艺术要与时代同步,现代舞奠基一代的舞蹈家,接受了社会动荡以及战争的洗礼,舞蹈不再仅仅具有浪漫主义色彩,而是更多地体现出对人性的关怀。20世纪50、60年代,以坎宁汉为代表的新一代的现代舞蹈家通过不断反叛前人的艺术,进而形成更为独特的舞蹈思想和形式。他们的艺术既与传统艺术有联系又区别于传统。 Art should be synchronized with the times. The dancers who have laid the foundation for the generation of modern dance have been subjected to social unrest and the baptism of war. The dance is no longer merely of romanticism but shows more concern for human nature. In the 1950s and 1960s, a new generation of modern dancers, represented by Cunningham, formed a more unique idea and form of dance by continuously rebelling against the art of their predecessors. Their art is both connected with tradition and different from tradition.
