The development process and content of the small theater movement "small theater"

The significance, origin and present situation of small theater written by Song Chunfang in 19 19 is the first article to introduce and advocate the small theater movement. Later, People's Drama Club systematically advocated in its organ publication Drama, and various newspapers and publishing houses also published a large number of related translations and articles, among which Chen Dabei's long article Beautiful Drama had the greatest influence. China advocated the small theater movement mainly in two aspects. The first is to establish a new drama system different from the civilized new drama, so as to make China's drama standardized, professional and scientific. Its core is to replace the "star system" with "director" (then called "stage supervision" system), take the director as the center, and unify the playwright's creation, actor's performance and stage art design into an organic whole, which is completely embodied as "the art of theater" Hu Shi's "Lifelong Event" imitates Ibsen's "Nora" and is the earliest script of modern drama. Hong Shen's Fan of the Dramatists Association (adapted from Wilde's works) has made exemplary efforts in establishing a new rehearsal system, thus becoming a "classic performance". Secondly, perhaps more importantly, a set of new aesthetic principles, performance systems and modes of drama have been put forward and established. The highest purpose of drama is to create a "stage illusion" full of real life: stage art pursues realistic and life-like effects, and actors' performances require living in a specific situation created by the stage, not communicating with the audience emotionally, and pursuing the nature like fragments of life. Thus, the creation and performance mode of "Theater Drama" which has a far-reaching influence in the field of China's drama was created.
