ABSTRACT

Combining phenomenological methods with practice-based research, this article explores what and how directorial strategies influence stage presence. Drawing on Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology and Joseph Chaikin’s idea of heightened awareness, in particular, it describes directorial strategies that can heighten awareness in the interdependent actor–audience relationship. Adopting the vocative method addresses the research questions by providing phenomenological descriptions of and reflections on the author’s lived experiences as a spectator and an actor. From first-person accounts of lived experience in performance, ‘giving and taking stimulation’ and performing ‘face-to-face’ prove to be two practical strategies for heightening awareness by placing the actor and spectator into each other’s perceptual focus, thereby enhancing stage presence.

摘要

本文将现象学方法与基于实践的研究相结合，探讨导演策略影响舞台存在的内容和方式。借鉴莫里斯·梅洛-庞蒂的现象学和约瑟夫·柴金的提高意识的思想，它特别描述了可以在相互依赖的演员-观众关系中提高意识的导演策略。采用呼唤法通过对作者作为观众和演员的生活经历的现象学描述和反思来解决研究问题。从对表演现场体验的第一人称叙述来看，“给予和接受刺激”和“面对面”表演被证明是提高意识的两种实用策略，通过将演员和观众置于彼此的感知焦点中，从而提升舞台效果在场。
