从《野斑马》到《千手观音》——关于张继钢大型舞剧创作的述评(下)

From The Wild Zebra to The Thousand-hand Bodhisattva Comments on Zhang Jigang’s Choreography of Large-scale Dancedramas (Part 2)

舞剧《一把酸枣》是张继钢成功创作的第二部大型舞剧,该剧因强烈视觉冲击和心灵震撼的群舞而具有了令人咀嚼的"味道";《八桂大歌》的创作原则是张继钢的艺术追求,即借助人民的语言来塑造人民的形象,以人民的歌声礼赞人民的生活;说唱剧《解放》是张继钢"黄土情怀"的一次全新释放;而舞剧《花儿》则是张继钢旨在将东方的爱情与生命融会起舞。一方面,张继钢的创作灵感源于充满灵性的大地,他对于黄土的情怀构成其艺术精神最基本的意义内核。另一方面,他还同时渴望对浪漫和唯美的追求。张继钢这样一种矛盾的创造追求,源于其根植于本心的艺术自觉!也正如舞剧《千手观音》向我们所呈现的,张继钢的全部创作都在"直指本心"并"澄澈本心"!

A Handful of Jujube is the second mass dance-drama choreographed by Zhang Jigang.It is a group dance with a strong visual impact that shocks the soul.Great Folk Songs of Guangxi is another dance-drama of Zhang Jigang who uses the people’s language to shape the image of the people and extols the people’s life with folk songs.Liberation is a new representation of Zhang Jigang’s affection for the homeland.Flower is a combination of Eastern love and life.Zhang Jigang’s inspirations have come from the earth full of spirituality,and his affection for the homeland constitutes the core of the most basic meaning of his artistic spirit.He also yearns for romance and beauty at the same time.Zhang Jigang’s contradictory creative pursuits stem from his deep-rooted artistic awareness.Just as the dance-drama The Thousand-hand Bodhisattva shows,Zhang Jigang’s creations all try to"reveal the heart"and"make the heart clear"!
