本文探討劇場表演中構成符號的元素以及與表演的呼應，透過自我身為影響‧新劇場兒童劇《啾咕啾咕──海‧天‧鳥傳說》演員的角度，採敘說探究的研究方法，探討演員的肢體動作在兒童劇場演出的象徵意涵及其轉換。本文的研究認為，兒童劇場的演出可朝向肢體象徵以及簡單物件的比喻方式呈現，亦可達到劇場藝術美學及誘發兒童對想像力的學習。在家長、觀眾及專業同儕皆認同肢體象徵的表演形式下，兒童也於戲後將劇場中所看到及學習到的象徵形式表現在日常生活中，本文因此認為兒童劇場的形式可由象徵式肢體及象徵物件的方向來開創更多樣的呈現手法，藉此可以有更富創造力和想像力的多元方式，來展現兼具美感與教育意涵且適合親子同賞的作品。

In this study, as an actor in the New Visions New Voices Theatre Company's play for young audiences- ＂Jiu Gu: Legend of the Sea, Sky and Birds＂, I explore the play through the method of narrative inquiry, and discuss the meanings and the values of children theatre's existence, its possible performance forms, and the changes of my thoughts in the process of joining the Jiu Gu play. This study proposes that the new and multiple forms of children's theatre can be created and presented with symbolic objects, script structure and theatre space. The ideal theatrical forms for children and their parents can be presented in manifold styles to inspire children's creativity and imagination, to offer aesthetics, and to fulfill educational functions.
