忆欧阳予倩与梅兰芳谈舞

The Conversation about Traditional Dance Between Mr. OUYANG Yu-qian and Mr. MEI Lan-fang

欧阳予倩曾与梅兰芳先生商议,计划研究和编写《梅兰芳的舞蹈艺术》一书,但因种种原因,最后未能完成。笔者有幸在欧阳老师和梅先生谈论中国戏曲舞蹈的技艺特色和审美特征时,听到了两位艺术大师对传统舞蹈提出的精辟见解。本文将其谈话内容记录并整理,希望对年轻一代的舞蹈工作者有所借鉴。

Mr. OUYANG Yu-qian and Mr. MEI Lan-fang had planned to work on a book Dance ofMEl Lan-fang, yet the book was not finished for various reasons. Luckily, I had heard their conversation about the features and aesthetic characteristics of Chinese opera dance. The main purpose of this article is to summarize their views and suggestions, providing the younger generation of dance artists with food for thought.
