Literature And Theatricality Of Contemporary Experimental Theatres In China

From the way of existence and dissemination,experimental Theater is comparedwith the traditional grand theater.The most obvious feature of experimental theater isperforming in a small space,the actors nearing the audience,which is largely relative tothe traditional theater.From the origin of drama,experimental Theater appeared in Europe first.Early20th century,it came to China.Song Chunfang,Xu Banmei and some others translatedand introduced western dramas.In1921,Wang Youyou puts forward the ideasof“amateur”,at the aim of against the capitalists controlling content and form of theplay by box office.Tian Han,Ouyang Yuqian,Hong shen also developed Chineseexperimental theaters in Nanguo Club.In1926,Yu Shangyuan launched “national operamovement”,which emphasis on the subjectivity of dramatic art, and called for a reviewon traditional opera.In this effort, normal and experimental theaters had a rapidconvergence.In1930`s,the left wing drama movement subject to radical class struggleand the need of publicity revolution."Grand theater" was getting stronger.After1950`s,Chinese experimental theaters vanished for political reasons.Until the1980s,Chinese theater launched a large-scale debate,experimental theater was comingback.The next year,“The absolute signal”staged in Beijing people’s Art Theatre.Theythought out the ideas of new exploration and interpretation,brought into play stageassumption,persued the diversity and flexibility of performance practices.However,the serious consequence caused from the debate was only concerningwith innovative forms rather than on theatrical drama cores.Hence,"general-literary"and "anti-literary" had become prominent issues of experimental theaters later. According to growth process of Chinese experimental theater,it is a veryimportant part in the whole history of Chinese dramas.My paper is going toconcentrate on the shifting of literature and Theatricality of ContemporaryExperimental Theaters.Drama and literature are closely related.Learners andresearchers can not simply focus on performance but Ignore text.Researchers need torely on theatrical drama script to analyze the spirit and theme of content, as well asperformance style and stage settings.The script is just a preliminary stage of completedramatic works,"literary" also involves interpretation of various angles, dramatictheatrical creations to complete the whole stuff."Literary" weaken and diluted, in fact, is the process of literary turning tonon-literary.With literary expanding in scope, the extent and depth is reducing.Therefore, we call "literary" of postmodern dramatic theory "generalization" or even"dilution",which is more accurate.In the development process of Chinesecontemporary theaters, with theatricality strengthening,literary and theater become acomplex relationship.But diluting too much will be "removed literary"."Removedliterary" is divided into two levels: One is that, theater technical status gradually haveimproved, lighting, choreography, costumes, makeup, props and other theaterperformance techniques reach a higher level, and obscured the importance ofscripts.Second is that, people shift design and create an atmosphere of theater as a toppriority.Of course,"removed literary"also has some positive effects,which is derivedfrom other art forms, such as musicals, theater and other limbs.Today Chinese experimental theaters seem surging, but almost single theme.Thesubjects are monotonous.It hides a great crisis.Monotonous work makes the audiencelose interest in experimental theaters,so commercial and cultural industries strandbreaks-this is a vicious circle. Therefore, we should vigorously expand drama themes.Theater is the place where a variety of art forms are combined to produce awonderful effect.Theatricality is a way to influence the audience, the field strengthwith artistic intensity, it figures to show emotion, shape characters, advance the plotdevelopment as the core, desire, conflict and dramatic action as the basis for setting the stage lighting, sound, stage clothes into external means, set technology, art, thought asa whole, form a complementary relationship with other property playing an objectiveproperty.if the scene could meet the need of theater,the limited space of the stage willbe able to maximize the spiritual core of the secondary theater, the theater is full ofpoetic but also has a real sense of provides workplace reality.Therefore, whetherhumanities or natural theatricality of theaters, has to create a situation to advance theplot development, shaping the character and performance of theatrical theme as astarting point, subject to the needs of the whole drama.Successful stage and the theater will be showing a personal style.First, the theaterhas a sense of space.In a small theater,the distance between stage and auditorium isintimate,overly ambitious dramatic structure, events leads and confused over the stagelayout will look more oppression cramped space, the audience has no way to breath.Sothere are more emotional affinity fate works in small theaters.The work do not focuson the performance of the grand scenes and intense plot, but listens inner voice actor,sincere feelings and subtle.Secondly, the theater has a dynamic sense ofcommunication.The actors and the audience should communication in shows,including applause, sadly, laughter, tears, fear, etc. Theatricality is what theater isdifferent from a simple text.The audience is also a party to the participants, theyentered the theater to enjoy the situation of the state, which is also an important aspectof theater.Three,theatricality can create an illusion,which can be divided into thecontent and form of theater resistance,mainly reflected in the tone of the whole play tomaneuver.Finally, the theater has to comply with the rules.Therefore, the performanceof the theater is to understand the premise of Liberal rule Dramatic Art.InterpretationTheatricality mainly reflects in the actors’ performances and theatrical style socialfunction.Small theater appears: on the one hand it shows these techniques leadperformers continues to mature, on the other hand it shows theater creatorsincreasingly weaken creativity and imagination.Presumptive is the difference between art and the objective characteristics andproperties of the true state, specifically in the theater becomes an abstract, virtual environment and performing style.Presumptive stage makes theatrical stage anunprecedented "new" feature through symbolism, absurd, stream of consciousness,alienation, deformation, heart externalization, dance and other artistic.At thattime,extensive use of presumptive stage and the classic hypothetical made theater entera good period of development.A different director and stage design will create adifferent style of work.Different directors and performers team can create differentcharacteristics depending on the theater’s creative concept.Even with the same script,the same team of people will create a different form of work-this is the "centerdirector system" decision.Director of artistic spirit, execution and artistic director ofthe development of drama taste play very important roles, but also for provide aneffective learning model for the younger directors.Because of experimental theaters have formed a pattern of elements, to someextent,they should seek a breakthrough innovation in the forms."Drama derivatives" isan important finding.In addition, the theater is an important part of people’s livelihood, it can affect thecity’s style and temperament.In Chinese territory of drama, there is a very unevendevelopment of various provinces. Whether it is good screenplay or novel forms ofdrama, classic works concentrate in a few urban areas, a few theaters, and even adirector.So, drawing a Chinese urban drama territory is good for investors to analysisdevelopment of theaters in urban areas, but also is easy to search dramainformation.Contemporary experimental theaters in China have so much room fordevelopment.You can play in different areas of cultural industries developmentresources according to your characteristics.What is important is that,literature andtheater do not have to split up, literature can be used as an auxiliary power,furtherpromote and facilitate the development of theatrical market in China.
