碩士 === 國立臺灣藝術大學 === 舞蹈學系 === 103 === In this research, the discussion focus is based on the analysis of the production process on 〈Wish You Were Here〉, a 2015 graduation production which the researcher had involved in. 〈Wish You Were Here〉 is the graduation performance which the researcher has produced for Master of Fine Arts degree in the Dance Department, National Taiwan University of Arts. The performance uses memories as the theme in expression of the thoughts for old times and the yearning for old friends in the past. The researcher’s intention is to lead the audience into the atmosphere of past memories and thoughts through the plot design of each section, the developmental layout of imagery movements, the performance integration from audience interaction, and using ‘probability’ as a concept for dance movement development. The researcher takes a creative approach by using improvisation as a production method to be the relationship development between objects and bodies. Through the performance method of “environmental theater", the researcher makes the connection between the dance works and the environment. This research uses the qualitative research as a method. Through the show production, the content, form, writing and the rehearsal process of 〈Wish You Were Here〉have been thoroughly analyzed in a great detail. The content of this article is also a summary of references from relevant literatures on environmental theater and happening art. Through continuous reviews and consolidations, the process of the performance production was eventually put into text. Exploring the meaning of this work of art from various aspects is beneficial to oneself. During this research writing process, the researcher had not only reconsidered one’s own production process but also rearranged, summarized and transformed the performance into text form. Moreover, the researcher had explored different aspects of her own work. The dilemma faced during reflection and the lack of adequacy are what the researcher hopes to conquer and improve on the road of creation in the future. For one thing, the researcher has demonstrated the learning outcome of the graduate studies through this study with the creativity displayed on choreography and by the practice of dance. For another, the researcher wishes to clarify the direction of the personal choreographic style through this analysis. In addition, any flaw or deficiency from the review of the production process will be amended in the future creation. In conclusion, with the exploration of the connecting relationship between self and this work, the researcher ultimately expects herself to find her own path in the journey of choreography in the future.
