舞者 - Dancers


女舞者是一名從少訓練有素的舞蹈員,在一次車禍中失去了整個右臂。
男舞者在遇上女之前從來沒有跳過舞,也是在一次意外中失去了左腿。

這對原本互不相識的男女在意外之後都陷入了幾年的抑鬱狀態。後來女的當上了兒童舞蹈團的教練,意識到自己基本上無法忘記跳舞,從此重新苦練,重拾隨著右臂而失去了的平衡和自信。經過一段時間,她甚至開始跳出簡單的輪流旋轉。然後,她聽說到這個意外後陷入抑鬱和憤怒谷底的男子,就決心要找到他並說服他與自己排舞。

他從來沒有跳過舞,沒有跳舞的基本概念,也不懂得如何運用自己的身體來表達舞者的思緒,加上僅有一條腿.....。但她開始耐心地教他跳舞,經過無數次的失望,放棄,退出,復合,苦練,他們優美的舞姿和天衣無縫的節奏終於贏得了中國現代舞蹈比賽的一個最高獎項。

這對舞者殘而不廢,願我輩以此共勉。

  1. original English caption received with video clip above:
    =========================================
    In a Chinese modern dance competition on TV one very unique couple won one of the top prizes.
    The lady, in her 30's, was a dancer who had trained since she was a little girl. Later in life, she lost her entire right arm in an accident and fell into a state of depression for a few years.
    Someone then asked her to coach a Children's dancing group. From that point on, she realized that she could not forget dancing. She still loved to dance and wanted to dance again. So, she started to do some of her old routines, but, having lost her arm, she had also lost her balance.
    It took a while before she could even make simple turns and spins without falling. Then she heard of a man in his 20s who had lost a leg in an accident. He had also fallen into the usual denial, depression and anger type of emotional roller coaster.
    But, she was determined to find him and persuade him to dance with her..
    He had never danced, and to dance with one leg....are you joking with me? "No way!"
    But, she didn't give up, and he reluctantly agreed thinking, "I have nothing else to do anyway."
    She started to teach him dancing. The two broke up a few times because he had no concept of using muscle, how to control his body, and knew none of the basic things about dancing. When she became frustrated and lost patience with him, he would walk out. Eventually, they came back together and started training seriously.
    They hired a choreographer to design routines for them.
    She would fly high (held by him) with both arms (a sleeve for an arm) flying in the air. He could bend horizontally supported by one leg with her leaning on him, etc.
    In the competition, as you will see, they dance beautifully and they legitimately won the competition.

  2. Having two left feet is a common excuse for people's denial to dance, this gent doesn't even have one...

  3. I agree with Chi's comment.
    But... I still confused why those healthy (with right and left fleet) and good looking ladies always refuse to dance with me.
    Because their fleet or .. Don't want to know. Why bother...
