现场表演中影像的交互性

Image Interactivity in Live Performance

20世纪20年代后,大量影像介入现场表演,极大丰富了剧场艺术的表现手段。但一些戏剧家认为:影像是无法与现场观众和演员进行实时交流的视觉"异物",会使戏剧失去其自身的独特性。为了将影像抵御在剧场门外,他们倡导以身体交流为主的质朴表演形式,提出了在场、实时和交互的现场表演理论。其实,影像与现场表演之间不是相互抵触、彼此对立的,而是相互影响、彼此增进的。交互性影像参与现场表演、重构戏剧时空、营造沉浸体验,创建了影像与现场表演的新型互动关系,改变了戏剧表演、观演和创作的方式,重新定义了戏剧表演的现场性、交互性和叙事语汇,形成了一种新的现场表演美学观念。

Images have been used in live performance since the 1920 s,greatly enriching the means of theatrical art.However,some theatre professionals believed that image is a visual"foreign matter"that fails to have any real-time communication with audience or actors,resulting in the loss of theatre’s uniqueness.In order to resist the use of image,they advocated the simple form of performance which lays emphasis on body communication,and proposed an on-site,realtime and interactive live performance theory.In fact,the use of images does not contradict live performance.Rather,the two influence and enhance each other.Working as part of live performance,interactive images can reconstruct theatre time and space and give immersive experience,so that they help to create new interactions between images and live performance,change the way of performing,watching and creating,redefine the performance in front of a live audience,its interactivity and narrative language,and contribute to new aesthetics of live performance.
