粤剧表演排场的数量及其影响因素探究

The Quantity of Cantonese Opera Performance Paichang and Its Influencing Factors

粤剧表演排场是指由固定的脚色行当、锣鼓点、音乐、唱腔、曲牌、身段、舞台调度组合而成,用来表现特定的情节或情境的表演片段。它所表现的情节或情境是程式化的,一般来说具有普遍的借鉴价值,通常可以被用于多个相同或相似的戏剧场面,但也有些是专戏专用。粤剧表演排场的数量是无法确定的,我们只能选取确定为“排场”的表演片段进行研究。由于外来剧种表演的传入和新剧目中“新排场”的影响,只要粤剧演出实践不停止,就势必会有新的排场产生。相反,有些不适合现代审美、不再有借用价值的排场会逐渐消失。对于新排场,我们应该以演出实践作为评判的标准,鼓励艺术家们发挥艺术创造力。

Cantonese opera performance Paichang refers to a combination of fixed roles,gongs and drums,music,singing,tunes,figures,and stage scheduling,describing a specific plot or situation.The plot or situation it presents is stylized,thus has universal reference value.It can be used in multiple identical or similar drama scenes,but some are dedicated to special dramas.As the number of Cantonese opera performances cannot be determined,we can only select the performance segments that are determined to be"samples"for research.Due to the introduction of foreign opera performances and the influence of the Paichang in the new repertoire,and as long as the practice of Cantonese opera performance exists,new Paichang is bound to emerge.On the other hand,the Paichang that is not suitable for modern aesthetics and without any borrowing value will gradually disappear.For the new Paichang,we should adopt performance practice as the criterion for judgment and inspire artists to exert their artistic creativity.
