碩士 === 國立臺灣藝術大學 === 戲劇學系表演藝術碩士班 === 101 === The aim of this study is to explore the content and meanings of concert. Using Jolin Tsai’s “My Self” concert as an example, this study discusses how the theme of the concert is designed, how the image of Jolin Tsai is created, moreover, how the program is presented in the concert. Participating in person as an audience in the concert, the researcher observed the live performance and analyzed the collected evidences. Through such methodology, it is suggested that certain image of the singer and expectation of the concert is in fact already built up – via channels like commercial publicity, fan club activities and so on – before the actual performance. The theme of the concert is gradually outlined through the performing materials such as repertoire, lyrics, dance, costume, staging lightening and talks from the singer. The program of the concert is constructed with a clear intention: to lead audience to follow the theme and find that image of the singer and expectation of the concert fulfilled. It is noticed that the style of the performing is influenced significantly by MV, especially when dancing music is delivered – for body gestures and movements are usually deeply involved in dancing music in MV. It is also discovered in this study that in order to present the concept of the theme, many elements of “My Self” concert are re-created purposely, such as rearrangement of songs, adaption of dance, reproduction of staging and costuming from MV, etc., which all represent and interpret the meanings of the concert. From this point of view, one can suggests that a concert is not only a performance of repertoire, but more like a new production of creation.
