有一些迟了，但还是想分享一下。
在戏剧盒白色空间《新剧季2009》的一系列活动中，我参与了香港著名编剧潘惠森的讲座《潘惠森的戏剧世界》，《潘惠森编剧工作坊》和《编剧的视野》论坛会。

就不说一些学到的编剧技巧了。
从一开始接触戏剧，我就被剧场的魅力深深吸引。 那种空间和时间随时的转化，那种舞台上的变化莫测，那种既真实又虚幻的感觉，都是我持续参与剧场的理由。
加入艺树人后，想法产生了微妙的变化。经过这两天的‘洗礼’，我对于创作这一回事的态度有了改变。
不止一次了，潘惠森不断强调语言在剧场里的重要性。语言有节奏，有质感，有层次，有音乐性，而最重要的是要生活化。这样才能比较贴近观众的心，才能真实地反映人生。
问一问，写了50个剧本的他，灵感究竟从何而来？问一问，他的剧本究竟是为谁而写？
生活。
简单的两个字，概括了编剧的一切。
记得，在《城S》的排练过程中，导演婉婧也曾说过 "Life before Theatre"。
那句话，对我的影响，很重。
潘惠森，我觉得，是一个很特别的人。
在新加坡的这几天，每一次的活动，他都是步行而来。每天早晨，他也都会绕着clarke quay一带晨跑。
的确，感觉上他是一个很健壮的人。
但我想，更大的程度上，这也让他有机会看一看周遭的人事物，呼吸一下这城市尽可能新鲜的空气，感受生活。
灵感，自然源源不绝。
以前的我，也一样，很喜欢走路。看一看这城市的动态，看一看没人理睬的花草，看一看各自精彩的生活。
这也常常给我很大的灵感 - 在创作上，在人生中。
但许多时候，我们必须完成一些，与生俱来的责任。所以，在巴士迅速闪过的许多风景中，即便有我想抓住的任何时刻，也只是过眼云烟。
我想，我没有勇气卸下责任。毕竟，那也是生活的一部分。
但，我会更努力地活着。
因为，生活会是我持续创作的理由。
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.

《 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
