Based on video-recordings of several weeks of rehearsals of a Japanese theater piece played by French actors, and adopting an ethnomethodological and conversation analytic perspective, this paper focuses on how the same few lines of a scene are subsequently enacted. In particular, it explores how the scene is played, not only in relation to the script but also to the situated moment-by-moment unfolding of embodied movements constituting the actions and achieving their detailed formatting and meaning. Whereas the dialogue refers to the scripted text, we argue that the multimodal details of each scene constitute a unique situated course of action achieved for ‘another first time,’ whose multimodal configuration depends on the temporality and the shape of each step, gesture, and body posture, as they are embodied and responded to in the vivid present and its contingencies. We demonstrate this by revealing how variations of the scene are performed, explored, and serendipitously found by the actors. We focus in particular on embodied details like walking, sitting, hugging and kissing, and the sequential and temporal positions at which they co-occur with the lines of the script. The analysis demonstrates both the indexicality of the script interpretations and the creative contingencies of the embodied work of the actors. In this way, it aims at contributing to current growing literature revisiting theater rehearsal as a situated activity and an interactional multimodal achievement.

基于对法国演员演奏的日本戏剧作品进行数周排练的录像，并采用民族方法论和对话分析的视角，本文重点研究了场景中相同的几行随后是如何上演的。特别是，它探讨了场景是如何播放的，不仅与剧本有关，而且与构成动作的具身动作的情境中的每时每刻展开以及实现其详细格式和意义有关。鉴于对话指的是脚本文本，我们认为每个场景的多模态细节构成了“另一个第一次”实现的独特情境行动过程，其多模态配置取决于每个步骤、手势和动作的时间性和形状身体姿势，因为它们在生动的当下及其偶然事件中得到体现和回应。我们通过揭示演员如何表演、探索和偶然发现场景的变化来证明这一点。我们特别关注具体细节，如行走、坐下、拥抱和亲吻，以及它们与剧本台词同时出现的顺序和时间位置。分析证明了剧本解释的索引性和演员具体工作的创造性偶然性。通过这种方式，它旨在为当前不断增长的文学作品做出贡献，重新审视剧院排练作为一种情境活动和一种互动的多模式成就。我们特别关注具体细节，如行走、坐下、拥抱和亲吻，以及它们与剧本台词同时出现的顺序和时间位置。分析证明了剧本解释的索引性和演员具体工作的创造性偶然性。通过这种方式，它旨在为当前不断增长的文学作品做出贡献，重新审视剧院排练作为一种情境活动和一种互动的多模式成就。我们特别关注具体细节，如行走、坐下、拥抱和亲吻，以及它们与剧本台词同时出现的顺序和时间位置。分析证明了剧本解释的索引性和演员具体工作的创造性偶然性。通过这种方式，它旨在为当前不断增长的文学作品做出贡献，重新审视剧院排练作为一种情境活动和一种互动的多模式成就。
