Theory of Flow and Basic Skill Training for “Chinese Classical Dancers”

心流理论是积极心理学的重要理论之一,心流所强调的行云流水的心理体验与"中国古典舞"的美学追求和训练目的相一致,由此引发了笔者关于心流与"中国古典舞"训练之间密切关系的思考。本文从心流角度研究"中国古典舞"基本功训练,旨在挖掘舞蹈心理学在舞蹈教学实践方面的应用价值,为"中国古典舞"研究提供新视角,增强舞蹈训练的科学性。

Flow is the psychological concept raised by the American psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. It refers to an optimal psychological experience with a high level of concentration. His theory is that people are the happiest when they are in a state of flow. 'Chinese classical dance' has a motto saying that training should 'start with the mind, concentrate the strength at the waist, direct the strength through the body to every tip.' In other words, actions are controlled by the mind, guided by consciousness, driven by breath, and then realized through limbs. This is a perfectly unified state of mind and body, a highly orderly merger of action and awareness which is a component of flow. Therefore, in training 'Chinese classical dancers,' it is necessary to train the mind, increase absorption and concentration and attain order before the level of fulfillment and happiness is reached. Meanwhile, the 'power of the mind,' which is highly stressed in Chinese classical dance, must be produced through a high level of engagement and immersion. That means students must be motivated to enter the state of flow where physical-mental unity and action-awareness unity can be realized. Therefore, the theory of flow has great relevance to basic training for Chinese classical dancers.
