Before we talk about when the dance day is, we must first remember the great man, theorist choreographic art Jean - Georges Novera. After all, it is thanks to the complete dedication of our lives to the development of dance and ballet that we have the opportunity to celebrate such a wonderful modern holiday - International Dance Day, which is celebrated on April 29.
Who is Jean-Georges Noverre?
In fact, this is a unique person who, back in the eighteenth century, was able to see the perspective of such art as choreography and ballet, understanding its relevance and modernity at all times.
He believed that dance would never go out of fashion, that as long as people exist, they will always be able to express those feelings that cannot be expressed in words through beautiful and graceful body movements.
Jean-Georges was born on April 29, 1727 (died October 19, 1810) in France. WITH youth became one of the best students of choreographer L. Dupre, and subsequently led an entire ballet troupe in one of famous theater that time "Drudy Lane" in London (England).
Nover saw and felt dance in everything: in rain, wind, in battle and in love, but mainly specialized in heroic ballet, also in play ballet and tragedy ballet.
Nover outlined all his knowledge and achievements in his work “Letters on Dance and Ballets.” the main idea, the work is that in the union of a choreographer, composer and artist it is possible to achieve an amazing transmission of the meaning of the work through dance and pantomime. This book was published in 1759, but today it is considered a bestseller in the theory of choreographic art.
When is Dance Day and how is it celebrated?
In 1982, by decision of UNESCO, the birthday of Jean-Georges Novera, April 29, became International Dance Day. From this day on, he is called throughout the world the great reformer and “father modern ballet».
All over the world dancers and choreographers, choreographers and masters folk dance celebrate their professional holiday. Television in many countries broadcasts programs about great dancers, choreographers and choreographers, their life stories, contributions to the development of ballet and great achievements.
Theater and ballet troupes are preparing productions for this holiday greatest playwright and composers of the world to show all humanity the divine grace of ballet.
But behind all this there is backbreaking work every day and a huge amount of work, because the art of ballet has always been and remains a privilege only for the talented, most patient and persistent dancers. Maybe this is why there are not many real dance masters in the world.
April 29 is International Dance Day. Celebration of rhythm and plasticity
April 29, 2016 - No comments
International Dance Day, whose history dates back to 1982, was established by the International Dance Committee created by UNESCO. Since then, every year on April 29, amateurs and professionals celebrate International Dance Day on the birthday of Jean Georges Noverre (04/29/1727). This French choreographer is rightfully considered the father of modern ballet art.
The dance that became the reason for the celebration evokes its own associations for everyone. And everyone determines their own preferences in the style and direction of dance.
When International World Dance Day is celebrated, a huge number of people always gather. Those who dance for fun, and those who do it professionally.
International Dance Day: who dances and why?
As Yuri Burlan’s Systemic Vector Psychology explains, each of us is naturally given certain groups of desires - vectors that move us through life. These desires are provided with the properties of the psyche and body for their implementation. There are eight vectors in total.
People for whom International Dance Day is a holiday are defined in system-vector psychology, as owners of the skin vector. Lean, flexible, with an extraordinary sense of rhythm and quick reaction. They also know how to limit themselves and submit to discipline, they strive for primacy and dominance. They are able to work tirelessly to achieve their goal. The sphere of activity of such people ranges from a salesperson in a supermarket to the head of an organization, manager, athlete, dancer.
They are the main ones characters when International Dance Day is celebrated. These are natural dancers who keep the rhythm, feel the partner and perfectly following picture dance. In their striving for novelty, they create new styles and directions in the art of dance.
Let's add sensuality and artistry to International Dance Day
The viewer is attracted not only by the precision and synchronicity of the dancer’s movements, but also by the technique of performance. I admire the sensuality and artistry with which the dance is performed and conveyed emotional mood. The abilities for empathy and vivid expression of emotions are characteristic of another vector - the visual.
People with a visual vector are endowed by nature with the desire and ability to create emotional connections. Creative thinking allows them to create images, get used to them and convey them to the viewer with all their emotional power and artistry.
The combination of these two vectors creates the visual-cutaneous ligament, which gives birth to the best dancers. This combination of vectors is also present, for the most part, among the organizers of the International Dance Day and among fans dance art. Both of them have a craving for beauty, which is most characteristic of representatives of the visual vector.
Let's add depth to International Dance Day
The sound vector adds special depth to the image created by the dancer. The presence of this vector testifies to the abstract intellect of its owner, pushing towards self-knowledge and comprehension of the meaning of life. It shows not just a picture, but also gives it a certain volume that is felt in the dance. His dance is innovation, a breakthrough into the future, made in the process of finding oneself.
Today, as International Dance Day is celebrated, we remember those who created His Majesty's Dance with capital letters.
One of the most prominent representatives ballet art, which in addition to the visual-cutaneous ligament also carries a sound vector, was Vaslav Nijinsky. It was called the "eighth wonder of the world." Nijinsky created not only unforgettable images on stage, but also discovered a new style in ballet art - expressionism, revolutionary for that time. He also discovered fundamentally new possibilities of plasticity - jumps that took your breath away and seemed to “hang” in the air.
International Dance Day 2016. Let it be a holiday of realization
Understanding his vectorial characteristics, a person becomes the master of his life with a full understanding of his talents and capabilities. And this is important for everyone. After all, even the International World Dance Day may not please you if you are a dancer not by choice, but contrary to your natural properties, in justification of other people’s failed desires or unconscious ones of your own.
International Dance Day is a celebration of grace and movement coupled with sensuality conveyed by the body. Demonstration of the achievements of the implemented skin vector in conjunction with visual and sound vectors.
