Screening of Sharkwater - Awareness Raising Project by RGS students

hey, from Beng Chiak :)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Colleagues & friends,

Special Screening of Sharkwater, the movie, for students, teachers & their family, on 7 March, Friday at 3.15pm, Lido 3, Shaw Centre

Please consider supporting the above awareness raising project by a group of Raffles Girls' School students.

Attached below is a letter from the students.
Thank you for your time and attention & hope to see you and your students at the screening.

Cheers,
Beng Chiak

We are a team of 25 Year 3 students from Raffles Girls’ School (Secondary) who are interested in the protection of sharks. Our team, CodeDorsalRed, aims to educate the public on the threats the sharkfin industry poses to the shark population. We would like to raise awareness on shark conservation issues through the screening of the movie Sharkwater.

Sharkwater is an award-winning documentary by Rob Stewart which brings us to the last few strongholds of sharks to explore how the hunters of the sea have become the hunted. There, they find unbelievable mistreatment of the sharks due to the rising demands in the sharkfin industry. The plight of the sharks which are close to extinction is succinctly portrayed in this moving film; further, the film eloquently conveys the stark consequences of the looming demise of the sharks, for instance, the tipping of the marine ecosystem which would eventually affect the balance of life on earth.

We have been deeply moved and inspired by this film and would like to offer the opportunity to your students to view this movie too. As the run of this movie is over, we have made special arrangements to screen the movie just for your students, staff and their family members on 7 March, Friday at 3.15pm at Lido 3. We hope that the movie would inspire students and draw the public’s attention to the current issue at hand. Hopefully, this can lead to greater and more substantial action in shark conservation.

Tickets would cost $6 per person. If your school wishes to participate in this activity, please provide details using the attached booking form and send it to our Teacher-Mentor, Ms. Tan Beng Chiak, at chiak@rgs.edu.sg or fax to 62353731 by Wednesday, 5 March 2008. Payment can be made via cheque addressed to "Raffles Girls' School (Secondary)" or in cash on 7 March 2008 at the entrance of Lido 3 from 2.30pm.

More information about the movie can be found at the film’s official website, http://www.sharkwater.com.
On our part, we firmly believe that it is by our actions of showing support for worthy causes such as the conservation of the marine ecosystem that we truly become members of the global citizenry.
Thank you for your kind attention and we hope to have your support.

Yours truly,
CodeDorsalRed

過了一個冷冷的年，氣溫正隨著季節的更迭而緩緩爬昇，您感受到越來越溫暖的天氣了嗎？

推廣計畫
當初成立劇團初衷，只想自娛娛人，讓團員有彼此互相照顧的能量。但在應一些社福團體（生命線、主愛之家、偏遠學校）的邀請，及看到弱勢團體（單親、隔代教養、失親、文化不利、藥酒癮者）之需要之後，我們也開始思索未來服務的方向…..

以戲劇貼近人心，表達對人性的關懷
—專訪「悅萃坊劇團」負責人高伃貞

高伃貞，台北人。英國EXTER大學藝術創造教育-戲劇教育碩士，美國「一人一故事劇場（Playback Theatre）」學校畢業，現任「悅萃坊劇團」負責人。
我自己是透過戲劇發現自己、探索人生很多有趣的議題、探索世界進而接納自己，活的更開心、快樂，很多的收穫是學員教我的，讓我很感恩。或許我希望影響別人這個部份，而現在我比較會的就是運用戲劇這個工具，這是機緣，我想可以把戲劇玩的淋漓盡致。不過我覺得每個人的方式不同，不一定要透過戲劇來達到這個目的，戲劇也不是唯一途徑。 ……(整理／趙懷玉)

(上篇) 為何以劇場工作為職業？回國後的戲劇工作？

(下篇) 對未來的計畫？希望透過戲劇帶來什麼？從事劇場工作遇到的困難、最被吸引的、最有成就感的是什麼？對於社區劇場在台灣發展的看法？戲劇對妳而言是什麼？

●應用劇場文章分享
萬佩萱：「民眾劇場的追尋(下)」

我，從2003年接觸民眾劇場就著實被"它"開放、尊重的特質和戲劇本身所引發的能量吸引著；那股力量推動我一面探尋它的源頭，一面試探在不同年齡、性別、職業人們的身上是否造成不同或限制？結果自然是迷人的。當我探索得更多、更深之後，我就更清楚地知道"它"可以是一個幫助個人自我發現與社會和諧發展的好工具和媒介；對不同領域的NGO工作人員或社區總體營造的夥伴更是如此。

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.
