安特·汉普顿

安特·汉普顿自1999年以来的现场表演与剧场创作始终聚焦于引导表演者与观众共同进入未经排练的情境与互动关系。他的作品常运用预录音频或自动化装置，探索固定形式结构与即兴临场反应之间的张力。

2007年起，其创作延伸至观众自身的参与——这一流派后来发展为知名的“自助剧场”（Autoteatro），通常采用小规模亲密互动形式，有时结合特定场域（如《礼仪》中的咖啡馆，《寂静之书》中的图书馆阅览室）。他的演出至今已以80余种语言版本全球巡演，某些作品甚至无需人员流动——这种对“在场性”艺术理念的悖反，促成了他近年倡导的研究项目“ShowingWithoutGoing.live”。

近年，他通过“自助工作坊”《事物》（The Thing）等作品，更深入探索极端信任、冒险与“信仰之跃”的关系。2023年他与大卫·贝尔热（David Bergé）共同创立“时间载体出版社”（Time Based Editions），推出结合印刷与音频的“动态书籍”。他长期合作的艺术家包括克里斯托夫·梅尔汉斯（Christophe Meierhans）、布里特·哈修斯（Britt Hatzius）、格特-扬·斯塔姆（Gert-Jan Stam）等。《规画之外》（Not to Scale）是他与蒂姆·埃切尔斯（Tim Etchells）的第三次“自助剧场”合作。

Ant Hampton

Ant Hampton’s work since 1999 in live performance and theatre has had a consistent focus guiding performers and audiences through unrehearsed situations and interactive relations. His work often involves recorded audio or other automated devices to explore the tension between fixed formal or structural elements and what has to be lived and negotiated in the moment. Around 2007 his practice developed to include the audience themselves - a strand of work that became known as Autoteatro, usually involving small-scale and intimate formats, sometimes site-specific, eg in cafes for Etiquette, or library reading-rooms for The Quiet Volume. His performances, which continue to tour internationally in over 80 language versions, occasionally require no-one to travel; a paradoxical outcome (for an art committed to liveness and presence) which in turn informed his recent advocacy and research project, ShowingWithoutGoing.live In more recently years his practice has expanded into a wider investigation of radical trust, risk-taking and leaps of faith, most obviously via his “automatic workshop” The Thing. In 2023 he launched Time Based Editions with David Bergé, a series of “live books” combining print and audio. He has collaborated often with other artists, including Christophe Meierhans, Britt Hatzius, Gert-Jan Stam, Ivana Müller, Anna Rispoli and Edit Kaldor. Not to Scale is Ant’ s third “Autoteatro” collaboration with Tim Etchells.
