The Cross-domain Integration of Using Ink Rhyme Dance Art to Inspire Chinese Character Calligraphy
Ya-Bing Wang’s Ink Rhyme is a contemporary dance that interprets the essences of Chinese calligraphy art. The dancers depict the Chinese characters through the movement of their bodies, and each movement reflects the energy and power of strokes and structures. The dance manifests that ‘Life of Ink Rhyme’ is the ‘life of artistic conception of painting’, as well as the ‘life of dance art’. The dance creations of Ink Rhyme reflect upon the learning of traditional Chinese calligraphy. Besides the writing of the characters, the humanism and art contained within the dance could be applied to the development of creative design, thus facilitating cross-domain integration. Between the traditions and innovations, the philosophical thinking of cultural insights can incorporate new media, and deliberate over the display of contemporary diversity in the art of Chinese calligraphy.
