从《红梅赞》到《石榴花开》——杨威大型舞剧创作述评

From A Praise to Red Plum to Pomegranate Blossoming:A Review of Yang Wei’s Large-Scale Dance Drama Creation

杨威因大型现代舞剧《红梅赞》而名声大振,自此走上了舞剧创作的道路。此后,她先是创编了大型舞蹈诗《成长》和大型舞剧《文成公主》;后于2014年创编了大型舞蹈诗《女娲》和大型舞剧《梅兰芳》。2015年,杨威为雷动天下现代舞团做了大型作品《大地·震》;翌年,又创编了舞剧《丝绸之路》。总的来说,杨威的舞剧形象塑造带有某种"现代气息",其整体创作具有"符号化"思维的特征。但是,这一"符号化"作为主观感受的高度抽象,在貌似"哲思"的追求中严重缺失"文化"的底蕴。2020年,杨威的新创舞剧《石榴花开》面世,该剧以鲜活的形象摆脱一度耽溺的"符号化"思维。可以说,《石榴花开》是杨威对其创编开局时《红梅赞》的时代攀升,她的舞剧创作将再度迎来"生如夏花之绚烂"!

Yang Wei became famous for the large-scale modern dance drama A Praise to Red Plum,and since then she started her creation of dance dramas.She first created a large-scale dance poem Growing Up and a large-scale dance drama Princess Wencheng;Later in 2014,she created a large-scale dance poem Nvwa and a large-scale dance drama Mei Lanfang.In 2015,Yang Wei created a large-scale work Earth·Earthquake for the modern dance company Beijing Dance/LDTX;She created a dance drama Silk Road in the next year.In general,the image building of Yang Wei’s dance drama has a certain"modern flavor",and her overall creation has the characteristics of"symbolization"thinking.However,as a highly abstract subjective feeling,this"symbolization"severely lacks the"cultural"connotation in the seemingly"philosophical"pursuit.In 2020,Yang Wei’s newly created dance drama Pomegranate Blossoming is released.It replaces the once indulged"symbolization"thinking with vivid images.It can be said that Pomegranate Blossoming sublimates the era of A Praise to Red-Plum when Yang Wei started her creation.Her dance drama creation will once again usher in the prosperous period!
