1. What is Drama? | 什么是戏剧？

Drama is a form of storytelling performed by actors on a stage. It combines spoken words, movement, and emotion to convey a story to an audience. The word ‘drama’ comes from the Greek word ‘dran’, meaning ‘to act’ or ‘to do’.

戏剧是一种由演员在舞台上表演的故事讲述形式。它结合了台词、动作和情感，向观众传达一个故事。’戏剧’一词源自希腊语’dran’，意为’行动’或’表演’。

In Year 7, you will explore the building blocks of drama, learning how to use your voice, body, and imagination to create believable characters and engaging scenes.

在七年级，你将探索戏剧的构成要素，学习如何运用你的声音、身体和想象力去创造可信的角色和引人入胜的场景。

2. The Key Elements of Drama | 戏剧的关键要素

Drama is built from several essential ingredients. Understanding these elements will help you analyse and create performances.

戏剧由若干基本要素构成。理解这些要素有助于你分析和创作表演。

Plot – the sequence of events in the story
情节 —— 故事中事件发生的顺序
Character – the people or beings who take part in the action
角色 —— 参与行动的人物或生物
Theme – the central idea, message, or deeper meaning
主题 —— 中心思想、寓意或深层含义
Dialogue – the words spoken between characters
对白 —— 角色之间所说的话
Conflict – the problem or struggle that drives the story forward
冲突 —— 推动故事发展的问题或斗争
Spectacle – all the visual and auditory elements, such as sets, costumes, lighting, and sound
场面 —— 所有视听元素，如布景、服装、灯光和音效

When these elements work together harmoniously, a powerful and engaging performance is created.

当这些要素和谐地结合在一起时，一场强大而引人入胜的演出便诞生了。

3. Performance Skills: Voice | 表演技巧：声音

Your voice is one of your most expressive tools as a performer. Being able to control and vary your voice allows you to bring a character to life and communicate meaning clearly.

作为表演者，你的声音是最具表现力的工具之一。能够控制和变化你的声音，可以让你赋予角色生命，并清晰地传达含义。

Key aspects of vocal skills include projection (speaking loudly enough to be heard by everyone), articulation (clear and precise pronunciation), pitch (how high or low your voice sounds), pace (the speed at which you speak), tone (the emotional quality of your voice), and pause (a deliberate silence for effect).

声音技巧的关键方面包括音量投射（说话声音足够洪亮，让每个人都能听到）、咬字（清晰准确的发音）、音调（声音听起来的高低）、语速（说话的速度）、语气（声音的情感色彩）和停顿（为达到效果而有意的沉默）。

For example, a nervous character might speak quickly and with a higher pitch, while a confident character might use a slower pace and deeper tone.

例如，一个紧张的角色可能会说话很快且音调较高，而一个自信的角色可能语速较慢、音调低沉。

4. Performance Skills: Body Language | 表演技巧：肢体语言

Physical skills are just as important as vocal skills on stage. An actor’s body language tells the audience much about a character’s feelings, status, and intentions without a single word being spoken.

在舞台上，身体技巧与声音技巧同样重要。演员的肢体语言无需一句台词，就能向观众传递大量关于角色感受、地位和意图的信息。

Essential physical skills include gesture (hand and arm movements), posture (how you hold your body), facial expression (using your face to show emotion), eye contact (where and how you look), levels (high, medium, or low positions on stage), and spatial awareness (being mindful of where you and others are on stage).

主要的身体技巧包括手势（手部和手臂的动作）、姿势（身体的姿态）、面部表情（用面部展示情绪）、眼神交流（你看向哪里、怎么看）、层次（舞台上高、中、低的位置）和空间意识（注意自己和他人所在的位置）。

Experimenting with different walks, stances, and gestures can help you develop a unique physicality for each character you play.

尝试不同的走姿、站姿和手势，能帮助你为扮演的每一个角色培养独特的身体质感。

5. Understanding Stage Directions | 理解舞台指示

Stage directions are the instructions in a script that tell actors where to move. They are always given from the actor’s point of view when facing the audience. Knowing these terms is essential for blocking (planning movement) and safety.

舞台指示是剧本中告诉演员该如何走位的指令。它们始终以演员面向观众时的视角来表述。了解这些术语对于走位调度和舞台安全至关重要。

English Term	中文术语	Description	描述
Upstage	上舞台	The area towards the back of the stage, away from the audience.	舞台后部，远离观众的区域。
Downstage	下舞台	The area towards the front of the stage, near the audience.	舞台前部，靠近观众的区域。
Centre Stage	中心舞台	The middle of the stage area.	舞台区域的中央。
Stage Left	舞台左侧	The actor’s left when facing the audience.	演员面向观众时的左侧。
Stage Right	舞台右侧	The actor’s right when facing the audience.	演员面向观众时的右侧。

Remember: if you are standing downstage and the director asks you to move upstage, you must walk away from the audience towards the back wall.

记住：如果你站在下舞台，而导演要你向上舞台移动，你必须远离观众，走向后墙。

6. Creating a Character | 创造角色

Developing a believable character involves much more than just learning lines. You need to understand who your character is, what they want, and why they behave the way they do. A useful method is the 5 Ws: Who am I? What do I want? Where am I? When is it? Why am I doing this?

塑造一个可信的角色远不止背台词那么简单。你需要理解你的角色是谁、他们想要什么、以及他们为何那样行事。一个有用的方法是5W法：我是谁？我想要什么？我在哪里？什么时间？我为何这样做？

Practical techniques like hot-seating (answering questions in role) and creating a ‘role on the wall’ (drawing an outline of a character and writing inner thoughts inside, outside facts outside) help deepen characterisation.

例如坐针毡（以角色的身份回答问题）和墙上角色（画一个角色轮廓，内部写下内心想法，外部写下客观事实）等实用技巧，有助于加深角色塑造。

Think about your character’s objectives (what they want in a scene) and super-objective (what they want in the whole play). This gives purpose to every movement and line.

思考你角色的目标（在一场戏中想要什么）和最高任务（在全剧中想要什么）。这会让每一个动作和每一句台词都有目的。

7. Improvisation | 即兴表演

Improvisation (improv) is acting without a script. It helps build confidence, spontaneity, and creativity. In WJEC Drama, you will often use improvisation to explore characters, situations, and themes before moving to script work.

即兴表演就是没有剧本的表演。它有助于建立自信、自发性和创造力。在 WJEC 戏剧课程中，你常常会在进入剧本工作之前，用即兴表演来探索角色、情境和主题。

The most important rule of improv is ‘Yes, and…’. This means you accept what your partner offers (‘Yes’) and then add your own new idea (‘and’) to build the scene together. Never block an offer by saying ‘No’.

即兴表演最重要的规则是’是的，而且……’。这意味着你接受同伴给出的设定（’是的’），然后加入自己的新想法（’而且’），共同推进场景。千万不要用’不’来阻断对方的点子。

Listening is also crucial: you must truly listen to your scene partner so that you can respond naturally and keep the story flowing.

倾听同样至关重要：你必须真正地倾听场景伙伴，这样才能自然地回应，让故事持续流动。

8. Script Analysis Basics | 剧本分析基础

A script is the blueprint for a performance. You will learn to read and interpret scripts, paying attention to the dialogue, stage directions (usually written in italics or brackets), and character names.

剧本是表演的蓝图。你将学习阅读和解读剧本，注意对白、舞台指示（通常用斜体或括号书写）和角色名字。

When you first encounter a script, ask questions: What is the scene’s setting? What happened just before this moment? What is the relationship between the characters? Look for clues in the text, such as the way a character speaks or what others say about them.

第一次看到一个剧本时，要提出问题：这个场景的背景是什么？在此之前发生了什么？角色之间的关系是什么？要在文本中寻找线索，比如角色说话的方式，或者其他角色对他们的评价。

Understanding subtext—the meaning that exists beneath the spoken words—is a more advanced skill, but even in Year 7 you can begin to wonder: ‘What does my character really mean when they say that line?’

理解潜台词——台词背后隐含的意义——是一项较高阶的技能，但即使是在七年级，你也可以开始思考：’我的角色说那句台词时，到底是什么意思？’

9. The Role of Design in Drama | 戏剧中的设计元素

A memorable production relies on strong design work as much as on acting. Design elements create atmosphere, show time and place, and enhance the storytelling.

一部令人难忘的制作，不仅依靠表演，同样离不开出色的设计工作。设计元素可以营造氛围、展示时间和地点，并增强故事的叙述效果。

Key design areas include set (the physical environment on stage), props (items handled or used by actors), costume (what actors wear, reflecting character and period), lighting (colour, intensity, and direction to create mood and focus), and sound (music, sound effects, and ambient noise).

主要的设计领域包括布景（舞台上的实体环境）、道具（演员手中拿着或使用的物品）、服装（演员的穿着，反映角色和时代）、灯光（颜色、强度和方向，用来营造氛围和焦点）和音效（音乐、声响效果和环境音）。

In your lessons, you might be asked to design a simple costume or set for a scene, always justifying why you have made those choices.

在课堂上，你可能会被要求为一个场景设计简单的服装或布景，并且要始终说明你为何做出这样的选择。

10. Audience and Theatre Etiquette | 观众与剧场礼仪

Being a good audience member is a vital part of drama. When you watch your peers perform, your behaviour can either support or distract from their work.

成为一名好观众是戏剧活动中极为重要的一环。当你在观看同伴表演时，你的行为要么支持他们的付出，要么会让他们分心。

Good theatre etiquette includes arriving on time, turning off mobile phones, staying silent during the performance, not eating or drinking, giving full attention to the actors, and applauding appropriately at the end. Avoid whispering, fidgeting, or making comments.

良好的剧场礼仪包括：准时到场、关闭手机、演出期间保持安静、不吃东西不喝水、全神贯注于演员的表演，以及在结束时适时鼓掌。要避免窃窃私语、坐立不安或随意评论。

Remember that drama requires trust and respect. The energy you give as an audience directly impacts the performers’ confidence.

记住，戏剧需要信任和尊重。你作为观众所给予的能量，会直接影响表演者的自信心。

11. Exploring Different Genres | 探索不同戏剧类型

In Year 7, you will be introduced to a variety of dramatic genres, each with its own conventions and purposes. A genre is a category or style of drama.

在七年级，你会接触到多种多样的戏剧类型，每一种都有其独特的惯例和目的。类型指的是戏剧的一种类别或风格。

Common genres you might explore are comedy (designed to make the audience laugh, often featuring misunderstandings and exaggerated characters), tragedy (a serious story that ends sadly, dealing with suffering and downfall), musical theatre (storytelling through a combination of acting, singing, and dance), and physical theatre (where physical movement is the primary method of storytelling, rather than spoken text).

你可能学习到的常见类型有喜剧（旨在让观众发笑，常包含误解和夸张的角色）、悲剧（结局悲伤的严肃故事，主题关于苦难和衰落）、音乐剧（通过表演、歌唱和舞蹈结合来叙述故事）和肢体剧（以身体动作作为主要叙事方式，而非依赖台词）。

Understanding genre helps you make better performance and design choices because you know the intended effect on the audience.

理解戏剧类型能帮助你做出更好的表演和设计选择，因为你清楚对观众意图达到的效果。

12. Rehearsal Process | 排练过程

Creating a polished performance does not happen overnight. The rehearsal process is a journey from the first reading to opening night, and understanding its stages helps you work effectively.

打造一场精彩的演出并非一蹴而就。排练过程是从初次读本到首演之夜的一段旅程，了解其各个阶段能帮助你高效地工作。

A typical process begins with a read-through, where the cast reads the script aloud together. This is followed by blocking (deciding and practising movement on stage). Then the group works on developing characters, exploring motivations and relationships in more depth. Next, run-throughs test the flow of the entire piece without stopping, leading to a dress rehearsal (with full costumes, props, and technical elements). Finally, the performance is shared with an audience.

典型的排练流程起始于通读剧本，全组演员一起大声朗读。然后进行走位调度（决定并练习舞台上的移动）。接着，团队致力于角色发展，更深入地探索动机和人物关系。接下来是连排，从头到尾不间断地检验全剧的流畅性，然后进入带妆彩排（穿有全套服装，使用道具，配合所有技术元素）。最终，是为观众呈现的正式演出。

Reflect on your work after each rehearsal. What went well? What could be improved? This ability to evaluate your own and others’ work is a key skill assessed in WJEC Drama.

每次排练后都要反思你的表现。哪些地方做得好？哪些地方可以改进？这种评价自己和他人作品的能力，是 WJEC 戏剧考核中的一项关键技能。
