1、这一刻(very moment)

舞蹈是时间的艺术,这一刻的瞬时发生与发展让舞蹈成为“活生生的艺术”(living art),是无法作假与再现的艺术。在台北编导苏威嘉的排练中,正如Chris在博客中所写的“Studio and stage…space and place”,在我看来,就是在again and again中,这一刻显得那么可爱——因为它的真实:时间在变,气息在变,运动在变,这或许就是舞蹈的魅力。所以,苏的创作是开放的,看得到这一刻,但是不知道下一刻——如同历史的下一刻无法预知一样,正式演出时究竟会怎样?
2、这一处(very place)
舞蹈是空间的艺术,这一处的物理存在和变化让舞蹈成为“视觉艺术”(visural art)。除了时间的变化,从studio到stage的空间变化,会影响舞者在表演场域内的空间感知,那一刻的舞动将会怎样?北京编导赵梁在排练中告诉被绑带困住的舞者,如果演出时被缠住的话就直接脱下来——这一方面是对舞者解决突发状况的建议,另一方面也“剧透”了舞台和排练室之间存在差异的若干可能性之一,这一处只是这一处。

所以,舞蹈只在此时此地,真实地感受它的气息(Auro)吧。

1. This very moment
Dance is a time-based art form. The way in which dance occurs within a moment, before evolving and developing makes dance a “living art”. It is an art form which cannot be faked or reproduced. During the rehearsals with the Taiwanese choreographer Su Wei-Chia, it was exactly as Chris had written in his blog: “Studio and stage…space and place”. With the repetition, “again and again”, the moment became very precious — because of its authenticity. Time was changing; breath was changing; movements were changing. Perhaps these are the sources of dance’s charm. Su’s creative process was free and open. You could experience each moment, but the next moment was unknown. Just as the next moment in history cannot be known in advance. Is it possible to achieve this in a real performance?

2 This very place
Dance is a space-based art form. Physical existence and transformation within a fixed space makes dance a “visual art.” As well as changes in time, the shift in spaces from studio to stage can affect the sense of space during the performance. In that moment, what form will the dance movements take? During rehearsals, the Beijing choreographer Zhao Liang told his dancers, who were tied together with a band, that if they got stuck during the performance, they should just take the band off. This suggestion provided the dancers with a solution to a potential problem, and also “revealed” one of the differences which could exist between the stage and the studio. Each place is its own place.

So the dancers can only take advantage of the ‘here and now’ to experience their “aura”.
