Chapter 44 It is also possible that fate is simply impossible to fight
The invention of video recording technology is a great creation for the world and an important weapon for the art of dance. It can record the beautiful dance postures and spread their beauty widely, and at the same time, it is also a powerful tool for many dancers or those who want to become dancers to learn from others, learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and make progress.
However, there are always two sides to everything, and it is impossible to be perfect. Since video has so many advantages, it also has its irreparable flaws.
The main flaw lies in the fact that it has no way to record what the dancer conveys with his body and breath on the scene, which is beyond the visual.
However, as a special case, Gilgamesh, who dances with a very flamboyant and unbridled style in the video, actually breaks the boundaries of this space, and makes Shaida, who is staring at him intently, feel something that should not be felt here.
It may also be because Shaida has been more aware than ordinary people since she was very young.
In short, she captures a very youthful vibe – a youthful flair, rebellious, unique, but full of energy.
Young enough, even Gilgamesh, who is performing this dance, may be younger than his current self!
It's a surprising feeling.
However, no matter who Gilgamesh is, no matter how old he is, whether he is younger than himself, one thing is beyond doubt—he is definitely a once-in-a-century genius. Moreover, he proved with his own dance that the movements that Vantasia designed for Shaida not only worked in theory, but also in practice.
It's just that at this moment, Xia Ida deeply feels that - Teacher Fantasia, he really thinks too highly of himself!
Each student is given only three days to digest his or her movements, during which time the basic composition of the entire dance section must be mastered, all the movements can be danced and fit into the rhythm of the music. The requirements of this stage do not need to be too perfect, because there are still two weeks left for joint practice and refinement.
It can be seen that almost everyone is very happy with their own dance sequences, but there is a lot of speculation about how Gray Fantasia manages to take care of everyone and how much effort he puts into the unseen.
As in the previous week, Shaida will stay and practice after each day's group training.
End of the first day. During this day, Gray Fantacia visited the practice site of their group, and continued to correct and refine each student's movements on the basis of the guidance of the assistant instructor to help them practice. But he has a whole hundred people to take care of in his hands, and it is impossible for everyone to take care of them in such a short period of time, so he is selective in guiding his students.
His choice of students in need of guidance was based on his own judgment, and at the moment, there were three groups of a hundred people, and not a single one of them still had doubts about his judgment. So, the students who were not instructed on this day did not have any opinions about it.
Among the students who did not receive any guidance on the first day was Shaida.
This was a surprise to Assistant Faculty member Jay.
Because, only Shaida, even he can't guide her, so Jay thinks that since Fantasia has made such a set for her, he should give her more time to help her achieve her desired goal. But now, it seems that it is not.
Shaida wasn't the only one who stayed to practice. It is simply impossible to fully master the new dance section in just one day. Therefore, with this fresh energy, many people also want to practice a little more and master the essentials as soon as possible.
However, after all, his physical fitness is limited, and after practicing, there is still only one Shaida left.
It was already dark outside, and Shaida pulled up the curtains and turned on the lights.
She returned to the mirror and looked at herself in the mirror.
The outline of the dance section sent to everyone contains a concise description of the content and emotions expressed in the dance for the dancers to refer to when interpreting. Shaida's choreography is a two-minute and forty-second pas de deux, and she has to play the role of Noens, the goddess of fate.
"The Harvest of Bacchus" is a dance drama about the love story between Bacchus, the warrior Theseus, and the Cretan princess Ariadne. Although this legend is old and almost familiar to everyone, it is not often that dance dramas based on it are still written.
Ariadne was the daughter of the mythical King Minos of Crete. Her mother, Parsiphae, gave birth to a minotaur, a minotaur, who was imprisoned in a labyrinth and fed by seven pairs of boys and girls each year. The warrior Theseus, who swore to eradicate the evils of the people, led the virgins to Crete, killed the Minotaur and walked out of the labyrinth along the marked rope with the help of the ball of thread and the magic knife given to him by the princess Ariadne.
So Ariadne and Theseus fell in love. However, when they came to Naxos together, the goddess of fate, Nornes, told him in a dream of Theseus that their love was not blessed and that their union could only bring bad luck. When he awoke, Theseus realized that although he was deeply in love with Ariadne, he was powerless to fight the gods. He woke his companion and sailed away from Naxos as the first rays of dawn illuminated the earth, leaving the sleeping Ariadne behind.
Ariadne wakes up to find herself abandoned on a desert island, overwhelmed and heartbroken. It was at this time that Bacchus, the god of wine, appeared, and with the help of the goddess of fate, the princess and the god of wine finally fell in love.
Shaida's character is the goddess of fate Nouns who whispered to the warrior Theseus in a dream, causing Theseus to abandon Ariadne!
"It looks like I'm playing the bad guy......" Shaida thought depressedly.
Now she doesn't have the consciousness that life is always full of ups and downs and helplessness, and she inevitably needs to bend her knees and bow her head in the face of fate. In her heart, since the princess and Theseus already love each other, then, for whatever reason, the one who broke up this pair of lovers should be bad people, right?
Even if this person is the goddess of fate, there is no exception.
However, let's say that she is a bad person, but she has contributed to the love between the princess and the god of wine, and from the final result, this love is also extremely sincere and beautiful.
Shaida shook her head vigorously - what's the point of thinking about this? Let's focus on the action that you can't do anyway!
Originally, Nornes, the goddess of fate in the story, only warned Theseus, and it was Theseus himself who chose to leave. However, in the dance drama "The Harvest of Dionysus", the choreography adds such a scene - Ariadne faces the goddess of fate, expressing her anger and sadness. She was not as mature and experienced as Theseus, and she was full of fighting spirit even in the presence of God.
However, Nornes, the goddess of fate, was stronger and more ruthless than her, and with the most powerful sense of power, she suppressed Ariadne, so that she finally understood that the power of fate is difficult to fight.
This is the plot they want to express with their body language - Shaida's goddess of fate, and Angela's Ariadne.
