| Summary: | 博士 === 國立臺灣藝術大學 === 表演藝術學院表演藝術博士班 === 104 === The paragraphs of post-war Taiwan theatre history are mostly focused on recoding the performance titles and categories only but without depicting the theatre itself. The professional studies on theatres in the modern time are usually looking into literature and documentation to present the logical thinking projected from audiences, while the essential element “theatre” is ignored. In this work, not applying the traditional scheme of chronological data stacks, the lifecycle of a theatre is explored to discover the threads of Taiwan theatre after the war in a human-centric view: regarding the theatre as a person, observing her growth and her self-conscious in long landscape shots within events of those years and to retrieve the historical logics and genuine meanings of a theatre.
This study would take the space (theatre), presentation (troupe) and participants (audience) as a whole organic being and analyze its growing processes in the aspects of encounters (obstacles of theatres), atmosphere (environment of theatres), and principles (management of theatres), voices (mass consciousness) , lights (crowd behavior) and aesthetic feeling (aesthetic of theatres) . With these 6 dimensions, a biography of the theatre is constructed upon the historical mission, related policies and the generic overall culture along the time; somehow it could very introspective to redefine theatre as a mansion of humanity but not just an eccentrically-shaped architecture. The author sincerely hopes, with it thesis, to reconstruct the history of Taiwan theatre and also leave a light on a new path for the future researchers to elaborate more on the Taiwan theatres’ now and then.
