项目摘要

Folktales about fairies have become the province of children in modern British culture. Yet the success of works such as Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones and World of Warcraft has proved that other kinds of traditional tales still have power to enthral adult audiences and readers in today's world. Tolkien and Martin use European myth and legend to build their storyworlds with stunning success. Modern Fairies and Loathly Ladies will focus on the storyworld of British folk-tales and -songs about fairies and the supernatural, to explores how this material can be re-mediated by award-winning artists to be made relevant to modern audiences. Less-well-known and unusual stories involving fairies and the supernatural will be unearthed through archive research by Carolyne Larrington (Co-I). Larrington will present the tales, motifs and scenes from romance, folk-tale, ballad, and anecdote, recorded in Middle English, Latin and modern English in accessible forms, where necessary translating and glossing, so that the academic and obscure becomes relatable and vivid. Larrington will curate six folkloric themes: the fairy masculine; the fairy feminine, the changeling child, the shape-changing loathly lady, human experience in the fairy-world and the value of fairy treasure. Material relating to these themes will be presented to twelve world-class artists working in a range of different media, from folk musicians (including the PI, Fay Hield) and storytellers, to visual artists and poets. They will choose stories, scenes, and moments from the themes, and will work collaboratively to produce new songs, stories, poems and artworks based on the traditional material. Open notebooks, blogs and collaborative sharing will enable insight into the creative processes across different media while work is in progress.The new artworks produced will be performed to the public in six informal 'Gatherings' at Sage Gateshead. This performance format is open-ended and flexible, allowing artist and director responsiveness to individual audiences and the varying materials produced by the themes. One artist will take the lead in directing and curating each 'gathering'. A variety of art forms (music, painting, poetry, story-telling) will feature in every 'Gathering'; artist-audience interaction will be encouraged and invited. Programme notes of different types, and informal spoken introductions to themes will complement the artists' creations. Audience research will be carried out by Sarah Price (RA) using talk-based methods. The project leaders and their partners will be enabled to understand how audiences engage with new art drawing on traditional themes, how relevant they find folk-tale narratives and motifs to their own lives, what kinds of programme notes and other complementary materials enhance or detract from the audience experience, and how new audiences can be attracted and grown through local and traditional story mediation. Thus the project surfaces the experience and knowledge of creative artists in the work in progress stage and drills down into audience and performer experience through targeted qualitative interviews. In addition, this project represents a creative developmental phase for a future free-standing performance-based artwork, to be produced in collaboration with the Sage Gateshead. Moreover, the project tests the viability of 'gatherings' as a format for artistic development through performance.The inventive and responsive methodology, from source-research, through presentation to artists, creative composition and audience-engaged performance, to lasting outputs, will produce a new model for community-based arts interventions and experiences.

在现代英国文化中，关于仙女的民间故事已经成为儿童的专属。然而，《指环王》、《权力的游戏》和《魔兽世界》等作品的成功证明，在当今世界，其他类型的传统故事仍然具有迷住成人观众和读者的力量。托尔金和马丁利用欧洲神话和传说建立了他们的故事世界，取得了惊人的成功。《现代仙女》和《淫荡淑女》将聚焦于关于仙女和超自然的英国民间故事和歌曲的故事世界，探索这些素材如何由获奖艺术家重新调解，使之与现代观众相关。卡罗琳·拉林顿(Co-I)将通过档案研究挖掘出一些鲜为人知的关于仙女和超自然的不寻常故事。拉林顿将展示浪漫故事、民间故事、民谣和轶事中的故事、主题和场景，以中世纪英语、拉丁语和现代英语以通俗易懂的形式记录下来，必要时进行翻译和注解，使学术和默默无闻变得相关和生动。拉林顿将策划六个民俗主题：童话中的男性；童话中的女性，变化无常的孩子，变身的讨厌的女士，人类在童话世界中的经历，以及童话宝藏的价值。与这些主题相关的材料将展示给在各种不同媒体工作的12位世界级艺术家，从民间音乐家(包括PI、Fay Held)和讲故事的人，到视觉艺术家和诗人。他们将从主题中选择故事、场景和时刻，并将合作在传统材料的基础上创作新的歌曲、故事、诗歌和艺术品。开放的笔记本、博客和协作分享将使人们能够在工作进行的同时深入了解不同媒体的创作过程。新创作的作品将在圣人盖茨黑德举行的六次非正式会议上向公众展示。这种表演形式是开放的和灵活的，允许艺术家和导演对个别观众和主题产生的不同材料做出反应。一位艺术家将带头指导和策划每一次“聚会”。各式各样的艺术形式(音乐、绘画、诗歌、讲故事)将出现在每一次“聚会”中；艺术家与观众的互动将受到鼓励和邀请。不同类型的节目说明和对主题的非正式口头介绍将补充艺术家的创作。受众研究将由Sarah Price(RA)使用基于谈话的方法进行。项目负责人及其合作伙伴将能够了解观众如何参与借鉴传统主题的新艺术，他们认为民间故事叙事和主题与他们自己的生活有多大相关性，什么样的节目说明和其他补充材料增强或削弱了观众的体验，以及如何通过当地和传统故事调解来吸引和培养新的观众。因此，该项目将创意艺术家的经验和知识呈现在进行中的工作阶段，并通过有针对性的定性采访深入观众和表演者的经验。此外，这个项目代表着一个创造性的发展阶段，未来将与圣人盖茨海德合作制作一件独立的、基于表演的艺术品。此外，该项目还测试了“集会”作为一种通过表演发展艺术的形式的可行性。这种创造性和响应性的方法，从源头研究，到向艺术家展示，创造性的构图和观众参与的表演，再到持久的产出，将产生一种以社区为基础的艺术干预和体验的新模式。
