So, why did what is now called "modern dance" begin in the United States? To begin to answer this question, I’ll need to backtrack a little bit and talk about classical ballet. By the late 1800’s, ballet had lost a lot of its popularity. Most of the ballet dancers who performed in the United States were brought over from Europe. They performed using the rigid techniques that had been passed down through the centuries. Audiences and dancers in the United States were eager for their own" con temporary" dance form. And, so, around 1900, dancers created one.
So, how was this "modern" dance so different from classical ballet? Well, most notably, it wasn’t carefully choreographed. Instead, the dance depended on the improvisation and free, personal expression of the dancers. Music and scenery were of little importance to the "modern"dance-and lightness of movement wasn’t important either. In fact, modern dancers made no attempt at all to conceal the effort involved in a dance step.
But even if improvisation appealed to audiences, many dance critics were less than enthusiastic about the performances. They questioned the artistic integrity of dancers who were not professionally trained and the artistic value of works that had no formal structure. Loie Fuller, after performing Fire Dance, was described as doing little more than turning "round and round like an eggbeater". Yet, the free, personal expression of the pioneer dancers is the basis of the "controlled freedom" of modern dance today.
9. What does the speaker mainly discuss?
10. Why were ballet performances unpopular in the United States in the early 1990’s?
11. What is a distinguishing feature of modern dance performances?
12. Why were early modern dancers criticized by dance critics?
选项
A、Lightness of movement.
B、Elaborate scenery.
C、Free expression.
D、Rigid choreography.
答案
C
解析
这是一道细节题。现代舞蹈表演区别于古典芭蕾的特征不止一个方面。考生如果把握住了“most notably”这个词组,就不难知道其中最突出的一点在于现代舞蹈不是经过仔细设计的,而是依赖于表演者的即兴创作,是表演者个人化的自由的表达方式。Choreograph:设计舞蹈动作;improvisation:即兴创作;elaborate:精心制作的。
