川剧老艺术家口述史(成都卷)之晓艇篇

Artist Xiao Fang-Series of the Oral History of Sichuan Opera by Old Artists(Chengdu Volume)

川剧是我国西南地区影响最大、艺术积累最为丰富的地方剧种。川剧在三百年来的发展过程中涌现出了一大批优秀的表演艺术家和优秀的剧目。新中国的建立,使川剧艺术进入了一个新的发展时期:艺术人才培养、剧目舞台演出方式、剧团体制及生存环境都发生了根本性的变化,创造了川剧发展史上的新高峰。然而长期以来,研究者虽然对一些老的川剧表演艺术家的表演艺术经验作了一些总结,但对川剧表演艺术家们艺术人生的总结却不够重视或者关注不够。许多川剧老艺术家的"看家法宝"、演出经验与人生体验没有来得及总结,便匆匆离开了我们。如川剧表演老艺术家阳友鹤、晓舫、竞华、周企何等相继谢世。抢救他们丰富的人生感悟和表演绝技已刻不容缓。以成都大学与成都市川剧院联合组成的成都市文化事业建设项目《川剧老艺术家口述史(成都卷)》课题,即对成都市川剧院已经退休的三十余位老川剧艺术家采用现场采访、口述、笔录、录音、录像等方式,将他们的表演经验,曲目改进的设想,人生的感悟,以及对川剧未来发展与对后生培育的希望,用"实录"的方式保存下来,以进行比较全面、深入的研究和思考。课题的最终完成将形成一本专著和十余张DVD光盘:《川剧老艺术家口述史(成都卷)》。为振兴川剧、繁荣四川文艺,推动《非物质文化遗产保护法》视野下四川省非物质文化遗产保护工作的深入开展,从本期起,本刊将陆续发表该口述史中的部分老艺术家访谈,以飨读者。

And during the 300 years of the development process of Sichuan Opera, there emerged a large number of outstanding performing artists and excellent plays. However, for a long time the art life of the old Sichuan Opera performing artists such as Yang Youhe, Xiao Fang, Jing Hua, Zhou Qihe, etc. and the summary of their performing experience have not been paid enough attention to till they left us. So it is imperative to rescue their wealth of insights on life and performance skills.
