Morphological Study Of Classical Ballet

Refer to classical ballet, people's first reaction is dressing a white-gauze which looks elegant as the fairy; fantastic tiptoe technology and the aesthetic principles of "open,tighten,straight,vertical". These characteristics enhance the performance of the ballet play to the extreme. However, we will easily neglect to observe the art itself when we hurry to study how to endow the ballet more elegancy. We no longer satisfied with just endow a few abstract definition, such as Chinese classical dance,ballet,and modern dance, alse disagreed with labeled them and storage them into the file, which is far from observe the complex nature of the art. This classical ballet, "the crystallization of western culture", "crown of the art of dance" ,which has undergo various of test for 500 years, left many precious treasure to our offspring. In the development process, it has not only formed an unique set of aesthetic criterion and a scientific training system, but also come down as a live, flesh and blood abundance of "White Swan" image. Moreover, it has completed the modify of its own shape, create a absolute different action shape and style features from other kinds of dance.Artistic or aesthetic morphology describing the nature and change of the form in the art-field is mainly by descript and classify the form or the constitutes of the work of art in some scientific methods. We called the subject which study the aesthetic form of dance as the dance morphology. Classical ballet is a wonderful form of dance compare with other style, scientific analysis by the dance morphology, study the fundamentality of the movement is the key to open out the Classical ballet's complex nature. And, in the process of this study, with special emphasis on the form of classical ballet construction in our cultural system, attach importance to attach importance between culture and shape, we clearly see not only the classical ballet's movements form and inherent structure, complex nature, but also find the support of a history,epoch,spirit, find the life-exotic entiment deep-seated behind the skeleton of it. Meanwhile, the research on the form of the classic ballet can be treat as the pioneer of the art research. This can support the theory and support, and also will be propitious to the thrive of the china ballet.The article analysis the shape of the classical ballet in three aspects, the second chapter is about the total of research on the classical ballet. Through the dance action, dance clips, Dance drama these three aspect to describe and distill the shape of classical ballet, It mainly analyze the final shape of classical ballet. With the grasp to the final shape of the classic ballet, we have had a timing study on the classical ballet in the third chapter. Emphasize on the various shape of the classical ballet during the different period and the evolvement of it, and we also illustrate the relationship between the form of the shape and the condition of the era,culture factor. As the research tell us, the development of the classic ballet has experienced the geometry form "Queen's comedy ballet"â†'the pantomime form "The daughter can not be barrier"â†'the three-dimensional form "Giselle"â†'the final form "Swan Lake" several evolvement process, and developed during the Renaissance, the Enlightenment Movement, the Romanticism Movement. So it hold the culture spirit and art temperament accord with the era. The forth Chapter focuses on religious spirit's influence on the morphology of classical ballet. this chapter is the keystone of this paper. Since there were tightness relationships between the prehistoric religion and dance,classical ballet roots, sprout and growth in the country which hold the belief of Christianism. In its development process, the spirit of religion infiltrated into it gradually, which had a tremendous impact on every aspect of the classical ballet. This influence makes classical ballet exhibit relation to the Christianism in both the sprit and the the profermence. I hope my standpoint can be contribute to the constraction of the dance morphology and the career of the dance theory.
