Abstract

Abstract The Japanese all-female musical theater company, Takarazuka Revue, uses stylized performance patterns (kata) to depict gender and character onstage. This artificial method, descended from Japan’s all-male Kabuki theater, differs from the assumed realism of contemporary Broadway method acting. Through a study of Takarazuka Revue’s adaptation of the Hollywood film Ocean’s 11, this article argues that Takarazuka Revue’s performance method complements the inherent artificiality of musical theater song and dance and encourages the creation of new works that expand the traditions of the early to mid-twentieth-century Broadway musical. This points toward a broader understanding of global musical theater performance practices.

罪恶之城的伊甸园:宝冢剧团音乐剧《十一罗汉》的改编

日本全女性音乐剧公司宝冢剧团(Takarazuka Revue)在舞台上使用程式化的表演模式(形)来描绘性别和角色。这种人为的表演方式源自日本全男性的歌舞伎剧场，不同于当代百老汇方法表演的假定现实主义。本文通过对宝冢剧团改编的好莱坞电影《十一罗汉》的研究，认为宝冢剧团的表演方法补充了音乐剧歌舞固有的人为性，并鼓励了新作品的创作，扩展了二十世纪早期到中期百老汇音乐剧的传统。这指向了对全球音乐剧表演实践更广泛的理解。

Dance Chronicle publishes research on a wide variety of Western and non-Western forms, including classical, avant-garde, and popular genres, often in connection with the related arts: music, literature, visual arts, theatre, and film. Our purview encompasses research rooted in humanities-based paradigms: historical, theoretical, aesthetic, ethnographic, and multi-modal inquiries into dance as art and/or cultural practice. Offering the best from both established and emerging dance scholars, Dance Chronicle is an ideal resource for those who love dance, past and present. Recently, Dance Chronicle has featured special issues on visual arts and dance, literature and dance, music and dance, dance criticism, preserving dance as a living legacy, dancing identity in diaspora, choreographers at the cutting edge, Martha Graham, women choreographers in ballet, and ballet in a global world.
