📚 Year 9 AQA Drama: Quick Reference Handbook of Formulas and Theorems | Year 9 AQA 戏剧：公式定理速查手册
This handbook transforms key Year 9 AQA Drama concepts into memorable formulas and theorems – a toolkit for creating powerful performance and design work.
这本手册将 Year 9 AQA 戏剧的关键概念转化为好记的公式与定理——是你创作有力表演与设计作品的工具箱。
1. The Core Character Equation | 核心角色方程式
Character = Objectives + Obstacles + Stakes
角色 = 目标 + 障碍 + 赌注
An objective is what the character wants in a scene; an obstacle is what stands in their way; the stakes are what they stand to gain or lose. The clash of these three forces drives all dramatic action.
目标是角色在某一场景中想要得到的东西；障碍是阻挡他们的力量；赌注则是他们可能获得或失去的东西。这三股力量的碰撞驱动着所有戏剧行动。
- Objective： ‘I need to convince my friend to stay.’
- 目标： “我需要说服朋友留下来。”
- Obstacle： ‘They have already bought a train ticket.’
- 障碍： “他们已经买了火车票。”
- Stakes： ‘If they leave, our friendship might end.’
- 赌注： “如果他们走了，我们的友谊可能就结束了。”
2. Stanislavski’s Given Circumstances Theorem | 斯坦尼斯拉夫斯基的“情境禀赋”定理
Every character action must be justified by the given circumstances of the play: time, place, relationships, and social background.
角色的每一个行动都必须由剧本的规定情境来合理化：时间、地点、人物关系和社会背景。
- Action： ‘I sit down slowly.’
- 行动： “我慢慢坐下。”
- Justification from circumstances： ‘Because I have just received shocking news and my legs feel weak.’
- 情境合理化： “因为我刚刚收到令人震惊的消息，双腿发软。”
3. The Magic If Principle | “魔术如果”原理
Stanislavski’s Magic If asks： ‘What would I do if I were in this character’s situation?’ It transforms pretend into truthful behaviour.
斯坦尼斯拉夫斯基的魔术如果问的是：“如果我处在角色的情境中，我会怎么做？” 它把假装转化成真实可信的行为。
- If I were Juliet seeing Romeo supposedly dead… I would gasp, freeze, then shake him.
- 如果我是朱丽叶，看见罗密欧好像死了…… 我会倒吸一口气，僵住，然后摇晃他。
4. Brecht’s Alienation Formula | 布莱希特的间离公式
Alienation (V-effekt) = Familiar action + Unexpected interruption
间离效果 = 熟悉的行为 + 意外的打断
Brecht wanted the audience to think critically, not feel passively. He broke the fourth wall, used placards, songs, or direct address to remind spectators they were watching a play.
布莱希特希望观众批判性地思考，而非被动地感受。他打破第四面墙，使用标语牌、歌曲或直接对观众说话，提醒他们正在看戏。
- An actor steps out of character and says： ‘Do you think it was right for him to lie?’
- 演员跳出角色说道：“你们觉得他撒谎是对的吗？”
5. The 5-Part Story Structure Theorem | 五部曲叙事结构定理
Most scripts follow this sequence： Exposition → Rising Action → Climax → Falling Action → Resolution
多数剧本遵循这一序列：开端 → 推进 → 高潮 → 缓解 → 结局
- Exposition： We meet the characters and setting.
- 开端： 我们认识角色和背景。
- Rising Action： Conflicts build, tensions rise.
- 推进： 冲突累积，张力上升。
- Climax： The turning point, highest intensity.
- 高潮： 转折点，强度最大。
- Falling Action： Consequences unfold.
- 缓解： 后果展开。
- Resolution： New balance is established.
- 结局： 新平衡建立。
6. The Vocal and Physical Formula | 声音与肢体语言公式
Performance = (Pace + Pitch + Volume + Tone) × (Gesture + Posture + Gait + Facial Expression)
表演 = (语速 + 音高 + 音量 + 语气) × (手势 + 姿势 + 步态 + 面部表情)
The vocal elements convey thought, while the physical elements reveal emotion; the product creates a complete character on stage.
声音元素传达思想，肢体元素流露情感；两者相乘，在舞台上创造出完整的角色。
7. Lighting Design Principle | 灯光设计原理
The function of light is remembered by SIMFS： Selective focus, Intensity, Mood, Form, Setting.
灯光的功能可用SIMFS记忆：选择性聚焦、强度、情绪、造型、环境。
- Selective focus： A spotlight isolates a performer.
- 选择性聚焦： 追光孤立一个演员。
- Intensity： Bright light suggests daytime or hope.
- 强度： 明亮的光暗示白天或希望。
- Mood： Red wash creates anger or danger.
- 情绪： 红色铺光制造愤怒或危险。
- Form： Side lighting reveals body shape and texture.
- 造型： 侧光展现身体形状和质感。
- Setting： Gobo patterns indicate a forest or window.
- 环境： 图案片投射出森林或窗户的纹理。
8. Sound Design Equation | 音效设计方程
Sound = Diegetic sounds + Non-diegetic sounds + Silence
声音 = 剧情内声响 + 剧情外声响 + 静默
Diegetic sound comes from the world of the play (a doorbell ringing on stage). Non-diegetic sound is added for the audience only (background music). Silence can be the loudest statement of all.
剧情内声响来自戏剧世界内部（如台上的门铃响了）。剧情外声响只为观众而加（如背景音乐）。静默有时是最响亮的表态。
9. The Tension Formula | 戏剧张力公式
Tension = Expectation – Information
张力 = 预期 – 已知信息
The less the audience knows about what will happen, yet the more they care, the higher the tension. Playwrights drip-feed information to keep us on edge.
观众对即将发生的事知道得越少、却越在乎，张力就越高。剧作家像挤牙膏一样透露信息，让我们坐立不安。
10. The Staging Theorem | 舞台调度定理
Blocking = Proxemics + Levels + Stage areas
舞台调度 = 人际距离 + 高度层次 + 舞台区位
- Proxemics： Intimate distance creates tension, public distance suggests alienation.
- 人际距离： 亲密距离制造紧张，公共距离暗示疏远。
- Levels： A character standing higher often has more power.
- 高度层次： 站得更高的角色通常更具权力。
- Stage areas： Centre stage is most commanding; downstage connects with audience.
- 舞台区位： 舞台中心最引人注目；台口位置与观众最有连接感。
11. The Rehearsal Theorem | 排练定理
Great performance = Technique × Repetition + Ensemble trust
出色表演 = 技术 × 重复练习 + 团队信任
Rehearsal is where formulas become instinct. It is a laboratory to test choices, not a race to be off-book. Trust in the ensemble allows risk-taking.
排练是让公式变为本能的地方。它是一个检验选择的实验室，而不是一场脱稿的竞速。对团队的信任让人敢于冒险。
12. The Evaluation Theorem | 评价定理
Effective evaluation = Describe + Analyse + Evaluate (DAE)
有效评价 = 描述 + 分析 + 评价 (DAE)
When writing about your own work or that of others, first describe what you saw or did, then analyse the effect using the vocabulary of drama, finally evaluate how successful the moment was.
在评价自己或他人的作品时，首先描述你看到或做了什么，然后用戏剧词汇分析其效果，最后评价这一时刻有多成功。
