舞蹈現場中觀者視見的揭露

Exploration on Audience’s Viewing Experience in Dance Performance

本研究以接受美學的理論基礎與現今觀看美學的論述，進入舞蹈觀看美學的主題，澄清演出當下表演者與觀者的臨場經驗，揭露「斷裂」、「反差」、「不同調」與「非理性」的觀看本質，開顯作品意義，並補充現今觀看美學的研究。舞蹈創作中，身體承載創作者的意圖，是以抽象或非抽象等形式表現之，通過觀看者的視見，表演者與觀看者間的共構與在場特性，實現作品本身；然而，兩者間並非是理想的、和諧的及順暢的美感接收，事實上，實際的觀看經驗中，觀看者面對隱晦不明、流變跳躍、轉瞬即逝的表演者身體，以及現場眾多的意向，湧現非固定、非流暢、非理性的觀看感受，形成觀看的距離；但也正因如此，才能讓表演者身體的給出，觸發觀看者的想像，進入作品的觀看美學。

Based on the theory of reception aesthetics and contemporary aesthetic discourse, the research explores the theme of dance performance and clarifies the experience between the performers and the audience during the performance. Through discussing the circumstances that cause different experience, including the discrepancy in expectations, aesthetic perception caused by unexpected mistakes on stage, imperfect harmony owing to different awareness, and the sensitive and perceptual way of viewing, the research aims to explore the meaning of works and to complement the current study on aesthetics of viewing. In dance performance, performers’ bodies carry their intentions, which are expressed in abstract or non-abstract forms. Added by the audience’s presence and seeing, the work is co-constructed and realized. However, the aesthetic reception between the performers and audience is not ideally harmonious and smooth; in fact, as the audience is oftentimes confronted with the constantly-moving body of the performer that seem obscure and fleeting as well as numerous intentions on the scene, indeterminate, non-identical, and perceptual viewing experience is hence developed, which builds up an invisible distance between the performers and the audience. Still, because of that, the audience can be inspired and perceive the aesthetics of the work through the performer’s body movements.
