舞蹈美学的逻辑起点

The Logic Starting Point of Dance Aesthetics

舞蹈作为一种真正的人体艺术,人体是它的感性材料。它的一切特性均来自此,而遭到的误解也因对此认识不足。站在其他艺术的立场看舞蹈,它的诸多特性成了它的缺欠。舞蹈的人体包括身心在内是一个完整的统一体,那些对舞蹈产生误解的人,包括那些大哲学家们亦浅尝辄止地停留在人的躯壳上而忽视了人的灵魂的存在。事实是,舞蹈艺术自产生以来就受着人的意识的支配,这是人区别于动物的本质所在,也是我们认识舞蹈与舞蹈美的逻辑起点。用这样的认识,我们便可借黑格尔"美或艺术是理念的感性显现"的逻辑,把舞蹈美与舞蹈表述为"舞蹈是意识的肢体表现"。

Dance is considered as a real art of human body,which is its perceptual materials and from which all other characteristics derive. Yet it is also where misunderstanding arises. If dance is examined from other artistic perspectives,many characteristics of dance become its drawbacks. Dancing body,including body and mind,constitutes a complete system of unity. Those who misunderstood dance,including those great philosophers placed much emphasis on the body while abandoning the soul of human. In fact,dance as an art has always been dominated by human consciousness since its advent. This is the essential difference between man and animal,and also is the logical starting point where we understand dance and ance aesthetics. While Hegel once said ＂Artistic beauty or art is the sensible appearance of idea＂,the author believes that the beauty of dance and dance as an art should be considered as ＂physical expression of consciousness＂.
