The Aesthetic and Cultural View of Chinese Dance Art——A Discussion on the Methodology of Dance Research with Internal and External Integration
The study of dance creation and criticism includes both the exploration of the internal laws of the body consciousness and spatiotemporal relationships of the"living body",as well as the explanation of the external laws and connections between dance and other human social practices.The methodology of combining internal and external aspects is very meaningful.Dance analysis and movement analysis are not the same concepts.In addition to improving the theory of movement analysis,choreographers and research practitioners should also closely monitor new choreography trends and interdisciplinary dance research trends.Since the 1980s and 1990s,the dance analysis framework of Western dance scholars has integrated cultural research,revealing the limitations of only analyzing movements or conducting internal research;The analysis of elements and forms by Chinese dance scholars is also closely related to dance culture.In the era of global localization and full media,as a methodology,the"aesthetic cultural view"of dance art regards choreography to criticism as an aesthetic cultural activity,inheriting the relevant research of Chinese aesthetics,literature,theoretical circles,and dance studies that integrate ancient and modern Chinese and Western cultures.Self discipline theory,heteronomy theory,and communication theory complement each other,emphasizing the concrete and real human body.On the one hand,it emphasizes the"cross media"perspective of internal research.On the other hand,it also advocates the"cross-cultural"view that connects the internal and external,trying to see dance culture in both aesthetics and culture.It is a literary and artistic outlook and methodology with a"Chinese-style modernization"path.
