试论戏剧冲突在表演中的重要性

“戏剧冲突”不仅是表演理论研究的重要课题，而且也是表演专业学生学习的重要内容。爱尔兰剧作家乔治·伯纳德·肖曾经说过“没有冲突，就没有戏剧”。纵观历史，从古希腊时期到文艺复兴时期，再到近代，戏剧工作者们对戏剧冲突的研究和探讨从未停止过。《中国大百科全书》中对“戏剧冲突”的定义是：“戏剧冲突是表现人与人之间矛盾关系和人的内心矛盾的特殊艺术形式。”戏剧冲突在作品中的表现方式分为三种：人与人之间的冲突、人与自我的冲突、人与外部环境的冲突。影响戏剧冲突的主要因素有人物性格、内心活动、动作与反动作，以及剧情发展。该论文试图通过梳理戏剧冲突的概念及其在表演中的应用等方面的问题，结合着自己的演出创作实践经历，对戏剧冲突在表演中的重要性进行初步的研究和探讨。

Dramatic Conflict has always been a very important topic in theatre education and for acting students. As Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw once said, "No conflict, no drama." Since the Ancient Greek period to the Renaissance period to modern days, Dramatic Conflict has been an important topic for the foundation of theatre performance. Conflict may manifest as external or internal. External conflict consists of two types: Character vs. Character(s) and/or Character vs. Nature. Internal conflict is the struggle that occurs in the mind of the main character, in other words, Character vs. Self. This paper will discuss the above-mentioned aspects of Conflict of Dramaturgy with first hand acting experience and knowledge from literature works.
