美国表演“方法”派在中戏的实践和拓展

Practice and Adaptation of the Method in the Training in the Central Academy of Drama

本文探讨美国表演“方法”派在中国的实践 ,以及在其基础上做的一些拓展。文章中提供了一些导表演教学的新方法 ,以丰富现有的教学手段。以下这些在中央戏剧学院课堂中创造出来的新练习 ,灵感大多来源于美国戏剧教育家李·斯特拉斯伯格“方法”派的精神。这些新练习包括 :“感觉”、“强化规定情景”、“古诗词节奏练习”、“物品想象变形练习”、“精神的化妆”。希望这些练习能够帮助我们的演员和导演解决在我们舞台上长期存在的表演虚假、公式化等问题。

This paper written in response to what currently seems to be a lack of available new theatrical methods for training and directing in China, discusses the development of American “Method' acting in the country. The techniques outlined below utilize “Method' as derived from the Strasberg approach, as well as novel creations based on “Method' training classes undertaken at The Central Academy of Drama in Beijing, including the training of “sense,' the highlighting of “given situations,' the “rhythm' of Tang/Song poetry, the transformation of “imaginary objects,' and “Spiritual Makeup.' It is hoped that the introduction of these techniques will provide budding actors/directors and old stage hands alike with new approaches to longstanding theater issues in China.
