本課程以中西劇場歷史方為主要授課內容。課程前半段以中國戲曲為授課內容，從初級戲曲的原始面貌以至當代戲曲如何與當代劇場美學結合。戲曲作為一種跨領域的綜合性表演，最大特色在於詩歌舞結合，並以抒情為本位；敷演情節之外，更重視情感的抒發並藉以引起觀眾共鳴。此外，戲曲特有的行當制（如：生旦淨末丑）、寫意性的表現手法（如：一桌二椅）以及結合各類表演藝術（唱曲、雜耍、科諢等）的豐富型態，都是其動人的特色與內涵。本課程將帶領同學理解中國戲劇的起源、發展與變化，以及不同時期的戲劇作品及劇場表現形式。希望能透過戲劇史的勾勒奠定學生相關的知識基礎，一方面能理解各個時期的戲劇特色，或者也可能在觀看與對話的過程中累積與觸動未來創作上的能量與靈感。
後半段課程聚焦於探索西洋戲劇發展歷程，以及其中具有代表性的表演形式和知名創作。課程之目標有三：一、引導學生深入鑑識西方各種表演形式之間的連結。二、開發學生對西方劇場的問題意識和研究向度。三、帶領學生析究西方劇場之藝術性和美學底蘊。This course focuses on the history of Chinese and Western theater. The first half of the course uses Chinese opera as the teaching content, from the original appearance of elementary opera to how contemporary opera is combined with contemporary theater aesthetics. As a cross-disciplinary comprehensive performance, the biggest feature of opera is the combination of poetry and dance, and it is based on lyricism. In addition to performing plots, it pays more attention to the expression of emotions and to arouse the resonance of the audience. In addition, opera’s unique industry system (such as Shengdan Jingmo Chou), freehand expression techniques (such as one table and two chairs), and rich forms that combine various performing arts (singing, juggling, science, etc.) , are all its moving features and connotations. This course will lead students to understand the origin, development and changes of Chinese drama, as well as drama works and theater expressions in different periods. It is hoped that through the outline of the history of drama, students can lay a foundation of relevant knowledge. On the one hand, they can understand the characteristics of drama in various periods, or they may also accumulate and touch energy and inspiration for future creation in the process of viewing and dialogue.
The second half of the course focuses on exploring the development of Western drama, as well as its representative performance forms and famous creations. The course has three goals: 1. To guide students to gain an in-depth understanding of the connections between various Western performance forms. 2. Develop students’ problem awareness and research perspective on Western theater. 3. Lead students to analyze the artistic and aesthetic heritage of Western theater.
