11月18日下午,在东方艺术中心的排练厅里,笔者见到了金星,她正和同伴们为12月7日、8日在上海大剧院上演的《迷魅上海》紧张地排练着。这个英国普利茅斯大学达廷敦艺术学院荣誉艺术博士是中国现代舞的领军人物,她不仅在舞台上展现着自己的骄人舞姿,在幕后,她还是一位精益求精的编舞大师。在大多数人的观念里,跳舞就是吃青春饭,过了30岁肯定要转行。细数中国舞蹈界,到四十多岁仍活跃在舞台上的舞者并不多,但金星说:“我会舞到生命的尽头。” On the afternoon of November 18, I met Venus in the rehearsal hall of the Oriental Art Center and she was rehearsing nervously with her companions for the “Charming Shanghai” staged at the Shanghai Grand Theater on December 7 and 8. The honorary doctor of art at the Dartington College of the Arts at Plymouth University in the United Kingdom is a leader of modern Chinese dance. She not only shows her impressive performance on stage, but behind the scenes is a master choreographer who is constantly improving. In most people’s minds, dancing is to eat youthful food, after the age of 30 must be changedovers. Countdown to Chinese dance, there are not many dancers in their forties who are still active on the stage, but Venus said: “I will dance to the end of my life.”
