1. Aristotle's Six Elements of Tragedy Formula | 亚里士多德悲剧六要素公式
The foundational formula for dramatic analysis, drawn from Aristotle's Poetics, states that every tragedy consists of six hierarchically ordered elements. The order of importance is Plot, Character, Thought, Diction, Song, and Spectacle. Plot is the 'soul of tragedy' because it is the structure of actions, and character is secondary, existing to serve the plot. A shortened symbolic representation can be articulated as:
Tragedy = Plot > Character > Thought > Diction > Song > Spectacle
根据亚里士多德《诗学》的戏剧分析基础公式：每一部悲剧由六个按等级排序的元素构成。重要性顺序依次为情节、性格、思想、言辞、歌曲与景象。情节是“悲剧的灵魂”，因为它代表行动的结构，而性格位居其次，为情节服务。简化的符号表达如上所示。
2. The Three Unities Theorem | 三一律定理
Neoclassical critics derived from Aristotle the 'Three Unities' theorem: unity of action, unity of time, and unity of place. A play should have one main action, take place within a single revolution of the sun (roughly 24 hours), and occur in one physical location. While not all drama adheres to it, the theorem provides a powerful tool for analysing narrative constraint and intensity. The theorem is often summarised as:
Dramatic Unity = 1 Action + 1 Day + 1 Place
新古典主义评论家从亚里士多德理论中推导出“三一律”定理：行动的统一、时间的统一和地点的统一。一出戏应当只有一个主要行动，时间压缩在太阳一周天（约24小时）内，地点固定在同一个物理空间。虽然并非所有戏剧都遵循，但该定理为分析叙事的约束性和强度提供了有力工具。定理常被概括为：戏剧统一 = 1个行动 + 1天 + 1个地点。
3. Stanislavski's System: Given Circumstances + Magic 'If' | 斯坦尼斯拉夫斯基体系：规定情境 + 魔幻“假如”
Konstantin Stanislavski's early system can be expressed as an equation of inner truth. The actor studies the play's given circumstances (the facts, events, epoch, and conditions of the character's life) and then asks the magic 'if': 'What would I do if I were in these circumstances?' This imaginative leap triggers genuine feelings and organic actions. The core formula is:
Given Circumstances + Magic 'If' → Truthful Experiencing
康斯坦丁·斯坦尼斯拉夫斯基的早期体系可表述为一个关于内在真实的等式。演员钻研剧本的“规定情境”（人物生命中的事实、事件、时代和条件），然后提出魔幻“假如”：“如果我身处此境，我会怎么做？”这一想象性的跳跃激发真实的感受和有机的行动。核心公式如上所示：规定情境 + 魔幻“假如” → 真实的体验。
4. Stanislavski's Method of Physical Actions Formula | 斯坦尼斯拉夫斯基身体行动方法公式
In his later work, Stanislavski reversed the psycho-emotional approach: instead of feeling first, the actor executes a precise score of physical actions in the given circumstances. Faithful execution of the physical line of actions naturally evokes the corresponding emotions. The 'key' that unlocks the subconscious is physical doing. This is captured in the formula:
Physical Action + Concentration → Emotion & Subconscious Creation
斯坦尼斯拉夫斯基后期的工作逆转了心理情绪路径：演员不是在感受之后行动，而是在规定情境中执行精确的身体行动谱。忠实地执行身体动作线自然会唤起相应的情感。开启潜意识的“钥匙”是身体力行。这一方法可用公式概括：身体行动 + 专注 → 情感与下意识创造。
5. Brecht's Epic Theatre Theorem: The Verfremdungseffekt | 布莱希特史诗剧定理：间离效果
Bertolt Brecht's epic theatre is built upon the Verfremdungseffekt (V-effekt), or alienation effect. The theorem states that making the familiar strange prevents the audience from becoming empathetically lost in the illusion. Instead, they adopt a critical, questioning attitude. Techniques such as direct address, placards, visible lighting, and songs break the fourth wall. The basic operating principle can be represented as:
Familiar Action + V-effekt → Critical Distance & Social Reflection
贝托尔特·布莱希特的史诗剧建立在“间离效果”（V-effekt）之上。定理指出，使熟悉的事物变得陌生能够防止观众在幻象中迷失自我并过度共情，从而采取批判、质疑的态度。直接致辞、标牌、暴露灯光、歌曲等技法打破第四堵墙。基本运行法则可表示为：熟悉的行动 + 间离效果 → 批判距离与社会反思。
6. Grotowski's Poor Theatre Formula | 格洛托夫斯基贫困戏剧公式
Jerzy Grotowski formulated 'Poor Theatre' by stripping away all elements deemed extraneous: make-up, costume, set, lighting effects, even music. The actor-spectator relationship becomes the essential core. Theatre rich in spectacle is 'rich theatre'; true theatre eliminates the superfluous so that the actor's body, voice, and direct encounter with the audience become the primary means of expression. The formula is:
Theatre = (Actor + Spectator) - (Costume + Set + Lighting + Music)
耶日·格洛托夫斯基通过剥离所有被视作非必要的元素——化妆、服装、布景、灯光效果甚至音乐——构建了“贫困戏剧”。演员与观众的关系成为本质核心。依赖奇观的戏剧是“富裕戏剧”；真正的戏剧消除多余，使演员的身体、声音以及与观众的直面交流成为首要表现手段。公式为：戏剧 = (演员 + 观众) - (服装 + 布景 + 灯光 + 音乐)。
7. Artaud's Theatre of Cruelty Formula | 阿尔托残酷戏剧公式
Antonin Artaud conceived the Theatre of Cruelty as an assault on the audience's senses, bypassing rational thought to reach the subconscious. His formula replaces spoken text with a physical language of signs: screams, rhythms, vibrations, lights, and violent gestures. The goal is a therapeutic purgation, a 'cruelty' not of physical blood but of confronting raw truth. This can be reduced to:
Sensory Overload (Sound + Light + Movement) ⇌ Subconscious Release
安托南·阿尔托构想的残酷戏剧是对观众感官的冲击，绕过理性思维直抵潜意识。他的公式用身体的符码语言取代了言语文本：尖叫、节奏、震颤、灯光和暴烈的姿态。其目标是一种治疗性的净化，“残酷”并非肉体的流血，而是直面原始真相的残酷。可简化为：感官超载（声音 + 灯光 + 动作）⇌ 下意识释放。
8. Laban's Movement Analysis Formula | 拉班动作分析公式
Rudolf Laban's framework for analysing and notating human movement is a vital tool for performers. The formula examines four core components: Body (which parts move), Effort (the quality of movement in terms of Weight, Time, Space, and Flow), Shape (how the body changes form), and Space (the kinesphere and pathways). An actor can build character movement by combining these variables. Symbolically:
Movement Expression = Body × Effort (W/T/S/F) × Shape × Space
鲁道夫·拉班分析和记录人体动作的框架是表演者的重要工具。该公式考察四个核心成分：身体（哪些部位在动）、力效（动作在重力、时间、空间和流畅度上的品质）、形态（身体如何改变形状）以及空间（动球和路径）。演员可以通过组合这些变量来创建角色动作。象征表达为：动作表达 = 身体 × 力效（重/时/空/流）× 形态 × 空间。
9. Freytag's Pyramid of Dramatic Structure | 弗莱塔格戏剧结构金字塔
Gustav Freytag's analysis of classical five-act tragedy provides a timeless narrative formula: Exposition, Rising Action, Climax, Falling Action, and Denouement (or Catastrophe). The pyramid describes the increasing tension to a turning point, followed by a release. Understanding this shape helps in both writing and analysing the rhythmic structure of a play. It is memorised as:
Drama = Exposition → Rising Action (Complication) → Climax → Falling Action → Denouement
古斯塔夫·弗莱塔格对古典五幕悲剧的分析提供了一套经久不衰的叙事公式：开端、上升行动、高潮、下降行动和结局（或灾难）。这一金字塔形描绘了张力逐步累积至转折点后释放的过程。理解这一形状有助于编写和分析剧本的节奏结构。可记为：戏剧 = 开端 → 上升行动（复杂化）→ 高潮 → 下降行动 → 结局。
10. Character Objective Formula: The 'To Do' Verb | 角色目标公式：“去做”的动词
In Stanislavski-based analysis and the actioning technique, a character's objective is never a passive state of being but an active, transitive verb. The formula requires the actor to define what the character wants to do to the other person in each unit of action. It follows the structure: 'I want to + [action verb] + [target]'. For example, 'I want to challenge you' rather than 'I am angry'. The formula is:
Objective = To + Transitive Action Verb + Target (Partner or Self)
在以斯坦尼斯拉夫斯基为基础的分析和“行动法”中，角色的目标从来不是一个被动的存在状态，而是一个主动的及物动词。这条公式要求演员在每个行动单元中定义角色想对另一个人“做”什么。它遵循以下结构：“我想要 + [行动动词] + [对象]”。例如，“我想要挑战你”而非“我生气了”。公式为：目标 = 去 + 及物行动动词 + 对象（对手或自身）。
11. Subtext and Inner Monologue Theorem | 潜台词与内心独白定理
Stanislavski's concept of subtext states that the spoken text is merely the tip of the iceberg; underneath lies the character's inner monologue, the unspoken thoughts, images, and intentions that drive the lines. The theorem holds that powerful performance arises when the actor holds a vivid inner stream of consciousness that contradicts or colours the spoken word. This inner life can be expressed as:
Performance Depth = Spoken Text + Unspoken Inner Monologue (Subtext)
斯坦尼斯拉夫斯基的潜台词概念指出，说出的文本只是冰山一角；在其之下潜伏着角色的内心独白，即驱动台词的、未被言说的思想、图像和意图。该定理认为，当演员怀有生动的内在意识流，而这意识流与说出的话矛盾或为其上色时，强大的表演便由此诞生。这种内在生命可表达为：表演深度 = 说出的文本 + 未言说的内心独白（潜台词）。
12. Ensemble Devising and Complicité Formula | 集体即兴创作与“同志剧团”公式
Drawing from the practice of Complicité and other devising ensembles, the formula for collective creation emphasises mutual responsiveness, play, and the acceptance of offers. An ensemble builds material through a cycle: an offer is given, blocked or accepted, extended, and finally shaped through composition. The vitality of the work depends on each performer saying 'yes, and...'. The devising theorem can be written as:
Collective Creation = Offer + Accept + Extend + Structure (Yes, and...)
汲取自“同志剧团”（Complicité）及其他集体创作团体的实践，集体创作的公式强调相互回应、玩耍精神和对提议的接纳。集体通过一个循环构建素材：一个提议被给出，被拒绝或接纳，被发展，最后通过编作曲段成形。作品的活力取决于每个演员都说“对，而且……”。创作定理可写作：集体创作 = 提议 + 接纳 + 延展 + 结构（“对，而且……”）。
