写在BAM“新浪潮艺术节”35周年

The Next Wave Festival——35 Years

2018年,布鲁克林音乐学院(Brooklyn Academy of Music,简称BAM)为庆祝“新浪潮艺术节”(Next Wave Festival,以下简称新浪潮)成立35周年,出版了《BAM:下一个新浪潮》(BAM:Next Wave Festival)一书。艺术节帮助布鲁克林重新焕发了活力,对纽约的艺术发展至关重要。它像一座灯塔,一如既往地保持着国际性和前沿性。温迪·佩蓉(Wendy Perron)曾作为舞者随崔莎·布朗(Trisha Brown)登上艺术节的舞台,后作为美国《舞蹈》(Dance Magazine)杂志的主编,亲身见证了艺术节和美国舞蹈艺术在过去35年的发展历程。新浪潮艺术节35周年之际,她受邀为该书的舞蹈部分撰文。文章不仅以艺术节为纵向坐标,记录了这个舞台上35年中重要的舞蹈创作者和作品,其梳理和讲述也为场域之外的同行们提供了跨文化舞蹈语境交流和理解的国际视角。
