Hello! "Big Girl" followed the last tour of the dance drama "Tan Yuanyuan and Her Friends - Art Museum Fantasy Night" starring international ballet artist Tan Yuanyuan, telling the various pasts of her ballet career, revealing the challenges she experienced in the pursuit of the ultimate ballet art path, and walking into her heart to see how Tan Yuanyuan faced age anxiety and examined her life.
Tan Yuanyuan is the youngest principal performer of the San Francisco Ballet and the only Chinese principal performer to date. She opened up a unique path that belongs to us In the East in the field of the Western art world. Ordinary people are not willing to accept the judgment of others when they have achieved fame, but she is different, and she did not offer herself to a shrine when she first decided.
In 2020, Tan Yuanyuan unexpectedly participated in "Dance Storm" as a contestant instead of participating in this variety show as a judge, and he also received some doubts in the show. As a Person who has already had a brilliant experience and has always been a leader in ballet, why should Tan Yuanyuan participate in such a competitive show? Tan Yuanyuan frankly said that at that time, because of the epidemic, she had not been on the stage for a long time, and she herself was an idle person, and she could not leave the stage, since she had such an opportunity, she wanted to dance on stage. She said that if there is such a risky thing next time, she will not hesitate to challenge it.
Tan Yuanyuan has always been a dancer who takes the initiative to seek challenges, she said: "I have tried many different things, in this art I will not stand still, I will try at risk." 」 I want to build on myself as a classical dancer with a little more modern art, and I hope that the two can collide with a bigger spark. In June 2021, "Tan Yuanyuan and Her Friends - Art Museum Fantasy Night" began to tour the country. As an artistic director, Tan Yuanyuan combines different styles of ballet with music, drama, fine arts and other modern arts, and she tries to jump out of the traditional paradigm and open up people's traditional imagination of classical ballet.
If the power shown by classical ballet is in the restrained and subtle and elegant posture, then "Carmen" shows a free soul that is open and outward. Tan Yuanyuan also released a kind of inner strength when performing "Carmen", believing that the weakness of girls is also an advantage, but it is not always like this, and girls are also strong and powerful.
Tan Yuanyuan can achieve success for a long time to stand at the peak, relying not only on the innate physical conditions and talents, but also on her fierce strength and momentum for herself, day and night continuous training. She dislocated herself without a word when dancing the second act of "Giselle", gritted her teeth and insisted on dancing the whole time, Tan Yuanyuan explained: "But all dancers, dancing will be injured, but at the moment of jumping on the stage to the extreme, they will forget the pain." So as long as you identify what you love, you can stick to it, and I think women can do it now. ”
Dance is an extremely physical and energetic art, a dancer is generally in the young for a short period of glory, as the age of the more experienced art and physical fitness also began to decline. In the face of age and decline in physical fitness, Tan Yuanyuan did not accept defeat and continued to work hard with Natalia Makarova as an idol.
Tan Yuanyuan said of himself: "I may be born with some rebellion in my bones, because I am a person who can't be idle." The impact of the epidemic has led to the inability to perform on stage, which does not mean that you can relax and rest, Tan Yuanyuan is still practicing dance at home every day to maintain his own state.
She also said in the show that other dancers have never stopped like her, they sometimes practice dance in the kitchen, sometimes in the living room, the scene is funny and disharmonious, but it is a way for everyone to make fun in pain. Would such a disciplined person make mistakes on stage? The answer is yes, Tan Yuanyuan will occasionally make mistakes on the stage, and if the dance is wrong, she will also improvise and follow the dance partner to round the movement back.
Andersen's fairy tale "Red Dancing Shoes" has a kind of magic, wearing it will always dance without stopping, Tan Yuanyuan is like a girl wearing red dancing shoes to dance her life as much as possible. The only regret when trying to pursue his dream is that he has a short time with his family, and the young Tan Yuanyuan also had a small dispute with his parents because he did not want to leave home.
Tan Yuanyuan's mother is a stern image, will not easily praise and express love, a chance her mother did a Tan Yuanyuan accompaniment dance, surprising that Tan Yuanyuan's mother action gestures are done very well, and finally after seeing the finished product of the dance video Tan Yuanyuan's mother cried, which is a mother who is not good at expressing love for her daughter's affirmation and heartache.
