Recycling Day at AMK!

Yes, from the title you all can see we (Myra and I) went for the recycling day yesterday at AMK! It was held at some other places too, but AMK was the main venue. (Whats more, we live near there!) So yes, here goes:




the programme as follows.

the various events:


This is the Recycling Contest, in which the person/group/school who donated the MOST recyclable items (by weight) will win! And yes, so I happily brought like 10 cans and a stack of newspaper down, thinking it's quite alot already! BUT look at the school at the first place, oh my gosh, if you can see clearly, it says 1425kg (THATS ALOT!) i think it weighs more than 1000 times of what i brought. Shameful?


Me with my environmental friendly bag and the beautiful pull-up banners!


Myra with the panels



This is the Design-your-nicest-bag contest (not sure of the real title of this contest though). As you can see, you just have to design a bag and submit to them! and the winner has a prize too I think? Those bags, simple yet pretty! Whats more, there's a meaning behind these bags. Be environmental friendly, will you? :)




One of the booths we saw. We only took one photo and this is it. St Nicholas Girls' selling second hand soft toys, textbooks. Its sort of a flea market kinda thing. Myra and I went around other booths and had much fun. We played the games, talked to people and got to know "strangers" (hahaha) who told us where to take photos and discussed about games etc! For those games we played, we won 4 can drinks and an environmental friendly bag in total! :D



Then this is the colouring contest! Ahhh, so cute and pretty pretty :) Those are coloured by preschool kids! I dont think I can colour that well...



This is another colouring area? We didnt really watch what they were doing. All I know is that those kids (okay we cant see many in this photo) had alot of fun doing it!


There were many, many pull-up banners there! So I took a photo of it.


And a bigger version of one of it. It talks about Global warming, read it!


Yes, and this is obviously a must have at any event relating to environment! The Recycling Bank! Beside this Recycling Bank was the collection area where they weigh your recyclable items etc. For my 10 cans, I got for ourselves two can drinks! So in totol, we had 6 can drinks and an environmental friendly bag! What a great deal :P


Anyway, while we were at the Recycling Bank discussing about the event, we saw this. Myra was disgusted (?) cos she felt it was so contradicting. Look at it carefully. The Recycling Bank was only beside it, so why do people throw their plastic bottles in the dustbin? Sigh. A question to ponder about mankind...


Finally, an overview of the event. There were really many people! We had to queue up for some time to play the games! At least this is a comforting thing. People actually do care about the environment. Wait, or... rather should I say, maybe some of them were there only to win the prizes?


Okay, last photo to end off the day. Despite the crowd, the disgusting sight (those in the dustbins!) we had tremendous fun and learnt much through this event. Lets all be environmental friendly, yeah?

Save the Earth!

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.
