芭蕾的歷史可溯至十六世紀的義大利，歷經五百多年不但風靡全世界更成為表演藝術的基礎，藝術家們也嘗試改編芭蕾舞劇，創作各種新的藝術作品。本研究透過內容分析法及問卷調查法，以古典芭蕾舞劇《胡桃鉗》中《雪花圓舞曲》所重構之《下雪了》為研究個案，整理了藝術家如何從古典芭蕾的藝術內涵，重新思考作品的藝術內涵後，重構作品形式的一個過程，最後由觀眾觀賞作品的問卷調查結果，來了解重構作品的成效與觀眾的觀賞體驗。本研究結果提供了一個古典芭蕾重新想像的作品重構模式，並由觀賞者對舞蹈藝術的觀賞體驗結果，提出相關的結論與建議。

The history of ballet can be traced back to 16th century Italy. This five-century old art form is not only popular around the world, it has also become the foundation of performance dance. Attempts to recreate the classics across dance and performing arts genres have been abundant as this historical art form continues to evolve. Using the example of the ‘Snowing’ dance reconstructed from the Nutcracker’s ‘Dance of the Snow Flakes’, through Content analysis and questionnaire survey, the essay investigates the choreographer’s interpretations on the intentions of classical ballet and the Nutcracker which lead to the reconstruction of the piece. Its findings offer a possible reconstruction model for reimagining the classics that may ignite new audience’ appreciation for classical ballet.
