My DVD ordered from Yesasia finally reached today, Its a Region 1 DVD, luckily my laptop can play, if not $$ wasted... Ordered the Documentary film RIZE, which is abt krumping & clowning.. But to my very own surprise, the dvd inspired me not only in hip hop dancing, it inspired me to think abt 表演, 舞蹈, 艺术.
The documentary film touched on the origins of clowning & krumping. Watching the REAL stuff, i realized tt MTV krumping is so commercialized & really runined the spirit of krumping... Krumping was actually abt ppl expressing their anger, emotions, hatred, frustrations etc via some unrehearsed movements. Its all abt culture, its not longer DANCE alone. The setting where krump really originated was in USA, where gang fights, Shootings, drugs are everywhere, Life is hard for these Blacks. They cannot go to dance academy (no ballet, waltz, jazz etc), no $$. And they got no sports (not even american football/ basketball, tt is only possible in the main cities, according to the film la)
Hence everywk, teenagers juz crowd together at some garage or open space, with some music, and u dance..... Got no other activity what..... Give out all the angst & fustrations. Hence everything is every wild & beastly, which the documentary film show some parallel clips of Ancient African/Red Indian?? dance, which really found many similarities. The issue here is tribal.... Which led me to think of more abt the 表演, 舞蹈, 艺术 aspects...
Krumping, as a dance, is v tribal & has 宗教性, which led me to think abt the 乩童 in 庙会, actually we can draw many similarities in these two 表演. And the interesting thing is tt, both coincides with a common theatre theory - Antonin Artaud's Theatre Of Cruelty 残酷剧场. I really find that extremely amazing, each form of performance haf so much in common & all can be classified together under some performance theory.
什么是舞蹈, 什么是表演, 什么是艺术? 有人说舞蹈是通过肢体来表达讯息,情感,剧情等. 真的只是这样吗? 表演,艺术, 舞蹈, 甚至剧场, 四者之间的关系又是怎样的? 其中的微妙关系实在难以清楚明确地刮分.....
而舞蹈更是与宗教有着密切关系. 远古时代,第一个舞蹈应该是巫师吧! 之后,舞蹈也成了战争的附属品, 所以有所谓的"战舞". 当然之后, 舞蹈开始有了娱乐的作用 (宫廷舞,街头戏,勾栏/瓦舍), 但是无可争辩的是舞蹈的最初形态是与宗教有着密切关系. 舞蹈是带有"宗教性"的. 而Krumping 更加有这样的色彩. 看了之后, 我真的对于表演,艺术, 舞蹈, 甚至剧场有另一种体会.
Hence, i pen down this entry.... Its really inspiring... =) It has been a long time since i blogged abt something so enthusiastically....
