从“三十而立”到“四十不惑”——新时代十年小剧场戏剧发展刍议

From“Independent at Thirty”to“Life Begins at Forty”:On the Development of Small Theater over the Past Ten Years in the New Era

如何找到小剧场戏剧与这个时代观众的生存经验、现实关切的对话方式,如何在主题表达、个性表达、探索实验、商业运作等多样化的创作诉求中寻找到最适合的路径与彼此平衡的交汇点,这些既是新时代十年小剧场戏剧发展面临的挑战,也是具有中国特色的小剧场戏剧发展之路需要不断研究的课题。新时代的小剧场戏剧,一方面应进一步巩固好自身既有的品格,另一方面也要在新媒介、新受众不断发生变化的新的演艺环境中,主动应变、善于求变,从创作的观念、立意、剧本等核心环节协调好实验与实用的关系,真正让小剧场戏剧成为戏剧美学创新、人才孵化的动力源,让观众通过小剧场戏剧感受到时代最鲜活的气息、心灵最真实的表达。

How to find a dialogue between small theater and the survival experience and practical concerns of the audience in this era,and how to find the most suitable path and mutually balanced intersection in diverse creative demands such as theme expression,personality expression,exploration experiments,and commercial operations,these are not only the challenges faced by the development of small theater over the past ten years in the new era,but also the topics that need to be continuously studied for the development of small theater with Chinese characteristics.In the new era small theater need to consolidate its existing character.It is also necessary to actively adapt and be good at seeking change in the new media and audience constantly changing performance environment.It is good to coordinate the relationship between experimentation and practicality from the core aspects of creative concepts,ideas,and scripts,so as to let small theater become the foundation for aesthetic innovation and talent incubation,and let the audience feel the freshest atmosphere of the times and the most authentic expression of human nature through small theater.
