《 城S 》
2009年7月
《城S》是艺树人首个以集体创作的方式完成的作品也是艺树人经过一年演员及编剧培训后的首个演出。在集体创作引导者郭庆亮和导演许婉婧的指导下,艺树人尝试了各种即兴表演,经过不断的试验剧本才达到了令人满意的成果。
《城S》以新加坡社会和现今高度融合及环球化的世界作为语境,对城市包容性的概念进行探索。
剧中的故事呈现城市的各个面向并由一系列的行李箱奏鸣曲所串连。行李箱奏鸣曲象征了一个旅程,让大家通过这个旅程反思多数人如何建构与看待社会中的意识形态。
在剧中,转制的体制,不和谐的状况,受歧视,被限制,被异化,被压抑等诸如此类的现实情况将被正视。多数人所作的决定能代表少数人的意见吗?在这场力争上游的竞赛中,精英又是否会考虑到一般老百姓的福利呢?你的言行举动是出自你的本意又或是受到其他人的影响?
艺树人希望观众能够通过观赏此剧重新思考真正具有包容性的城市所蕴含的意义再回答自己这些问题。
由艺树人集体创作和演出, 郭庆亮担任集体创作引导者, 许婉婧(戏剧盒艺术工作伙伴)导演.
*演出主要以中文进行。(提供英文字幕)

CityS
July 2009
Part of a double-bill during
Singapore Drama Educators Association (SDEA) Celebrate Drama 2009
“CityS” is ARTivate’s first devised play. It is also ARTivate’s debut presentation following a year-round capacity-building process, during which the ARTivators underwent a series of training involving acting and playwrighting.
It is conceived and brought to satisfactory theatrical fruition by the collaboration of all ARTivators via a gradual process and accumulation of brainstorming and improvisation, under the guidance of devising facilitator Kok Heng Leun and director Koh Wan Ching.
“CityS” explores the concept of an inclusive city, in Singapore’s context, and in the context of our current highly integrated, globalised world.
In this play, stories from different aspects of a city are connected by a series of luggage sonatas which symbolizes a journey that questions the ideology constructed and perceived by majority of the society. Realities are confronted: autocracy, disharmony, discrimination, limitations, alienation, oppression and the likes. Does the decision of the majority always account for the minority? Will the elites ever consider the welfare of their downtown folks in this race to the top? Is that action you took out of free will or under the influence of others?
ARTivate hopes that audiences will reconsider the meaning of a truly inclusive city after watching the play and in turn, answer these questions for themselves.

《嘘… 审查:论坛剧场演出》
2010年9月
为了提高人们对审查制度的意识并让大家了解审查如何渗透生活,这个演出原本准备使用具象征性的舞台设计并进行现场音乐伴奏,冲破语言和种族的障碍让观众发现审查的力量。演出以5个小品组成,是艺树人经过5个月严密训练创作的结晶。
然而,距离演出仅剩三周的时候,新加坡媒体发展局告知我们户外表演执照不被批准。由于短剧探讨”敏感”课题,当局要求演出必须附上“含有成人议题”的说明并声称只有在室内演出,才能有效地执行说明。
因此,我们最后决定取消原本的演出,重新创作另一出论坛剧场来探讨在重要的课题上保持沉默,或刻意隐瞒实情所带来的诸多问题,而这些问题又如何导致沟通、对话上的断层。

郭庆亮, 与
艺树人联合创作

shh… censorship: a forum theatre performance
September 2010
This forum theatre performance is a wordless piece that comprises of 5 short pieces. Using a symbolic set design, and featuring live music accompaniment by ARCN TEMPL, this performance hope to transcend language and racial barriers, leading its viewers in discovering the power of censorship, with the aim of creating awareness in the communities about how censorship affects their daily lives.
However, just 3 weeks from our performance, MDA denied us of an outdoor performance license. The authorities gave an advisory for mature content due to the “sensitive nature” of the topics discussed, and claimed that we had to perform indoors in order to administer the advisory.
We stand by our position that the piece should be performed outdoors to reach as diverse a crowd as possible and believe that the issue of censorship should still be addressed. Therefore, we decided to withdraw the original piece from our programme, and replaced it with a new Forum Theatre performance, which discussed the problems of imposing silence and withholding information about important issues.
Devised and performed by ARTivate, this performance is the result of five months of training in Forum Theatre.
Comprising of five short pieces, imploring you to join us in discovering the power of censorship.

Kok Heng Leun, co-created with
