The Continuity And Breaking Of The Drama Stage

Since the 1960 s,postmodernism has emerged in Western theatre.Postmodernism originated from modernism and then rebelled against itself.Due to the multiple value orientations and non-center consciousness of postmodernism,its evaluation criteria is vague and uncertain so it is both rebellious and fresh.This trend of thought has also had an important impact on the theory and practice of contemporary drama in our country,and it is characterized by diversification,cross-boundary and combination in art form.Behind the coherent forms in the presentation of theatrical stage is the renewal and development of theatrical art.Through three chapters,starting from the theory,and referring to the overall development trend of contemporary drama,this thesis analyzes the structure,content,character conflict of the script of The Path not Chosen,and discusses the coherence of characteristics in the presentation.Chapter One: Expounding the coherence and breakage in stage presentation based on the theory.The disintegration of "synthesis" by post-modern drama theory.The non-linearity and collage characteristics of drama have become the theoretical basis for the coherence and breakage of the drama stage.Second,the grasp of the rhythm of the drama.The coherence in the presentation of theatrical stage is inseparable from the creator’s grasp of the drama’s rhythm,among which "pause" plays an important role as a common way used by the creator."Play within a play" and the method of alienation.The dramatic structure of "play within a play" is a typical example of coherence in the presentation of theatrical stage,while the "defamiliarization effect" is a strong support for coherence in the presentation of theatrical stage.From the above three aspects,it expounds the morphological performance and theoretical support of coherence in the presentation of contemporary theatrical stage.Chapter Two: Expounds the coherence and breakage in the stage presentation of the campus drama "The Path not Chosen".Regarding the overall creative conception of "The Path not Chosen",it is expounded from six aspects: structure,theme,lines,characters,stage conception,and comprehensive artistic element processing.Combining theory to explain the coherence in the stage presentation of "The Path not Chosen",the stage creation is based on the coherence and integrity of the story itself.Combining the theory to explain the breakthrough in the stage presentation of "The Path not Chosen".,the breakthrough in the stage presentation is achieved by changing the scene without turning off the lights,physical expression and adding special designs.Chapter Three: Reflects on campus drama practice,opinions of a balance should be found between coherence and break.Under the general development trend of contemporary drama,new modern audiences have formed new aesthetic expectations.Creators need to pay attention to these new phenomena when creating works.They need to be clearheaded when creating works,and need to explore and seek innovation to promote Drama to move forward.
