“如果您要想成为一个专职的舞蹈家,首先必须考虑的是应有一个健全的体格。”这话引自十九世纪著名的芭蕾大师乔治·诺维尔的《舞蹈和舞剧书信集》,我认为这是每一个严谨的舞蹈学生必读之书。诺维尔在此书例举了大量舞蹈演员所必须具备的生理素质,任何排除他理论在外的选材研究都是不完整的。至今,这些理论同1760年代一样仍具有现实的指导意义。 “If you want to become a full-time dancer, the first thing to think about is that you should have a sound physique.” The words are quoted from the Letters of Dance and Dancing Episode by George Novière, a famous ballet master of the 19th century. Think of it as a must-read book for every serious dance student. In this book, Novell illustrates the physiological qualities that a large number of dancers must possess. Any material selection that excludes his theory is incomplete. So far, these theories have the same realistic guiding significance as the 1760s.
