汉唐舞蹈剧场中的数字交互实践

Integration of Digital Interaction into the Dance Theatre of the Han and Tang Dynasties

舞蹈剧场是20世纪70年代以来,随电子与媒体社会形态的确立而出现的一种新的剧场形式。其围绕“剧场性”,展开着不同元素的话语形式—肢体、声音、装置、光影、多媒体投影等各跨界剧场元素。它们被同时调用,为剧场服务。汉唐舞蹈剧场是以汉唐舞蹈风格为主体形态,在打破传统舞蹈作品创作模式的基础上,将“跨界”“交互”“多元”“媒介语言”等运用到剧场表达中。汉唐舞蹈剧场的数字交互实践,伴随《俑》系列(包括《俑》《俑Ⅱ》《俑Ⅲ》)剧场舞蹈作品及其他以汉唐舞形态为主体的行浸剧场、开放性空间等作品(如《元》《宇宙手谈》等)的生发而展开。在一次次创作排演过程中,不断介入、升级、丰富舞者与媒介之间的数字化关系及其“交互设计”,从而赋予作品新的意义。文章以汉唐舞蹈剧场中的交互设计为研究对象,从传统舞蹈的多元面向切入,展开传统舞蹈中数字交互实践的新话题,旨在探讨如何在当代中国舞蹈剧场创作中,创造性地运用数字交互技术与交互设计。

Digitally interactive dance theatre is a new form of theatre that has emerged since the 1970s thanks to the development of technology and media.It puts onstage different elements of discourse,integrating body,sound,installations,light,shadow,multimedia projection,and other cross-field elements through technological augmentation of a theatre piece.“Dance Theatre of the Han and Tang Dynasties”uses said techniques to pivot around the Han and Tang Dynasties’dance styles,breaking the shackles of traditional dance creation to unleash the power of these tech-driven cross-field interactions for the richness of theatre discourse.This has been evidenced in the multimedia presentation of staged renditions of the Terracotta Warriors(including The Terracotta WarriorsⅡ,The Terracotta WarriorsⅢ)and other immersive theatre and open areas works(including Yuan and Universe Chess-play),where digital and immersive theatre techniques converged to create something heightened and entirely new.This paper,based on the interaction design of the“Dance Theatre of the Han and Tang Dynasties”,discusses the implementation of digital interaction in traditional dance.Its intention is to shed some light on how to creatively integrate digital interaction technologies and interaction design into contemporary dance theatre creation.
