Every afternoon, an audience of aficionados of narrative performance, mainly people of senior age, flock together in the story houses 书场 (shu chang) in the city of Suzhou in southeastern China to sip tea and attend performances of Suzhou ping-tan 苏州评弹 (storytelling and story singing). In addition to speech and instrumentally accompanied song, gesture is one of the major tools of the performers. With vivid facial expressions, hand gestures and other physical expressive means storytellers enhance the impact of their performance, and bring alive the numerous (historical or classical) ping-tan tales about love, romance and heroism. This article explores – via analysis of film images and other data – how gesture in particular strengthens the art of ping-tan. It also looks at the nature of the audience’s involvement, and at how storytellers constantly take cues from listeners’ vocal and physical responses to increase their impact. With more than 14000 performances per year in Suzhou alone, ping-tan is a vibrant and popular genre in the lower Yangzi delta region. It will be argued that much of ping-tan’s on-going appeal is due to the lively performer-audience interaction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
