Throughout the many centuries of history from the Bronze Age culture of the Shang dynasty (1766-1154 BC) until today, dance and other forms of movement have continually played a significant role in Chinese theatrical presentation. Historical research on the development of traditional Chinese theatre forms often focuses on activity that has lead to the creation of drama. The earliest eras, although rich in performance activity, have been neglected because links to the evolution of dramatic literature have not been immediately apparent. Yet, these dynasties have fathered performance activity which was significantly employed in theatrical presentation.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Throughout the many centuries of history from the Bronze Age culture of the Shang dynasty (1766-1154 BC) until today, dance and other forms of movement have continually played a significant role in Chinese theatrical presentation. Historical research on the development of traditional Chinese theatre forms often focuses on activity that has lead to the creation of drama. The earliest eras, although rich in performance activity, have been neglected because links to the evolution of dramatic literature have not been immediately apparent. Yet, these dynasties have fathered performance activity which was significantly employed in theatrical presentation.
520 $a It is the aim of this study to describe and analyze characteristics of theatrical movement used in the the earliest eras of Chinese civilization. Most specifically, staged movement performance of the Zhou (1066-221 BC), Qin (221-206 BC), and Han (206 BC-AD 220) dynasties will be examined.
520 $a Four areas of Zhou performance is discussed: shamanic ritual, court dance, jester activity, and theatricalized combat. Qin and Han forms are divided into five areas: shamanic presentation, animal mummery, circus and parade activity, court dance, and jester activity and physical slapstick.
520 $a It is important to consider the overall schema of presentation in order to determine what part movement plays in the total performance, as well as to consider what other aspects of performance affect physical activity. The conclusion of each chapter summarizes and analyzes movement activity of each form. In this section, the overall environment customarily encountered in each performance activity is analyzed in four sections; origin and performance function, training and organizational structure, audience, and performers and performance technique.
