The Techniques of Stage
舞台技巧
In traditional Chinese operas there is a minimum of stage equipment; the time, environment, relations among the roles and the characters of the people in the story are all demonstrated through singing, speaking and body movements. This type of artistic exaggeration is brought to perfection in the superb martial arts skills of the performers when simulating battles. Stylized patterns of singing,dialogue,acting and acrobatics were gradually formed—all in coordination with specific musical rhythms.
在中国传统戏剧里舞台设备是很少的;时间,环境,情节和人物的个性特点都是通过歌声、口语和肢体动作表现出来的。这种类型的夸张艺术使表演者在模拟战斗场景时精湛完美。程式化的唱歌,对话,表演和杂技表演逐渐形成,所有都与特定的音乐节奏配合。
