JUDY WOODRUFF: Alonzo King is a visionary choreographer who is altering the way we look at dance. Born in Georgia to civil rights activist parents, King found his own form of expression through the language of movement, and ultimately went on to found Alonzo King LINES Ballet, a San Francisco-based dance company. Tonight, he gives his Brief But Spectacular take on life and movement. It is part of our arts and culture series, Canvas.
ALONZO KING, Founder, Alonzo King LINES Ballet: I see everything as movement. I think movement and sound is everywhere. If you think of the Big Bang Theory, what came first, motion, vibration, sound? They're the same. My parents were civil rights leaders in Albany. My father was president of the Albany Movement. He was very close friends with Malcolm X. They traveled together. The impact that my parents had on me was watching people who actually lived what they preached. And that was intimidating and inspiring. As a kid, my father introduced me to yoga. That had a huge impact on me. It is also curious, the idea of the East-West merger. And in terms of civil rights, it was Martin Luther King and that relationship with Gandhi and nonviolence, and that power of love was much more powerful than enmity or violence. And so that taught me later about the balancing act that's needed between left brain and right brain. Do I think all children have a relationship with movement? There's something about the children that catches the whirls -- W-H-I-R-L-S -- of motion that are happening. You always see children, whether they have even seen one or not, they play airplane. They go on the axis. They go out on the circle. And so there's these currents that exist internally and externally. When you plunge into the heart of movement, the outer world dims, because you're so in the moment and everything else becomes peripheral. When you think about dance, often, too often, people think of it as not being a language, but it is a language. Music is thought made audible. Dance is thought made visible. And so music and movement or sound and vibration, they are the same. My name is Alonzo King, and this is my Brief But Spectacular take on life and movement.
JUDY WOODRUFF: A nice thing to hear at the end of this day. And you can see all of our Brief But Spectacular episodes at PBS.org/NewsHour/Brief.

朱迪·伍德乐夫:阿朗佐·金是一位富有远见的编舞家,他改变了我们对舞蹈的看法
。金出生于乔治亚州,父母都是民权活动人士 。他通过运动语言找到了自己的表达方式,并最终在旧金山成立了阿隆佐·金芭蕾舞团 。今晚,他向我们展示了他“短暂却精彩”的生命和运动 。本集是我们的艺术和文化系列,Canvas 。阿隆佐·金,阿隆佐·金芭蕾舞团创始人:我把一切都看成是运动,我认为运动和声音无处不在
。如果你想想《生活大爆炸》理论,最先出现的是什么,运动,振动,声音?他们是相同的 。我的父母是奥尔巴尼的民权领袖 。我父亲是奥尔巴尼运动的主席,他和马尔科姆·艾克斯是非常亲密的朋友,他们会一同旅行 。父母对我的影响就是看着那些真正按照他们所宣扬的去生活的人,这是令人生畏和鼓舞的 。当我还是个孩子的时候,我父亲就把瑜伽介绍给了我,这对我有很大的影响 。东西方合并的想法也很奇怪 。在民权方面,是马丁·路德·金和甘地以及非暴力的关系,爱的力量比仇恨或暴力更强大 。这也教会了我如何平衡左脑和右脑 。我认为所有的孩子都和运动有关系,孩子们总能捕捉到正在发生的旋转运动 。你总能看到孩子们,不管他们有没有看到,在玩飞机 。它们在轴上,他们走到圆圈上 。所以这些电流存在于内部和外部 。当你投入运动的中心时,外部世界变得模糊,因为你沉浸在当下,其他一切都变得无足轻重 。当你想到舞蹈的时候,人们常常认为它不是一种语言,但它确实是一种语言 。音乐被认为是可听见的,舞蹈被认为是可见的 。所以音乐和运动,声音和振动,都是一样的 。我的名字是阿隆佐·金,这是我对生命和运动的“短暂却精彩”的描述 。朱迪·伍德乐夫:在结束这一天之前听到这些真的很棒
