从现代舞《海祭》中的妈祖意象到海洋祭祀舞蹈

From the Mazu Images in Modern Dance Sacrifice to the Sea to the Sacrificial Dance of the Sea

舞蹈是人类艺术活动中最原始、最直接的一种形式,它不仅是人类与生俱来的一种身体和情感的本能,也是人类向自然万物祈求庇佑,表达敬畏的一种仪式。人类舞蹈经历了几千年的流变,如今,其原本具有的"仪式"功能,已被现代人类遗忘,人类之初对自然万物的敬仰与爱戴之情被现代社会吞没。上海海事大学以"妈祖"这一形象为艺术创作动机,编创了现代舞《海祭》,试图传递艺术原初的祭祀功能,希望现代人类能够重拾对大海以及海神的敬畏之情。祭祀妈祖是人类祭祀舞蹈历史中一个重要的组成部分,本文将从人类最原始的祭祀舞蹈——祭神为源头,探讨祭祀"妈祖"的仪式由来。
