美国艺术史家理查德·克劳斯说:“邓肯的主要成就就是向舞蹈投下一道曙光:舞蹈首要的是个人表现的手段,一种强有力的和情绪饱满的舞台艺术,一种从当时芭蕾的僵化的表演和死硬的古典技巧求得自由解放的东西。”邓肯主张身体要透明可见,即身体的体操动作与心灵的合一。一方面追求“美利坚精神”的舞蹈表现,一方面又力图复活古希腊悲剧合唱舞蹈——巴台农神殿的陶立克柱与头戴金冠的“自由女神”。太阳神经丛是灵魂在人体中的住处,也是内在动力转化为动作的一个中心。她采用的主要手段,是瓦格纳、贝多芬及19世纪所有浪漫主义大师的音乐作品,为邓肯提供了必不可少的变形要素,只要它的情绪品质有力量刺激她,她就有一种动力展开一连串的动作,以至于她能在整整一部交响乐的过程中使动作保持稳定的情绪的真实性。——编者 The American art historian Richard Klaus said: "Dunken’s main achievement is to cast a light on dance: dance is primarily a means of individual expression, a powerful and full of emotional stage art, a ballet from then on The fossilized performances and hard-to-find classical techniques seek for freedom and liberation.” Duncan advocated that the body be transparent and visible, that is, the body’s gymnastic movements and the unity of the soul. On the one hand, it pursues the dance performance of the “American spirit” and on the other hand tries to resurrect the ancient Greek tragedy chorus dance—Tarikekzhu of the Parthenon temple and the “Goddess of Liberty” wearing a gold crown. The solar plexus is the residence of the soul in the human body, and it is also a center of the transformation of internal power into action. The main method she uses is Wagner, Beethoven, and all 19th century masters of romantic music. It provides Duncan with essential transformation elements. As long as its emotional quality has the power to stimulate her, she has a momentum to start a series of The action so much that she can maintain the authenticity of the emotions throughout the entire symphony. --editor
