THE SPATIAL ARRANGEMENT OF THE ENSEMBLE DANCE IN THE BALLET "CRESTED IBIS"

Abstract

This article takes the group dance segments in the ballet "Crested Ibis" as the research object, and comprehensively and systematically explores the specific forms of group dance spatial arrangement and its intrinsic connection with "shaping the image of Crested Ibis" and "expressing ecological themes" by integrating literature research, video analysis and case analysis. Through the research, it is found that there are three key spatial arrangement techniques in the group dance of this ballet: first, the formation of the plane is arranged with rich imagery; second, vertical layers that can convey emotions are created; third, the stage area is divided with narrative significance. Through these three methods, not only does the image of the Crested Ibis group vividly present itself to the audience, but also the abstract themes such as "harmonious coexistence of human and nature" and "protecting the ecological environment" are transformed into dance language that the audience can directly perceive. This research result can provide practical reference and inspiration for those ballets with ecological themes when designing the group dance parts.
