中国现代戏剧教育初探:以“国剧运动”为中心

On Modern Chinese Drama Education:Focusing on the“National Drama Movement”

戏剧在中国现代早期经历了从传统到现代的历史性变革,这种变革又对中国现代教育尤其是戏剧教育的发生和发展起着重要的推动作用。作为中国现代戏剧变革中的一次尝试,“国剧运动”虽然因其不合时宜的“艺术至上”戏剧主张而匆匆退潮,但其倡导者们的一系列戏剧活动却有力地促进了我国现代戏剧教育的发展与成熟。本文将结合“国剧运动”倡导者们的戏剧活动探讨“国剧运动”对我国现代戏剧教育的影响,重点探讨北平艺术专科学校戏剧系等几个主要的现代戏剧教育机构所作的戏剧教育活动,并试图厘清“国剧运动”在推动中国现代教育尤其是戏剧教育中的历史价值。

Drama,as a literary genre,experienced a historic change from tradition to modernity in the early modern China,which played an important role in promoting the emergence and development of modern Chinese education,especially drama education.As an attempt in the transformation of modern Chinese drama,the“National Drama Movement”quickly ebbed due to its untimely drama proposition of“Art First”,but a series of drama activities by its advocates have effectively boosted the development and maturity of modern Chinese drama education.This paper will discuss the influence of“National Drama Movement”on modern drama education in China based on the advocates’drama activities,and investigate mainly the dramatic education activities launched by such institutions as Drama Department of Peking Art School,thus clarifying the historical value of“National Drama Movement”in promoting modern Chinese education,especially drama education.
