到回教堂的经验

好久没有人blog了！可能是因为大家前阵子都比较忙吧，我们也有一段时间没见面了。。。但是，最近我们又开始‘工作’了！接下来，我想艺树人应该会更忙了。等过一些日子，我们再告诉你们我们即将参与的活动/演出！

现在，让我告诉你我与其他四位艺树人在一个多月前所参与的回教徒活动！我们去了位于Muscat Street的苏丹回教堂，见证了回教徒的一些的仪式，也更了解了他们的习俗。其实，与其他的宗教一样，回教徒也有他们的基本信仰，他们的信仰包括信阿拉、信天使、信经典、信先知、信前定、信末日与死后复活等。回教也要履行五项义务。

一：不断念诵阿拉和穆罕默德之名
二：必须面对麦加跪拜、祈祷。
三：捐钱、物给教会，周济孤寡、不幸之人。
四：回历第九月为圣月，在此一月中，除病人、旅行者、孕妇、哺乳妇女、衰老者、战争中的士兵等外，所有的人每天必须禁水、禁食及禁止男女同房，仅仅限于白日。日落之后，饮食方可开始。
五：一个回教徒一生中，至少要去麦加朝圣一次。

这些都是比较表面化的资料，若想更了解回教的话，不妨到雅虎查查看，一定会获益不浅！

我们也与一些回教徒在日落后一起进食，这是一张我们在回教堂拍的照片。从照片中，我想你们都看得出，他们准备的食物真得很好吃！哈哈，看我们把食物吃得金光的。。。



喔，对了，忘了说，你们是否有察觉到我们都穿长袖长裤呢？其实这是对回教徒的一种尊重。要进入回教堂的人，不能穿得太‘露’，也不能穿鞋。幸好我们当天都有遵守他们的规定。

说真的，我们五位在那天都学了蛮多东西的。这对我们来说，也算是个新体验吧：）

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.
