In a south London rehearsal studio in February 2018, I sit with actors Julia Wieninger and Paul Herwig during rehearsal for the Deutsches Schauspielhaus Hamburg production of Martin Crimp’s Schlafende Männer (Men Asleep). Katie Mitchell and Crimp are on another table, working together to divide the text into action sequences or ‘Events’, something typically done with the ensemble. As Mitchell explains, Events are ‘moments in the action where everyone changes what they are doing or playing’. Earlier, everyone present has helped to read out the characters’ biographies, which emphasise the ‘backstories’ of their relationships. Unlike her stated practice, Katie also wrote these herself in preparation for rehearsals (‘for speed’, she said). She has also added her timeline of the real and imagined Events that lead up to the play’s strange world of ambiguity and control. Now, some missing links from this retroactive construction need to be completed by the actors, divided into the two couples that feature in the play. Crimp has named the characters the same as the actors’ names, but, he explains on this first morning, it is not ‘their psychology’ and sees the work as ‘a gift’. Questions arising from the text had earlier been raised by Mitchell and sent to Crimp; copies of their correspondence are passed around. Over five densely typed pages, the writer offered responses in red ink. Some points are practical:

凯蒂·米切尔和排练的实践/ise

2018 年 2 月,在伦敦南部的一个排练工作室,我和演员朱莉娅·维宁格和保罗·赫维格坐在一起,为 Deutsches Schauspielhaus Hamburg 制作的 Martin Crimp 的 Schlafende Männer (Men Asleep) 排练。Katie Mitchell 和 Crimp 在另一张桌子上,共同将文本分成动作序列或“事件”,这通常是由合奏完成的。正如 Mitchell 解释的那样,事件是“每个人都改变他们正在做或正在玩的事情的行动时刻”。早些时候,在场的每个人都帮助阅读了角色的传记,这些传记强调了他们关系的“背景故事”。与她所说的练习不同,凯蒂自己也写了这些,为排练做准备(“为了速度”,她说)。她还添加了真实和想象事件的时间线,这些事件导致了该剧的模糊和控制的奇怪世界。现在,这个追溯结构中的一些缺失环节需要由演员来完成,分为剧中的两对夫妇。Crimp 给角色起的名字和演员的名字一样,但是,他在第一天早上解释说,这不是“他们的心理”,而是将这部作品视为“礼物”。米切尔早些时候提出了文本中出现的问题并发送给了克林普;他们的信件副本被传来传去。超过五页密集打印的页面,作者用红色墨水提供了答复。有几点是实用的:Crimp 给角色起的名字和演员的名字一样,但是,他在第一天早上解释说,这不是“他们的心理”,而是将这部作品视为“礼物”。米切尔早些时候提出了文本中出现的问题并发送给了克林普;他们的信件副本被传来传去。超过五页密集打印的页面,作者用红色墨水提供了答复。有几点是实用的:Crimp 给角色起的名字和演员的名字一样,但是,他在第一天早上解释说,这不是“他们的心理”,而是将这部作品视为“礼物”。米切尔早些时候提出了文本中出现的问题并发送给了克林普;他们的信件副本被传来传去。超过五页密集打印的页面,作者用红色墨水提供了答复。有几点是实用的:
