陶身体剧场“数位系列”《13》《14》，把“宇宙的缩影”放进身体里

 

《13》《14》，身体新语言的探索

一生一世，身身不息

 

2023年2月，陶身体剧场获得威尼斯双年展舞蹈银狮奖，陶身体剧场的艺术总监陶冶与排练总监段妮也成为史上第二位荣获狮奖的中国人。获奖的消息一经释出，引起巨大反响，也把舞团再次拉回大众视野，而上一次引起波澜的是2022年成立了十四年的舞团面临解散与再度重启。

 

数位系列作品《13》《14》是舞团重启后的首创作品——以上下场进行同台合演，创作观念也更极致地指向了对身体新语言的探索，亦包含着两个数字相结合后的美好寓意——一生一世，身身不息。本次《13》《14》作为上海首演，也是上海文化广场与陶身体剧场就“数位系列”全部作品呈现的延续，把舞团极致而纯粹的理念传达出去。

《13》是编舞陶冶的第十二部数位系列作品，这部作品以三位一体的概念来对应数字13，其中包含了独舞、双人舞、群舞，这三种身体的连接方式构成了整部创作。在作品《13》里，舞者们相连成一个整体，再逐渐裂变为不同的形态，在运动中持续不断的舞段变化，开启了一个复杂的物理世界：实现撞击、挤压、融合、坠落、反弹、拉扯等无穷现象。身体之间通过慢速、中速、快速的律动节奏，幻化为水流、山石、万物。此时，身体作为分子，展示了天地间的玄妙莫测。 一元、二元、多元的概念形成了一种规律，在此次创作中，编舞陶冶以舞蹈的三种形态、音乐的三种元素、时间的三种变化来联结成一个混沌的整体，在严谨即开放的编排理念中，回应了当下具象、无常的不同状态。

《14》作为编舞陶冶的第十三部数位系列作品，他将舞蹈运动的最终意义指向了节奏与变化。如何挑战身体新的语境？这一次，他以直面动作中动和静之间的时间与空间，来对应圆运动的曲线迂回，舞者将用身体的停顿与变化来进行回应。该作品的音乐大胆启用了单一极简的平均律，用时针递进的方式来对应舞蹈中身体变化万千的繁复动态，通过少即是多的视听关系，将陶身体的圆运动体系拓展到语汇的极致。空间中点线面的切割与折叠，身体重心失衡时的激荡与摇摆，让作品再次回归到纯粹的身体运动，一切可能性将在变与不变的节奏中展开万象之途。

媒体评论

 “陶身体剧场是一个具有远见、使命和宗旨的杰出舞团。就像过去伟大的舞蹈家一样，他们将身体的本质理解为‘宇宙的缩影’，并从中找到了自己独特的领域去探索和扩展。他们在这个陌生领域的深入探索是巧妙的、重要的、有启发性的，在观看他们的同时，我们也被他们的才华和睿智所拥抱和激发。”——韦恩·麦格雷戈（威尼斯双年展评审会，舞蹈领域主席）

 

“陶冶有一种将观者拉入其极简无奢的内在冥想之境的能力，如果你心驰神往，便会发现身体就是一处神圣的所在。”—— 美国《纽约时报》

 

“看了他们的作品就不难理解为什么编导和舞团的创始人陶冶如此抢眼。他是中国正在蓬勃发展的当代舞界一股强劲的新兴力量。”—— 英国《泰晤士报》

13 is the twelfth installment of choreographer Tao Ye’s “Numerical Series”. This work uses the concept of the Trinity to correspond to the number 13, which includes solo dance, duet dance and group dance. These three types of body interaction and connection constitute the entire creation.

 

In the work, the dancers are connected into a whole, and then gradually fission into different forms. The continuous changes in the dance sequence during the movement open up a complex physical world: the realization of impact, extrusion, fusion, and falling , rebound, pull and other infinite phenomena. Through slow, medium and fast rhythms, the bodies are transformed into water, mountains, rocks and all things. At this time, the body, as a medium, demonstrates the vagaries of imagination.

 

The concepts of one, two and multiple dimentions form a rule. In this creation, the choreographer cultivated the three changes of body, space, and time to form a chaotic whole. Rigorous and open concepts are used in the choreography to respond to the different states of the present concrete and impermanent.

Rhythm is the linkage of all life.

 

14, the thirteenth work of Tao Ye’s “Numerical Series”, is about the exploration of rhythm and change. How to challenge the new context of the body? This time, Tao Ye breaks the previous creative method of repeated cycles, and uses the ever-changing texture of movement to explore the space-time possibility between movement and stillness.

 

The music of this work boldly adopts a single minimalist well-balanced temperament, and uses the progressive method of the hour hand to correspond to the complex dynamics of the body in dance. Through the audio-visual relationship of less is more, the Circular Movement System (body technique of TAO Dance Theater) is expanded to the ultimate.

 

The cuttings and foldings of points, lines and planes in the space, the agitation and swing with the control of weight, make the work return to pure body movement again, and all possibilities will unfold in a changing and unchanged rhythm.
