现代舞身体意识的觉醒源于伊莎多拉·邓肯,她认为古典芭蕾的形态与动作违背了人体的自然规律,程式化的动作编排使舞蹈变成了一种僵化的东西,是畸形的、机械的,她主张舞蹈应以自然为美,用自己的思想和身体来体现什么是自由舞蹈。以坎宁汉为代表的新先锋派将现代舞的发展推向了一个新的发展高度,也被称为现代舞发展的“后现代时期”。他最突出的特点是“纯动作”成为舞蹈的唯一内容,由此建立了自己的“纯舞蹈”风格。他的“机遇编舞法”是他产生新的动作的方法,也是他证明“任何动作可以连接任何其他动作”的手段。 The awakening of modern body consciousness comes from Isadora Duncan. She believes that the form and movement of classical ballet run counter to the natural laws of human body. The stylized action arrangement makes dance into a rigid thing, Mechanical, she argued that the dance should be natural for the United States, with their own thoughts and body to reflect what is free dance. The new avant-garde represented by Cunningham has pushed the development of modern dance to a new height and is also called the “post-modern period” of the development of modern dance. His most prominent feature is “pure action ” become the only part of the dance, which established its own “pure dance ” style. His “Opportunity Choreography” is a way for him to create new moves, and he’s proved that “any action can connect to any other action.”
