舞 動

Yuan-Yuan Tan and others
在雜誌的名錶廣告上看到一張很吸引的芭蕾舞相片, 但在網上不能下載, 無法在此與大家分享. 舞者是著名中國芭蕾舞家譚元元 (Yuan-Yuan Tan).

廣告是這樣的:
HER MOVEMENTS
TELL A STORY
FOR WHICH NO LANGUAGE HAS WORDS
譚元元現職三藩市芭蕾舞團首席芭蕾舞蹈員. 她說:"Ballet is not only about technique, but it is the way you move that tells the story."
她的說法, 令我再一次從另一角度去看我醉心的藝術.
芭蕾舞蹈員從小到大的訓練, 都著重舞蹈的技術, 步法, 沒有一朝一夕的方法, 就像學任何一門技術和樂器一樣. 一個技藝超凡的鋼琴家, 他演奏時如果只有技巧而沒有感情, 沒有感受樂章的意思和情感, 沒有他獨一的個人風格, 他的音樂就像一池的死水.
即使是群舞, 每一個芭蕾舞蹈員都有不同的movements, 不同的ways that they move.
上數星期的一個週五晚上(年初六), 農曆新年剛過, 下班後的芭蕾舞課又見到一些久違了的面孔. 那夜有七個人上課, 看著這班女同學, 有來了一兩個月的, 有認識了近兩年的. 我們都很少交談, 最多也只試過一次一起去看老師的表演. 直至現在, 也不知道她們的職業, 身份, 大概都是廿來三十歲吧. 因為我們來都只為跳舞, 沒有其他, 很單純的舞者.
看著, 舞著, 我不禁想, 我們當中, 有多少個來是為了完那童年的夢想?

Danse A Lili (曾雪麗), the ballerina class is really good, taught by a Shanghaiese teacher. most students in my class learned ballet when we were kids, some beginners too, but just good for us non-professional, non-beginners... :P
