论中国古典舞作品《七步》的表演手段

Performing Means of Chinese Classic Dance Seven Step

中国古典舞表演擅长人物形象的塑造,但又不同于戏剧的表演。戏剧表演是通过生活化的语言、表情、动作来表现的;而舞蹈则是通过节律化的身体动态动势,表现出人物内心的情感,达到传情达意、感动观众的目的。作品《七步》正是把历史上大家耳熟能详的故事,表述为情节事件展开时空;而把舞蹈人物的"心理时空"通过细密的手法处理,让它外化,呈现出内心世界。在这个作品的情节展开过程中,我们联想到人物所产生的内心活动(包括回忆、幻觉、潜意识等),并以直观的舞蹈样式外化出来,而这个外化出来的意象,就是我们常常认识到的,表演中的最重要的表现方式之一,也是刻画舞蹈人物性格、揭示人物深层情感的关键手段之一。

Different from drama ill creating characters by speech, face and movement, Chinese classic dance has its own way. It shows inner motion by rhythmically body trends and momentum for the purpose to touch audience. Seven Steps is just the work using a well-known story to develop space-time showing mentally space-time though detailed skills. When the plot was developing, we can imagine what charaeter~ thinking about （ including memory ; hallucination ; subconscious） formed as visual dance type. This frank image is one of most important of manifestation modes, which we can realize; also, one of keys to mould characters and deep motion.
