摘要

在包括表演艺术在内的注重审美的职业中,身体不满意可能尤为突出。然而,涉及男性戏剧表演者的研究却很少。本研究通过探讨男性音乐剧演员如何体验身体形象,弥补了这一缺失。研究人员对 7 名男性表演者进行了访谈,并采用反思性主题分析法对访谈内容进行了分析。研究结果表明,指导教师和训练环境对参与者的身体观念产生了持久的影响,参与者渴望通过增加肌肉来显示男性魅力,以及当他们认为自己的身体不符合僵化的性别观念和身体理想时产生的不满情绪。本研究还深入探讨了存在于有价值的身体中的细微体验,这种身体往往被商品化并出售给受众。这些发现凸显了在男性表演者中营造支持性培训环境和开启有关身体不满的对话的重要性。

“Awful Skinny Boys” – Male Musical Theatre Performers’ Experiences of Body Image: A Reflexive Thematic Analysis
Body dissatisfaction is likely to be particularly salient in aesthetically focused professions, including the performing arts. However, there is a paucity of research involving male theatre performers. This study addressed this omission by exploring how male musical theatre actors experience body image. Interviews were conducted with 7 male performers and analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Findings illustrate the lasting influence that instructors and the training environment have upon the participants’ perceptions of their bodies, participants’ desire to appear masculine through greater muscularity, and the dissatisfaction that occurs when they perceive that their bodies do not conform to rigid notions of gender and body ideals. This study also provides insight into the nuanced experience of existing within a body of worth, often commodified and sold to audiences. These findings highlight the importance of facilitating a supportive training environment and opening up conversations about body dissatisfaction among male performers.
