| 摘要 | As he becomes involved in an activity, a performer may sometimes experience a moment of clarity in which he feels so sure of what he is doing that it is as if the activity performs itself. Such an experience can happen while playing football, dancing, skiing, or composing music. Because such a moment is so stimulating, productive, and joyous, one would, of course, like to reproduce it whenever one performs. Since the experience cannot be understood logically and is very difficult to even describe at all, reproducing it poses problems. A relatively recent psycho-neurological theory, however, may provide the beginning of an explanation. This study explores right brain/left brain theory in an attempt to understand how to bring to performance (in this case the oral performance of literature) the "right" brain's non-verbal, spontaneous, intuitive, spatial skills while employing the "left" brain's logical, sequential, verbal, analytic mode of processing information. Using Zen as an example of "right" brain consciousness, the dissertation explores the disciplined Zen approach as a possible way to spontaneous performance by freeing one's thinking. Five principles are distilled from an examination of books which use a Zen approach to such activities as golf, tennis, running, drawing, and karate. Application of these principles to oral interpretation of literature and to a Zen-oriented method of teaching oral interpretation follows. There are suggestions for the instructor who wishes to align his course completely along Zen lines and also suggestions for the instructor who wishes to experiment with Zen in his class on a limited basis. As performers, we must learn to execute a performance with our whole self. This study attempts to present a way to balance our "right" and "left" brain capabilities so that we can take steps toward unlocking hidden potential and can be receptive to that moment of clarity. |
