1. Stage Spaces and Positions | 舞台空间与位置
The proscenium arch stage frames the action, creating a 'picture frame' effect, with the audience directly facing the stage. The arch hides the wings and fly system, enabling elaborate scene changes and a clear separation between the audience and the performance.
镜框式舞台将表演框在其中，营造出“画框”效果，观众正对舞台而坐。舞台拱门遮挡了侧翼和吊杆系统，便于复杂的换景，并使观众与演出保持清晰的分离。
A thrust stage extends into the audience on three sides, creating a more intimate and immersive experience. Actors can be seen from multiple angles, demanding careful blocking to ensure visibility from all sides.
伸出式舞台三面向观众延伸，创造出更亲密、沉浸的体验。演员可从多个角度被观看，需要精心设计调度以保证各方向都能看清。
Theatre-in-the-round, or arena staging, places the audience entirely around the performance space. This demands 360-degree blocking and often minimalistic set design to avoid obstructing sightlines.
环形剧场（或称中心式舞台）将观众完全置于表演空间四周。这要求360度调度，并通常采用极简布景以免遮挡视线。
Fundamental stage directions are given from the actor's perspective facing the audience: 'stage right' is the actor's right, 'stage left' is the actor's left, 'upstage' is towards the back, and 'downstage' is towards the audience.
基本舞台方向以演员面向观众为基准：“舞台右侧”是演员的右手边，“舞台左侧”是左手边，“后台”指向舞台后方，“前台”指向观众。
2. Acting and Characterisation | 表演与角色塑造
An objective is what a character wants to achieve in a particular scene, driven by the given circumstances. A super-objective runs throughout the entire play, unifying the character's journey and providing a spine for the actor's choices.
目标是角色在特定场景中想要达成的目的，由规定情境驱动。贯穿动作线贯穿全剧，统一角色的旅程，为演员的选择提供主干。
Given circumstances refer to the specific conditions and background that influence a character—such as time, place, social status, and relationships—which actors must analyse to build authentic and consistent behaviour.
规定情境指影响角色的具体条件和背景——如时代、地点、社会地位和人际关系——演员必须分析它们才能构建真实可信且前后一致的行为。
Subtext is the unspoken or underlying meaning beneath the dialogue. A character's true intentions, emotions, and thoughts are revealed through paralinguistic cues, pauses, and physical action rather than the literal words spoken.
潜台词是对话之下未说出的深层含义。角色的真实意图、情感和思想通过副语言线索、停顿和肢体动作而非字面意思来揭示。
Emotional memory, a key element of Stanislavski's system, invites actors to draw upon their own past emotional experiences to connect authentically with a character's feelings, enabling a truthful and psychologically real performance.
情绪记忆是斯坦尼斯拉夫斯基体系的关键要素，邀请演员提取自身以往的情感经历，以真实地与角色情感连接，实现真诚且心理上真实的表演。
Physicalisation refers to the use of the body to express character, emotion, or idea. From posture and gesture to tension and release, the actor's physicality communicates much of the subtext and inner life.
肢体化指运用身体表达角色、情感或思想。从姿态和手势到身体的紧张与放松，演员的肢体性传递了大量潜台词和内在生命。
3. Directing and Blocking | 导演与舞台调度
Blocking is the precise movement and positioning of actors on stage, planned by the director to tell the story, create visual emphasis, and reflect relationships. Every cross, turn, and level change is intentional.
舞台调度是演员在舞台上的精确移动和站位，由导演规划以讲述故事、创造视觉强调并反映关系。每一次走位、转身和层次变化都有其用意。
Stage pictures are the compositional arrangements of actors and set at any given moment, like a living painting. Directors use them to convey themes, power dynamics, and emotional shifts visually.
舞台画面是在任一时刻演员和布景的组合构图，如同生动的画作。导演利用它们在视觉上传达主题、权力关系和情感变化。
Focus directs the audience's attention to a particular character, action, or area of the stage. It can be achieved through lighting, positioning, eye-lines, or the contrast between movement and stillness.
焦点将观众注意力引导至特定角色、动作或舞台区域。可通过灯光、定位、视线或动与静的对比来实现。
Proxemics refers to the spatial distance between characters on stage, revealing their relationships and emotional states. Close proximity suggests intimacy or confrontation; greater distance may indicate alienation, fear, or authority.
空间关系指舞台上角色之间的距离，揭示其关系和情感状态。近距离暗示亲密或冲突；远距离可能表示疏离、恐惧或权威。
4. Voice and Speech | 声音与台词
Pitch is the highness or lowness of the voice, used to express emotion, age, and status. A high pitch may convey anxiety or excitement; a low pitch can suggest authority or menace.
音高是声音的高低，用于表达情感、年龄和地位。高音可传达焦虑或激动；低音可暗示权威或威胁。
Pace refers to the speed of delivery. Rapid pace can indicate panic, excitement, or nervous energy; slow pace can build tension, show reflection, or underline importance.
语速指台词传送的速度。快节奏可表示恐慌、激动或紧张的能量；慢节奏可以营造紧张、表现沉思或强调重要内容。
