking, Xia Bing respects the function of the folk dance movement itself, pays attention to the reasonable order in the choreography, the dense fast and slow, the priority and urgency, the contrast between strength and weakness, the relationship between high and low, and the careful study and purification of the action form, naturally connects the personnel and life scenes with himself, thinks about the relevant thinking in the intentional and unintentional contrast, integrates the emotion into the action, interprets his soul code at all times, and flows the things deep in the soul from the dance and is appealed to the stage. The mood has a sense of placement, the soul has a sense of belonging, in the dance "Yi'er Yo Ya Learn The Lantern Song", each viewer is looking for himself in the dance, and find himself, the vitality of the original folk song, all the time infiltrating the spiritual field of the nation, the source of living water makes the vision broad, the willow dark flowers bright.
"I want the people of China and even the world to know that there is such a group of peasant art troupes in Baiyang Town, Lichuan City, who love culture, love local folk songs, and love intangible cultural heritage, and through this little nursery rhyme dance, pass on their love for culture and local folk songs. Nursery rhyme dance is relatively niche in the dance category, but it can see heaven in a grain of sand. The reason is simple, many bricklayers can build a big house, but few people can carve a castle out of a walnut. There are many points and noodles of Bai Yang, which are the materials for creating and choreographing dances, just like making a clay pot, and childhood life is mud and paint. But the clay pot is done well, and the inner temperament and character it gives is the quality of pure childlike heart. Singing nursery rhymes is happy, dancing nursery rhymes, but also happy, people who dance for children, carefully obey their own childish hearts and natural endowments, "Yi'er Yo Ya Learn The Lantern Song" This dance is out, the child's taste is full, the inheritance is deep, vivid and vivid, infecting the audience.
Third, Yi'er Yo Ya learns the lamp song and gives time affection
The door of the barn in the countryside opened,
Clear sunlight, shining on the dragging car,
On the interlocking silver gray and green,
Hay piled up and hugged.
Xia Bing said: My generation has the guidance of dancers and mentors and friends, has the desire to live a life of "roots in the fertile soil", and has always had the "desire to do things" for the tireless pursuit of the famous teachers of the predecessors. Folk songs and folk dances can not only improve the spiritual life of local farmers, but also cultivate their cultural heritage, but also make this folk song deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Bai Yang's side of the water and soil, this side of the peasant laborers, they really have the spirit of "the sun is very big", as small as a few years old children hey as a boat, as old as 80 years old man Playing drums, are so optimistic. The inheritance and choreography of the song and dance "Yi'er Yo Ya Learning Lantern Song" is also heartfelt.
In the process of creating and compiling the song and dance poem "Yi'er Yo Ya Learning Lantern Song", the leaders of the Lichuan Municipal Government and the Cultural Bureau, the Baiyang Peasant Art Troupe, the cast and crew, and everyone Xia Bing came into contact with was full of enthusiasm and passion. With the efforts of grassroots cultural workers in Lichuan Baiyangba Town, and with the strong support of Baiyangba Town National Primary School, inheriting the intangible culture of Lichuan Lantern Song, "Lantern Song" has entered the campus of Baiyangba Town National Primary School. Xia Bing also formed a team with a group of enthusiastic friends who love children's dance, collected and studied song stories, and often exchanged works. Chance, opportunity, inheritance of the lantern song, once poetically combined, there is a different mood, outlining a romantic and colorful, full of hope, everywhere with challenges and opportunities of the multi-flavored life. The work of "Yi'er Yo Ya Learning Lantern Song" was completed as scheduled, thanks to their busy work for the many aspects of the dance work, I would like to pay tribute to all of you who contributed to this dance.
