SENTIDO FLAMENCO HK Philosophies 理念
S is for Sincerity
Each flamenco artist must decide for him/herself what the reason for pursuing flamenco is. Flamenco artists should remain sincere in their pursuits and remember that the reason to study flamenco is not money, fame, prestige or applause, but much deeper and more profound substance. E is for Excellence The study of flamenco requires a pursuit in technical excellence. Flamenco artists should perpetually strive to be the best that they can be. One is only as good as one's last performance. The study of technique is never ending. N is for Natural Flamenco requires movements that are natural and innate – a kind of authentic expression. Anything else would be forced, false and unauthentic. T is for Truth Flamenco requires expression of the truth. Flamenco artists should strive to express what is true in their hearts, true feelings that stem from their souls, rather than take on personae that are not part of their own psyche. We must be true to ourselves - no self-boasting or self-degrading. I is for Intelligence Blindly following choreography or learned materials is not enough. Flamenco artists need to use intelligence to apply what they have learned from one master to another teacher's materials. While art is about heart and soul, there is no substitute to intelligence and smart uses of prior knowledge. Also, knowing an art form is being able to critique it intelligently. Knowing what to learn, whom to learn from and how to achieve knowledge all demonstrate intelligence in a flamenco artist. D is for Dedication Talent can only go so far. There is no short cut to hard work. In order to become a competent artist, dedication to practice and study is a must. Flamenco artists need to make sacrifices and commit to regular and rigorous practice and study, as well as perform appropriate research. O is for Open Taking advice and criticism is never easy. Still, flamenco artists must accept suggestions and constructive criticism with an open mind. In addition, flamenco artists need to remain open and aware to other stimuli that may inspire, be it music, instrumentation, compás, percussion, dance, other art and life forms. These are the philosophies that SENTIDO FLAMENCO HK strives to attain. While the group boasts no professional training or background, we pursue a specific flamenco sentido as well as excellence and deep understanding of flamenco. Guided by their advisors, the group endeavors to pursue excellence while remaining true to ourselves, and maintaining integrity to the art form. |
S代表Sincerity「誠」:誠心追求藝術,不功利,無私心
每個佛蘭明高藝術家都必須明確自己為什麼要追求這門藝術,亦應保持懇切的態度,謹記學習佛蘭明高不是為了名利掌聲,而是更深奧的東西的內涵。 E代表 Excellence「精」:精益求精 佛蘭明高要求高超的技巧,藝術家要終身努力,在舞技上精益求精。一場演出的成功只代表過去的成績,對技巧的學習永不休止。 N代表 Natural「信」:自然,可信,不造作 佛蘭明高強調動作自然而發自內心,一種可信的表達,任何一點矯揉造作都不能取信於觀眾。 T代表 Truth「真」:認識真實的自我,不自欺欺人,亦不妄自菲薄 演繹佛蘭明高靠的是內心的真實,來自靈魂深處的真情實感,而不是戴上他人的面具。我們要展示真實的自我,既不自欺欺人,也不自我貶低。 I代表 Intelligence「智」:不盲目,不盲從,有批判, 有取捨 學習需要智慧——學什麼?向誰學?我們當然要學習舞序,收集素材,但那是不夠的,佛蘭明高學習者還需要把從不同老師那裡學到的東西融會貫通,自由運用。沒什麼比巧妙運用所學的知識更能幫助學習者進步。了解一門藝術還意味著能夠講述它,品評它,批評它。所有這些都體現了一個佛蘭明高藝術家的智慧。 D代表 Dedication「專」:專心投入,竭盡所能 成功沒有捷徑,單靠天分,沒有辛勤的汗水,就沒有藝術家的成就。勤學勤練勤參考,是每個藝術家應做的,專注投入日常訓練,表演者才對得起觀眾。 O代表 Open「虛」:虛懷若谷,有容乃大 虛心接納批評從來都不容易,作為佛蘭明高學習者,我們提醒自己要持開放態度接受這些批評。同時,亦要敞開懷抱,博採眾長,在生命或其他藝術形式中尋找新的樂句、節奏或舞步,啟發我們的新靈感,這才是真正的佛蘭明高精神。 以上就是SENTIDO FLAMENCO HK奮鬥的目標。我們的賣點不是專業科班出身,而是追求佛蘭明高對「情感」表達的要求,盡力展示對佛蘭明高的深層次理解,並希望在幾位顧問的指導下,以誠懇的態度追求純粹的佛蘭明高藝術。 |
