英国 DV8 肢体剧场（DV8 Physical Theater）1986 年由洛伊德纽森创立，是英国乃至世界知名的肢体剧团。舞蹈剧场于上世纪七十年代由皮娜·鲍什提出概念，将注意力从舞蹈的外在形式转为内在内容，而 DV8 剧团提出的肢体剧场概念，在皮娜鲍什的基础之上，将动作和戏剧更紧密的联系起来。在不断大胆试验下，从空间、视觉艺术、动作元素本身等各个层面上拓展了舞蹈的外延。除此之外，肢体剧场对于内容的注重，推动它更多的涉及敏感社会话题，包括了更多对于人本身的关注、质疑、思考。

  本文从 1990 年 DV8 的代表作品《清一色男人的垂死梦》(Dead Dreams Of Monochorme Men)出发，分为四个章节，从同性恋题材的叙述还原，到语的确立，男性形象气质的表现，再到作品表现风格，逐步深入探究这部作品的表达方式，研究作品成功的原因，为建立在现实题材上的舞蹈作品创作提供可借鉴的理论依据。

Founded in 1986 by Lloyd Newson, DV8 is one of the UK's and the world's leading physical theatre companies. Dance theater was proposed by Pina Pausch in the 1970s, which shifted the attention from the external form of dance to the internal content. DV8 Theater put forward the concept of body theater, on the basis of Pina Pausch, which connected movement and drama more closely. In the continuous bold experiment, from the space, visual art, movement elementsthemselves and other  aspects of the extension of the dance. In addition, the emphasis of body theater on content pushes it to involve more sensitive social topics, including more attention to, questioning and thinking about people themselves.

Starting from the representative work of DV8 in 1990, Dying Dream of All Men, this paper is divided into four chapters, from the narrative restoration of the homosexual theme, to the establishment of the vocabulary, the expression of the male image temperament, and to the expression style of the work. This paper explores the way of expression of the work step by step, and studies the reasons for the success of the work. It provides a theoretical basis for the creation of dance 2works based on realistic themes.
