刚才那个作品叫 《曾有三个人》 (Once There Was III),

07:32
OK, Nina, I have a few questions for you.
13
452865
2336
妮娜,我有几个问题想问你。
07:35
I know that you don't always want to speak,
14
455243
2002
我知道你不是很想口头表达,
07:37
that your work speaks for itself.
15
457286
1627
因为你的作品足够表达它自己。
07:38
But nonetheless, thank you for joining me up here.
16
458913
2377
尽管如此,感谢你到舞台上加入我。
07:41
So you are a visual artist, a choreographer and an animator,
17
461290
3212
你是一个视觉艺术家、一个编舞师 和一个动画制作者,
07:44
and somehow you're bringing everything together.
18
464502
2503
而且你把所有这些融合到了一起。
07:47
What are you doing?
19
467046
1168
你在做什么?
07:48
You're blending technology and dance?
20
468214
1835
你在融合科技和舞蹈吗?
07:50
What's happening?
21
470091
1335
究竟是怎么一回事?
07:51
Nina McNeely: Yes.
22
471467
1168
妮娜·麦克尼利:是的。
07:52
I've always been intrigued by the human experience,
23
472635
3545
我一直惊叹于人类的经历,
07:56
the world of dreams
24
476222
1251
这个充满梦想的世界
07:57
and whatever may be lurking in the shadows of the subconscious mind.
25
477515
4796
和隐藏在潜意识里的各种。
08:02
So I use dance to tell stories about sisterhood
26
482353
3545
所以,我通过舞蹈来讲述 关于姐妹情、
08:05
and struggle and transcendence.
27
485940
2753
关于斗争、关于超越的故事。
08:08
And I combine that with live projection mapping
28
488693
3337
我将那些与实时立体投影结合在一起,
08:12
to create surrealist environments that I can shift in and out of quickly.
29
492030
4170
创造出我可以迅速进出的 超现实的环境。
08:16
So it feels just like a dream.
30
496200
1919
它感觉就像梦一样。
08:18
And it also allows me to create illusions
31
498494
3212
它还让我能创造
08:21
that the dancers are controlling the animations with their bodies.
32
501706
3295
舞者用身体控制动画的错觉。
08:25
HW: Tell us a little bit -- There's a lot of precision here.
33
505376
3504
HW:告诉我们一些—— 这儿有许多细节。
08:28
What's actually going on?
34
508880
1418
到底是怎么一回事?
08:30
NM: Well, this piece was actually commissioned
35
510757
2544
妮娜·麦克尼利:这其实是
08:33
by Entity Contemporary Dance in Los Angeles, as a film.
36
513342
3713
由洛杉矶的实体现代舞 (Entity Contemporary Dance) 定制的电影。
08:37
And this is the first time it's ever been performed live.
37
517096
2753
这是它第一次现场直播演出。
08:39
HW: First time.
38
519891
1793
HW:第一次!
08:41
Oh, my God, that's so awesome.
39
521726
1793
天呐,这太棒了。
08:45
NM: So my process always starts with music.
40
525271
2252
妮娜:我的创作过程 总是由音乐开始。
08:47
Music is like a psychedelic to me,
41
527523
2586
音乐对我来说像迷幻剂一样,
08:50
so I'm always searching for music that's going to take me
42
530151
2753
所以我一直在寻找能把我带上
08:52
on the most imaginative journey possible.
43
532904
2335
最有想象力的旅途的音乐。
08:55
And then I envision the piece, I set the choreography on the dancers,
44
535573
4713
然后我想象出了这个舞蹈, 我对着舞者编舞,
09:00
I shoot that choreography, usually with my phone,
45
540328
3003
我常用手机拍舞蹈,
09:03
and then I bring that into my animation software.
46
543331
4045
然后把它放到动画软件里。
09:07
I create the animations,
47
547376
1752
我制作出动画,
09:09
then we get back in the studio and combine the two together,
48
549170
3295
然后我们回到工作室, 把两者结合到一起,
09:12
which actually takes hours and hours of trial and error.
49
552507
3086
这当中有不断的尝试和错误。
09:15
And I heavily rely on the impeccable music timing of my dancers
50
555927
5338
我大量依赖我的舞者 对于音乐时间无可挑剔的把控
09:21
and their talent and precision.
51
561307
1877
以及他们的天赋和精确度。
09:23
HW: They're amazing.
52
563226
1167
HW:他们非常棒。
09:24
So I love that you brought up music.
53
564435
1752
我很喜欢你用了音乐。
09:26
Tell us about the music that we just heard.
54
566187
2044
分享一些关于我们听到的音乐吧。
09:28
NM: So this music was composed by an artist named umru
55
568272
2920
妮娜:音乐是由一个叫 昂姆如 (Umru) 的艺术家编写的,
09:31
with a feature by another artist named warpstr.
56
571234
3086
其中一些特色是另一位艺术家 沃普斯特 (Warpstr) 创作的。
09:34
And I found umru’s music on SoundCloud around five years ago
57
574320
4379
我在大概五年前在声云 (Sound Cloud) 上发现了昂姆如 (Umru) 的音乐,
09:38
and was just blown away by his use of these visceral, crunchy sounds
58
578741
4380
我叹服于他对于这些震撼人心的 清脆音效的运用,
09:43
combined with these angelic vocal samples.
59
583162
3003
再加上天使般的歌声。
09:46
And I really loved that his music sounded both ancient and futuristic
60
586207
4296
我非常喜欢他的音乐 听起来复古又充满未来感。
09:50
at the same time.
61
590545
1334
09:51
So I started choreographing to his music in my dance class,
62
591879
2795
我根据他的音乐 在我的舞蹈班里开始了编舞,
09:54
and we started talking on Instagram,
63
594715
1752
我们在Instagram上聊天,
09:56
and the collaboration was born.
64
596509
2002
合作就是这样开始的。
09:59
HW: So this session is all about imagination.
65
599178
3420
HW:所以这个舞蹈全是关于想象。
10:02
Tell us a little bit about your creative process
66
602598
2628
跟我们讲讲你的创作过程
10:05
and how imagination clearly plays into that.
67
605268
2586
以及想象力如何成为 其中重要的一部分的。
10:08
NM: So at this point in my career as an artist,
68
608604
2253
妮娜:我现在的职业是一个艺术家,
10:10
I've decided to just let my influences flow into me without question,
69
610898
4296
我决定让我的影响 不经质疑地进入我的脑海,
10:15
even if they're not on trend or unpopular.
70
615236
3045
即使它们不流行不热门。
10:18
And this music really struck me with these visions
71
618322
3254
这个音乐以它的宗教图腾画面 给我这个在天主教教堂长大的人,
10:21
of the religious iconography I was exposed to
72
621617
3045
10:24
growing up in the Catholic Church.
73
624704
1793
留下了深刻的印象,
10:26
And because of my Mexican and Filipino heritage,
74
626873
2836
由于我的墨西哥和菲律宾血统,
10:29
that imagery was intense,
75
629750
2711
那样的画面更有冲击力,
10:32
a little bloody and dramatic.
76
632503
2544
有点血腥和夸张。
10:35
(Laughs)
77
635047
1168
(笑声)
10:36
And I just remember being surrounded by these paintings and figurines
78
636591
5088
我只记得我被环绕在 这些图画和雕像中间,
10:41
whose faces expressed such sorrow and piety and ecstasy.
79
641679
5547
它们的脸表现出这样的 悲恸、虔诚和狂喜。
10:47
And I just remember being completely awestruck
80
647226
2336
我记得它们的美丽与黑暗 让我完全沉浸在敬畏中,
10:49
and put in the state of pure, childlike wonderment
81
649562
3211
把我放在如孩童般纯洁的惊异中。
10:52
by their beauty and darkness.
82
652815
2086
10:54
And it's my greatest desire to recreate that experience
83
654942
3587
重塑出这样的经历并 与世界分享成了我最大的愿望。
10:58
and share it with the world.
84
658529
1460
11:00
HW: Well, you sure did that.
85
660406
1376
HW:你当然做到了。
11:01
Nina McNeely, thank you so much.
86
661782
1669
妮娜·麦克尼利,衷心感谢你。
11:03
NM: Thank you.
87
663492
1168
妮娜:谢谢。
11:04
(Applause)
88
664660
3587
(鼓掌)
