In the closing ceremony of the 11th National Paralympic Games and the 8th Special Olympics, the overture of the closing ceremony of the 8th Special Olympics, 20 actors wearing ink and wash coats quickly came to the stage, and the fans on their hands kept turning in accordance with the rhythm of the music. , The tall, straightforward, unrestrained and smooth Tai Chi is unforgettable. Perhaps careful netizens will notice that there are a few sign language teachers standing next to them, only to realize that they are all hearing impaired dancers.
These actors come from the Fine Arts Department of the Special Education Art School of Xi’an Academy of Fine Arts. Together with the combination of actors and wheelchair Latin dancers, they dedicated a wonderful “big party” for everyone. If you can’t hear the music clearly, you can’t keep up with the rhythm. The rhythm is the most important in a multi-person show. If you can’t keep up, it may affect the expression of other parts of the performance and the overall effect of the program.
In order to solve the biggest obstacle of “listening”, they came up with a “multi-in-one” way: first ask the sign language teacher to make corresponding gestures at a fixed point according to the changing needs, because the body still needs to react after seeing the eyes, the sign language teacher Preparatory gestures must also be made to remind the actors that the next step is about to be carried out; while watching the gestures, the actors will quickly understand the progress of other parts through the sights on the left and right sides, and use the fixed buildings on the scene as the coordinates to determine the station position. Quickly adjust their own rhythm; the actors have to beat the beat in their hearts when playing, and then feel the rhythm of the scene through the vibration of the floor.
Actors Wang Jiawei and Zheng Xinxing told reporters that the fans in their hands are actually difficult to control and fall to the ground if they are not careful. Therefore, when they are free, everyone rehearses in the open space outside the court and keeps the fans in their hands. . “I cherish the opportunity to perform at the closing ceremony of the Paralympic Games, maybe only once in my life, hoping to present such a beautiful dance perfectly.” Zheng Xinxing said.
Art is interlinked. The children on the stage are beautiful and confident, and they are also very good in the classroom. Man Yue, a teacher at the School of Special Education and Art of Xi’an Academy of Fine Arts, said, “In teaching, I found that their understanding of art is higher than that of ordinary people, and coupled with their good art skills, they often create amazing works. Children’s They are highly disciplined and have a strong sense of time. During the rehearsal period, they are very worry-free, and even do things in advance that I haven’t notified. Thank them very much.”
