Ablaze with Color!
As the ancient Chinese ancestors explored the mysteries of the universe, the Five Elements (Wuxing) theory—centered on Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water—was born. These five elements, drive the creation and transformation of all things. Corresponding to the five elements are the five colors—Green, Red, Yellow, White, and Black— which infuse vibrancy into the humbleness of daily life. These colors encapsulate the essence of all creation. Over centuries of cultural evolution, they have formed a uniquely enchanting Chinese “palette.”
The Phoenix Chinese Dance Academy’s annual production show, “Ablaze with Color”, draws its inspiration from these five color families, seamlessly blending them with China’s rich traditions, cultural customs, and historical heritage. Through an array of dynamic dance forms and stunning costume designs, this production presents audiences with a vivid and deeply evocative visual experience, bringing to life a stage that radiates with color and profound meaning.
泱泱国色
中华先祖在对宇宙规律的探索中,孕育出了以木、火、土、金、水为核心的五行思想体系。这五种元素相生相克,变化无穷,推动万物的生成与发展。青、红、黄、白、黑五色对五行,互为表里,装点了万千世界,蕴含了万物特性;既有烟火之趣,更有庄严之美。历经千百年沉淀,形成了独具风格的中国色。
凤凰中国舞蹈学校年度公演《泱泱国色》以这五大色系为灵感,将其与中华传统文化思想、历史民俗相融合;通过多样的舞蹈形式与华美的服饰设计,展示大国的非凡气度与情怀,为观众呈现一个色彩斑斓、意境深邃的舞台盛宴。
