工作坊：西拉：傳統菲律賓武術的格鬥舞藝
Silat: Traditional Filipino Martial Arts as combat Choreography
簡介：
這個工作坊試圖把傳統的表演藝術轉化成適合現代劇場的戲劇語彙。工作坊的重點是「西拉」這項在馬來西亞、印尼也看得到的菲律賓傳統武術。學員會學到西拉基本的招式，並且運用西拉進行即興表演，來探索《羅密歐與茱麗葉》開場戲的打鬥場景。因此，工作坊也會向學員介紹igal這種模擬海浪波動的傳統舞蹈。藉由結合西拉與igal的練習，賦予西方的經典劇目新的生命，我們期待能為亞洲舞臺上的跨文化表演展示一條可行的路徑。
The workshop is an attempt to translate traditional performing arts practices into theatrical expressions suitable for the contemporary stage. Its focus will be on a Filipino martial arts tradition called the “silat,” a form also found in Malaysia and Indonesia. Participants learn the basics of this martial arts form and are expected to improvise on this form to explore the opening fight scene of Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet.” To accomplish this, participants will also be introduced to the “igal,” a traditional dance that captures the movements of the sea. The fusion of “silat” and “igal” is expected to animate classical western texts and demonstrate one pathway for intercultural theater on the Asian stage.
