New members!

The second round of audition was over quite some time ago already. Last Sunday, an interview was held for the selected auditionees and i heard they were great!

Finally, our two "consultants" (KHLs) selected 7 new core members. Congrats to all of you! :D

So, plus the existing 4 of us, it makes up a total of 11. I think its a nice number. Cos its odd number, so it'd be easier to make a decision when it comes to time we have to vote.

Meeting up with the new members this friday, so exciting! Hope we'll have a great time working together :)

Will update more about progress of YIB soon. It's time to go study...

---------------------------------------------------------------

The Youth Expedition Project (YEP) has been a key programme to encourage volunteerism among our youth since its inception in 2000. YEP supports youth to embark on community service projects with the objectives of building up self-confident youth volunteers who can identify needs and contribute to the community both at home and abroad.

If you are between 17 – 35 years of age (or are able to lead people in this age group) and desire to make a difference in Singapore and abroad through YEP, here are some simple steps you can consider:

- Form a team of between 14 – 20 persons (recommended size)
- Select an experienced person project leader and facilitator, or volunteer as one
- Decide on one or two specific areas you wish to address and serve in (eg: education of children with special needs, or environmental data collection and public education on waste management)
- Decide on possible overseas and local projects relevant to your interest area
- Craft a proposal on the areas of learning for the YEP programme, including details on the pre and post expedition projects
- Get endorsement from the organisation you are representing
- Apply for the YEP funding online and attach required documents

关于艺树人

艺树人是本地剧场戏剧盒旗下的青年部，由12位充满热忱的年轻人组成的团体。我们希望能通过戏剧对各阶层的民众有更深入的了解和联系。

艺树人的创立是为了提供青年一个多方面训练的平台。通过三年的培训，艺树人希望能培育处一群拥有文化和社会意识的本地戏剧实践者。

我们使用一个名为O-A-O-R （ Orientation – Artistic – Organisation – Regeneration/ 定向 – 艺术性 – 组织 – 再生 ）的模式，让青年们得到的不仅是艺术方面的训练，也学习组织群体和制作管理的技能。除此之外，他们会接触到各种类的戏剧，例如论坛剧场、新闻剧场等等。他们同时还会接受其他艺术形体的培训，如音乐和多媒体。

除了提高社会问题的认识和讨论，艺树人希望能质问及挑战人们的思维，并改变大众对低下层或边缘族群的一些刻板观念，让单方向的独白转化成双方都能参与的对话。

2012 年将会是第一届艺树人青年的最后一年。我们将会在毕业前呈现一部作品，而灵感来至于高行健的《车站》。这作品会是艺树人培训三年来的精髓，也是我们对于原作和现今社会的反思。

About ARTivate

ARTivate - the youth wing of local theatre company Drama Box - is made up of a group of 12 passionate youths who aims to reach out to the community through the arts.

ARTivate was first established with the aim to provide a platform for youths who want to explore and gain all-rounded insight into theatre. Through a three-year program, ARTivate hopes to nurture a group of youths into cultured and socially aware theatre-practitioners in Singapore.

Using an O-A-O-R (Orientation-Artistic-Organization-Regeneration) model, these youths are trained not only artistically but also in organizational skills and production management. They will be exposed to different forms of theatre such as Forum Theatre and Newspaper Theatre. They will also be trained in other art forms such as music and multimedia.

Besides bringing awareness to the themes explored, ARTivators hopes to question, probe or even challenge minds. They want to engage audiences in discussion – to turn monologues into dialogues.

As 2012 will the last year of the pioneer batch of ARTivate youths, they will be putting up a piece of performance, Bus Stop, inspired by “Bus Stop” written by renowned playwright, Gao Xing Jian. This performance will be a collation of the trainings the youths had undergone for the past 3 years, as well as a critical perspective and evaluation of the script, in reference to the current society the youths are in.
