Abstract

This study documents the creative process of experimenting with Asian classical performance systems and adapting them for contemporary staging. The paper investigates the processes of borrowing in contemporary performances and develops a model of this type of contemporary staging called the EICP (Exploration, Improvisation, Choreography, and Performance) Model. The paper talks about how actors, who aren't familiar with Asian traditional arts, are trained, stressing the importance of repetition in learning movements and understanding their deeper meanings. The study concludes that creative artists need to be careful and conscious in the process of borrowing forms and acknowledges the difficulties and rewards of experimenting with this kind of creative work, highlighting the need for careful consideration and adaptation in the borrowing process to make a meaningful modern performance.
