Stage art to innovation, development, this is be beyond all doubt, but how to innovation and development are worthy of further study and discussion. In recent years, the opera stage " big production" be raging like a storm, row a motionless million, more than half of the funds used in the stage, the starting point or the majority of colleagues to stage art innovation and development, but also caused the personage inside course of study of a lot of scale disease. I'm not against " big production", but " big " to "big ". Admittedly, many drama " big production" is successful on the whole. They make full use of modern high-tech means, such as computer animation, computer light projection scenery, laser light, dry ice, computer, microphone mixer ( headset, thoracic wheat ) and various acoustic, optical, chemical, electrical technology, to create a dynamic, colorful, the momentum of magnificent, colorful stage the fine arts, for shaping the images, characters thoughts and feelings, to create drama stage environment, rendering stage atmosphere and so on, play an important role. Especially commendable is, these drama " big production", to open up a fresh outlook, with distinct characteristics of the new era of the new art characteristic, attracted a vast number of opera audiences. From the perspective of reception aesthetics, to the audience gave a satisfactory answer, that is the greatest success of artistic creation.
Stage art of drama and other stage performance is an important part, including the background, lighting, make-up, costumes, props, effects. Its task is based on the script and performance requirements, in the unity of artistic conception in using a variety of art means, create the environment and the role of the external image, rendering the stage atmosphere. I think that is helpful for the completion of this task, as long as conditions permit, we should unlock hands or feet bold pursuit of development and innovation. But we also should see, some under the banner of innovation and development of the banner, deviate from this task is " virtuoso " nature of the " big production" has also brought many negative effects: one is led to economic benefits serious imbalance; two is a breach of opera performance art noumenon aesthetic characteristics; three is hampered by the opera to the vast culture market; four is the technology to modern art, to computer generation of human brain, moved hard up, garish, and even become a high-tech hodgepodge, people only see the content of science and technology, but it did not see the content of the art. The author has long been engaged in drama writers, from the writer 's point of view, I think we stage art development and innovation at least insist that several of the most basic principles, namely: want to be helpful for creating characters, two to help create and organize the dramatic action space, three should be favorable to the performance of an action environment and place, four to help create exotic atmosphere, make it is helpful to reveal the drama thought, six to the maximum extent possible with minimal input to obtain the best artistic effect.
In recent years, the opera stage, the " Huizhou woman " stage art should be regarded as an innovative development paradigm, the most unique is the use of color, light and original artistic processing. The designer the drama lighting processing technique, exaggerated and the beauty of the times merged in the opera art, so that " emblem " play in the stage performance. All bright and strong color contrast changes, with story resonate. As a prelude to the wedding scene, a beam of white light is towering and, direct around a dark central stage of the sedan chair, the bridal sedan chair totally devoted to the beam, eye-catching bright red, extremely sharp dotted the specific props. The accompanying music to ups and downs, with red sedan for the lead, was full of table in the limelight, the arena erupted hot wedding scene, red was an empty sky, making it somewhat retire village suddenly boiling up. While the lights at this time to painting depicting, is a strong, large areas of color contrast the play 's landing, let a person feel every atmosphere and suddenly changes, really make the art form and content to achieve harmony and unity. As the " Hope " in a play, on an empty stage front, a Hui traditional carved bed, placed above the platform, scenery tips, that is an old and shabby village house. " Huizhou woman " the kind of simple kindness, for a better life anxiously expect, soul is empty houses like cold, pale and helpless. While the lights in addition to the basic tone processing, is with the "Huizhou woman " yearning for the beautiful in a series of art, have great originality to actors in the transparent bed performance, more vivid, more exaggerated display in the feudal traditions under a woman for life desire.
In the climax, it is by the dazzling light appearing over Taiwan snowflake and cross the light processing, has had a lot of artistic beauty. The last scene in " return" in the scene, this light and give the very meaning of tips. The lonely mountain village street, Lane residual wall, in a setting sun light, appears mottled yellow wax, and lights with " Huizhou woman " every step step step, a layer of a layer of the outline of a far more to the stone paths, a symbol of life green light, put the figure of a woman to pull a long and thin, combine with art an extension of life, but also a symbol of a never - ending life on the road, let the appreciation linger, daydream. The whole art of mutual comfort, so that we feel the light and the art aesthetic essence of the union of sublimation.
The traditional drama stage is an important art characteristic, it is " virtual sex ". Manage relationship between reality and unreality, stage art design is a key problem. Stage design is set, by using the real scene for virtual service of the drama, stage all the scenes and space have assumed, a flat or background block, can be wall, door, the hill, this is a simple solid construction, while the stage over the part is the true treasure sac, the audience is the birthplace of the infinite. Can say the stage design is really planning to operate through the stage over the space, the design of the main tasks is cloth " empty " rather than " real cloth ". And realistic drama ( Drama ) are asked to cast with life logic fulcrum. Such as a door, window, balcony, furniture, such as slopes, stump. This requires the designer usually treat the life earnestly observation, analysis, and in the creation of refining processing. In the realistic drama, stage art must organize and define the performance space, with actors on the end, arrangement of scenery and props, which accords with the characters of action needs. Along with the large-scale theatrical show increased gradually from stage, stage design more entered the studio, square, gymnasium and other large stage. These large-scale theatrical show " big production" stage design, but also the economic development and the survival and development of product of theatre arts. "The magnificent scene, luxurious device, flashing bright lights, strange clothing " and so on, so that the stage designer gradually realized the importance of " art packaging ". With the development of science and technology, lamps production level and control technology, lighting has become the important stage vocabulary, the use of new materials has greatly enriched the art expressive force.
Lyrical is the Chinese opera aesthetic characteristics, will play realistic setting for the drama stage, leading to see things but not people, blocking the audience's imagination, this is not desirable. " Set to cancel theory" with " make do with whatever is available, or poor against " approach that pale poor stage, is not desirable. Any art innovation, there is a " degree" of the problem of existence, whether for the audience accepted problem. With a hard covering traditional stage of innovation, to harness the " degree" and the viewer's taste and habit of appreciation and the relationship between. Innovation should be based on its positioning on the basis of artistic characteristics, looking similar to other art, and expressive methods of creation, make their own stage design features more distinct, more impressive, the effect is more strongly. Stage art needs innovation and development, innovation and development of the game but is not equal to money, how to make the greatest possible with minimal input to obtain the best artistic effect, still should be regarded as its staff on stage art important contribution!
