摘要 《變化•進化》創作論述以舞台設計創作過程中所遭遇的「變因」為主軸,「計劃趕不上變化」一直是劇場設計在創作過程會面臨到的問題,而設計者期許自身以設計思維的「進化」,來追趕所有可能的「變化」。 舞台設計在構思這舞台要發揮何種視覺作用時,是根據劇本的內容、表演的風格與導演整體的構想來決定的。相對的,導演也應要有設計師圖像式的思考方式,去揣摩舞台的整體畫面,互相熟悉對方的語言。有些導演意念的表達方式很強,但卻無法想像各式設計圖﹝平面圖、立面圖、彩色圖等﹞或模型所表現的舞台視覺效果,非得在實際的舞台空間上呈現才看的出來。這時舞台設計師就必須要有很強的應變能力,隨時配合導演來作適度的調整。因為導演可能在最後一刻仍在改景。當然這種情形多少會影響當初設計的概念,一個設計師若保持開放的態度,不但可以化解問題,有時會因別人新的見解而有意想不到的效果。
ABSTRACT “From variation to evolution” is talking about changing of stage design concept in the production. It is the problem that the plan always change in the process of theater design, so designer have to make his way of design evolution to deal with all variation possibly. What visual effect designed on stage is according to the context of script, the style of play and director's concept. By contrast, director may think like a designer to imagine the whole stage, to familiar with designer's language. Some directors are easy to show their thought, but couldn't imagine the paper of design (Ground-plan, section, render) or model, they only realized when they are on real stage. Therefore, stage design should have good ability to adjust their presentation for your director. Director may change your design until the last second. Of course, it would affect the original design concept, designer may have flexible attitude to solve the problem, sometimes would have excellent effect because of somebody's new idea.
