第八講:崑曲旦行表演藝術:貼旦、破格的旦行與武旦(梁谷音老師、王芝泉老師)
崑曲角色雖以行當劃分,但為了演活人物,從藝者亦需適時走出規範。如何拿捏當中的分寸,我們可以從本週的「崑曲旦行表演藝術:貼旦、破格的旦行與武旦」略知一二。梁谷音老師會為我們講解示範《孽海記.思凡》的藝術特色,說明她如何博取眾家之長塑造角色性格;此外,她也會以《潘金蓮》和《爛柯山.潑水》為例,展示破格的旦行之美。梁老師是上海崑劇團的國家一級演員,第三屆中國戲劇梅花獎獲得者。師承張傳芳、朱傳茗、沈傳芷等名家,嗓音甜潤,表演細膩,身段嬌媚輕盈。她主演花旦,但正旦、閨門旦俱能勝任。另外,我們邀請了有「武旦皇后」之譽的國寶級崑曲表演藝術家王芝泉老師主講武旦的表演藝術。王老師會向我們講述她學藝的寶貴歷程,亦會細緻分析《西遊記.借扇》的表演特色,並配以她與張銘榮老師合演的珍貴片段以作示範。王老師畢業於上海市戲曲學校第一屆崑劇演員班,工武旦、刀馬旦,師承方傳芸、松雪芳、張傳芳老師。其表演剛柔相濟,打中有做,舞表結合,既追求技巧上的新奇和高難,又著力於人物性格的塑造,具有獨特的藝術風格。曾獲第四屆中國戲劇梅花獎、第三屆上海戲劇節主演一等獎,並當選第三批全國非物質文化遺產項目代表性傳承人。

第十二講:崑曲新美學:傳統與現代(白先勇教授)
如何讓這一擁有六百年歷史的傳統表演藝術在現代舞臺上繼續放光?需要作出怎樣的調整及創新以吸引新一代觀眾?傳統藝術與文化如何轉化成為現代資源?在本學期的最後一講「崑曲新美學:傳統與現代」中,白先勇教授將分享他過去十餘年策劃及製作兩齣崑曲經典《牡丹亭》及《玉簪記》的經驗,帶領我們一起思考探索這些美學與文化問題。
