我们试图改变芭蕾只是给某一特定经济社会阶层、特定性别、特定种族的想法，它可以适用于任何人。

—舞团创始人马赛勒•哈佩尔

We are trying to change the idea that ballet is only for one socioeconomic class, one gender and one race. It can be for everyone.

—Marcellus Harper, Founder of Collage Dance

Kevin Thomas/Founder of Collage Dance

我七岁开始跳舞，在八、九岁的时候我发现我的颜色不对，我觉得我的一部分文化被擦掉了，在舞蹈中我必须做另外一个人。直到我开始在哈莱姆舞剧院跳舞，当我看到了像我一样的舞者时，我看到了受过古典舞蹈训练的黑人民族在舞台上的一种美，我意识到我们需要更多这样的美，这是为什么克利舞团对我如此重要，也是为什么它对于帮助有色舞者前行如此重要。

I started dancing very young at the age of seven. By the time of eight or nine I realized that I was not the right color. I kind felt that part of my culture was being erased. I have to be somebody else to be this dancer. It is only when I started dancing with the Dance Theater of Harlem, when I saw the dancers who look like me, I saw the beauty of blackness of dancers that was classically trained on stage, so I realized that we need more. That’s why Collage became very important to me, why it is important to create a vehicle for dancers of color.

我们想把黑人民族的文化融入在我们的舞蹈中，让人们知道我们可以从中创造出一个全新的世界，并且确保芭蕾舞可以继续被传承下去。我们使芭蕾舞可以被读懂，我们让观众感受到一些东西，当你回家的时候会对芭蕾这种艺术形式有些许不同的理解。

We want to bring [the black community] into it, and let them know that it’s for them and we can create a whole new world out of this. And make sure that Ballet will survive as it is passed on. We make ballet accessible. We make you feel something and you go home feeling differently about this art form.

戴芬•李 / 舞团芭蕾舞演员

我会怎样描述克利舞团？舞团的名字代表了一切。你有克利的舞者，克利的编舞，在这里你什么都要学，又必须什么都能做，这不是一个容易的舞团，你确实需要全部都做，这是我认为克利舞团非常棒的地方，尤其是在这样一个富有多样性的一个舞团里。

How would I describe Collage? The Name says it all. You have Collage of dancers， Collage of repertoire. While you are learning everything you have to be able to do everything. It is not an easy group. You really have to do it all. That’s why I think Collage is such a great thing, especially with our diversity.

谈到代表孟菲斯市，其实是代表这里的人民，他们的故事和背景，通过古典芭蕾的技巧展示出我们可以战胜一切困难，传达出美，并仍然保持欧洲的艺术形式。但这并不代表我们在遮盖什么，或我们在试图擦除我们的部分身份认同。恰恰相反，我们将它与世界舞蹈、当代舞、现代舞，黑人舞蹈舞融合在一起，最终呈现出更多。

About representing Memphis, it is representing the people, their stories and their background, and using the classical ballet technic to show that we can rise above any obstacles, we can be beautiful doing it and we can still have that European art from. But it is not something to mask over, not that we are trying to erase part of our identity. We are incorporating that, and using both world dance, contemporary dance, modern dance, black dance and ballet to come together and cultivate something much more.

观众会看到舞者通过肢体语言表达出他们的文化，并分享他们对于芭蕾舞蹈的热爱。在观看表演时你不会睡着，如果外面天气寒冷，你一定会感受到舞者的热量。

The audiences will see Collage reflects their culture through their movements while sharing the love of ballet. You will not fall asleep in our performances. If it is cold outside, you will come to a Collage show and feel the heat.

节目介绍

Introduction of Dances

1. 《血统》

编舞：达瑞尔 • 格兰德 • 莫尔特里

时长： 14 分钟

编曲 ：肯尼 • 博施

《血统》是一支赞颂先辈的舞蹈。莫尔特里使舞者在空间里展示自己并真诚地表达感谢——永远记住我们现在正站在了许多人的肩膀上。

Lineage

Choreographer: Darrel Grand Moultrie

Run time: 14 mins

Music: Kenji Bunch

Lineage is a pure dance work honoring those who have come before us. Moultrie has created a space for the dancers to present themselves and move from a genuine place of gratitude – always remembering that we are standing on the shoulders of many.

2. 《我之速度》

编舞：约书亚 • 曼卡利克

时长： 10 分钟

编曲：麦克 • 维尔、杜斯汀 • 哈罗兰

作品探究我们生活的速度。曼卡利克相信我们生活的速度决定了我们人际关系的质量与整体生活体验。

The Rate in Which I Am

Choreographer: Joshua Manculich

Run time: 10 mins

Music: Mike Wall, Dustin O’Halloran

The work explores the rate in which we live our lives. Manculich believes that our life’s speed determines the quality of our relationships and overall experience.

3. 《欲言又止》

编舞：尼克拉 • 冯德

时长： 20 分钟

编曲：巴赫

三对夫妻与三把椅子在变化的情感中动态互动。编舞极具创造力，将富有表现力的舞蹈动作构建于隐晦而含蓄的人际关系之上，舞者灵巧地描绘着故事的主线，时而进入时而离开，保持着张力。

Left Unsaid

Choreographer: Nicolo Fonte

Run time: 20 mins

Music: J. S. Bach

Left Unsaid features three couples and three chairs interacting in shifting moods and dynamics. The choreography is inventive, creating expressive original shapes built on an undercurrent of implicit human relationships. The astute placing of dancers to background the main action, and entering or leaving the space, holds the tension.

4. 《甜》

编舞：肖恩•霍塞尔

时长： 16 分钟

编曲：尼尤孔克

舞蹈的创作灵感源于肖恩的一项实验。在实验中他记录了人在决策过程中的大脑活动，这让他联想到感觉和人体肌肉之间的关系。肖恩将这支舞视为对于神经冲动、信息交换和肢体运动之间的一项研究。舞蹈诠释了肖恩的“沟通系统”这一概念，借此来展示肢体运动时的空间价值与能量共享。

Sweet

Choreographer: Shawn Hounsell

Run time: 16 mins

Music: Njo Kong Kie

The work was originally inspired by three voice overs which Mr. Hounsell recorded talking about the cerebral activity involved in any decision making process. This functioned for Mr. Hounsell as a metaphor for the cause and effect involved in kinesthetic activity. He saw the piece as a study in the relationship between impulse, movement and the exchange of information. The ballet dancers illustrate and beautifully create a system of communication which measures the value of space around physical actions and the sharing of energetic initiations.

5. 《面纱之下》

编舞： 达瑞尔 • 格兰德 • 莫尔特里

时长： 5 分钟

编曲：山姆 • 戴维斯

创作灵感来源于无数在城市环境中长大的年轻男女们由于面临许多挑战和阻碍而感到窒息和无望。这部作品旨在激励他们将注意力从困苦中转移出来，看到对他们而言存在的许多可能性。莫尔特里希望他们始终自问，“如果快乐的蓝知更鸟可以飞于彩虹之上，为什么我不能？”

Beyond The Veil

Choreographer ： Darrell Grand Moultrie

Run time: 5 mins

Music: Sammie Davis Jr.

Beyond The Veil was inspired by the countless young men and women who feel stifled and hopeless due to the challenges and obstacles they face growing up in urban environments. The work was created to inspire them to extend their vision beyond hardship and see the many doors of possibility for them. Moultrie wants them to always ask, “if happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow, why can’t I?

6. 《荒漠》

编舞：克里斯托夫 • 哈根斯

时长： 10 分钟

编曲：卓斯、阿历克斯、 萨瓦 • 罗姆

这部作品歌颂人类不朽的精神力量以及与不公作斗争的人们。“如干石无流水，如枯树无绿茵……人类的存在仿佛是一场幻觉，被人质疑。“——克里斯托夫•哈根斯

Wasteland

Choreographer: Christopher Huggins

Run time: 10 mins

Music: Jonsi & Alex and Savanj Rooms

This work celebrates the enduring strength of the human spirit and honors those who have resisted injustice. “Like a dry stone with no sound of running water; like a dead tree that gives no shelter…..the idea of existence is being questioned as if life itself is an illusion.” —Christopher Huggins.
