傑出表演藝術家創作歷程之探析

Creativity Process of Distinguished Performing Artists

本研究乃是邀請六位傑出表演藝術家成為研究參與者，經由深度訪談及蒐集相關文件資料的方式進行複式個案研究，據以瞭解傑出表演藝術家之創作歷程。根據研究發現與探討，將表演藝術家之創作歷程分為以下六個階段：
1.集材：來自於平日的閱讀、音樂的收集、旅遊的觀察、生活的歷練以及其他類藝術的觀摩等。
2.主題構想與刺激連結：從事藝術創作需先有自己的概念與主題的構想，其中包含可能的刺激連結。
3.內容的構思：內容的構思包含主架構的確立、動作的構想、形成整體畫面。
4.具體化、空間化、舞台呈現的可能性。
5.修正作品的可能性、行政溝通與團隊的互相配合。
6.作品的呈現、觀眾的回饋支持：演出就像與觀眾產生對流，並產生想像的延伸。

The participants in this research study were six distinguished performing artists. Case studies were used as the framework for in-depth interviews and data collection. The creative process of artists was divided into the following six stages. First, materials gathering: most materials came from daily reading, music appreciation, observations while traveling, life experiences and art exhibitions. The second stage was theme formation: first came the themes, and stimuli association followed. The third stage was content mapping: this included the establishment of a theme structure, thinking about action, and the formation of the whole picture. Fourth was the probability of embodiment and stage presentation: the aim here was to transfer the theme into workable ideas, and even visualizations. Fifth came the review of works: as stage presentation was the result of teamwork, it called for all the parts to be well-connected. Finally there was the presentation of works: presentation involved having a counter-stream with the audience, leading to increased use of the imagination.
