In the Beginning there was Funk
The Creator of Locking Speaks
In the beginning there was Funk.
And man saw that the Funk was good, so he
learned how to appreciate it. He learned that the Funk was an instigator of
motion and emotion.
So man learned how to harvest it and soon the land was
filled with its influence. A divine force showed man that every groove was
in-tuned with the Funk and thus mankind began his quest to find the Funk & learn
the secrets of how the soul was affected by it so. Hence, when the world was
ready, one man emerged as the original translator of the music. Wrought by the
genius of pure fate, a new era of dance was born as the masses looked on with
innocent wonder. Few have understood it. Few have grasped its intricate design.
But countless are whose passion for the dance has kept it alive with the
realization that Locking was the first, true interpretation of Funk music.
一开始只是乡土爵士乐(Funk)
Locking创始人说
一开始只有Funk。
这个人觉得Funk挺不错,于是他学会了如何去欣赏它。他了解到,Funk是舞蹈动作和情感的一种煽动。因此,他学着去丰富它的内容,而且很快就在这块领域上有很大影响力。一种神圣的力量让这个人意识到每一个音乐节奏都与协调得天衣无缝从而让人类开始寻求和学习影响灵魂的奥秘。于是,当这个世界准备好了,有一个人成为了这音乐最先的推广者。有天才创造的纯洁命运,一种新时代的舞蹈就在群众无辜的怀疑中诞生了。尽管很少有人能理解它,很少有人能掌握其复杂的设计,但人们对舞蹈无穷无尽的热情使它存活并对Locking有着最初,最真的认识。
When I met Don Campbell, my mind was like a canvas painted with dull, bland
colors that resembled the hues of a dreary day. But Don's emphasis on character
expression and spontaneous dance creativity made me discover the reason why I
had failed at Locking. I had never learned that the true beauty of the dance
lies in pure improvisation, not a series of pre-planned, sequenced dance moves.
Soon after applying what methods he taught me, my canvas was colored with the
bright, exciting colors of inspiration. Ever since, my painting has been taking
form and its structure can be attributed to the simplistic genius of this man. I
could write a book on our conversations alone, but this month I choose to
address questions that have been lingering in today's most popular Internet
dance forums. The greatest enemy that we sometimes face is the lack of
communication. So the purpose of this article is to address these issues by
allowing the creator of the dance to answer them in his own words. Don
Campbell's words are shown in bold print and they have been shortened to expose
the core of the statement.
我遇到 Don Campbell 时,我的心情还像涂着沉闷、乏味色彩的画布,就像枯燥无味色调的一天。但唐对个性的表达及对舞蹈自发性创造的重视,使我明白为什么我学不好Locking。我从来没有意识到,舞蹈真正的魅力在于纯粹的即兴,而不是一连串预先设计好的,按顺序的舞蹈。我照着他教的方法做后,很快,我的画布就涂满了明亮、令人兴奋色彩的充满灵感的颜色。从那时起,我的画一直在构形,而它的结构形式全归因于这个人简单化的天赋。我能独自写一本关于我们会谈的书,但这个月我想先去解决现在在最流行的舞蹈网站上,
那些论坛上久久不能消释的问题。有时候,我们面临的最大敌人是缺乏交流。所以,本文的目的是处理这些问题:让这个舞蹈的创始者用自己的话来回答他们的问题。Don Campbell的话语用粗体字显示,并已缩简在文章的核心处发表。
Interview with Don Campbell: October 23, 2001.
2001年10月23号,与Don Campbell的采访
Don, what led you to discover Locking?
唐,是什么让你发现了Locking?
Well, it all really came out of me trying to do other popular dances of the
time...I had a way of locking into my moves. That was my thing, I went into it
without really noticing it. Then a close friend of mine (Sam Williams) brought
it to my attention. He said to me one day, "keep doing that lock Campbell!" so I
did. Everything I did started to involve this lock...
是这样子的,我真的花了很多时间去尝试其他流行舞蹈,在我的舞步中,我找到了一种LOCKING的方。很自然地,我去做它但没有真正注意它。然后我的好朋友(Sam Williams)将它带入我的视线。有一天,他告诉我,“不要停止LOCK, CAMPBELL!”于是我就这样做了。我开始做任何事情都融入了lock
Some feel as if the dance called the Funky Chicken was what you were trying to
do when you invented the Lock, is that true?
有些人好像认为你尝试的Funky Chicken舞蹈是当你发明了Lock的时候,这是真的吗?
No man, the Funky Chicken had nothing to do with me developing the Lock. It was
just something I had incorporated within my dance...I kinda' added it into what
ever I was trying to do at the time…
不是的,Funky Chicken对我发展Lock没有任何帮助。它只是融入了我的舞蹈。我只是加了一些我曾经尝试的一些舞蹈动作。
Who influenced your dance style while in it's premature stage?
谁对你的早期舞蹈风格产生了影响?
