Huang Jingzhou’s dance teacher once told him: “At the highest level of dance, what you see is not just movements, but culture.”
This piece of advice from his teacher has always been engraved in his heart, accompanying him on his journey to become a world-class performer of Chinese classical dance.
Chinese classical dance is an art form built upon a profound foundation of traditional aesthetics. As a dancer, through constant exploration and refinement, unraveling the layers of mystery within this art form gradually allows the audience to appreciate the unique and subtle cultural details behind it.
Every time Jingzhou steps onto the stage, he embodies the living inheritor of ancient culture, executing movements passed down for thousands of years and interpreting the wisdom left by his predecessors.
Whether portraying the youthful charisma of Emperor Kangxi or the noble aspirations of Minister Wang Yun, the portrayal of characters in Chinese classical dance is not merely artistic expression but also influences and cultivates the performers’ worldview. Life is akin to a dance: the harmonious integration of form and spirit represents the beauty of a higher realm.
