2011平台剧场新导演计划 公开征集

2011平台剧场新导演计划
Pentas Emerging Theatre Artists Program 2011
公开征集
截止日期: 2011年3月21日
Supported by : HSBC

纵观马来西亚目前中文剧场的发展,除了中学生戏剧比赛以外,几乎很少有机会看到新人导演的出现。虽然近一年来,从国外回流的戏剧系毕业生越来越多,但这些毕业生回来以后,却鲜少有机会发挥自己的专长,更别论拥有一个发表自身作品的舞台。

一座城市的人文涵养,以及一个素质国家的养成,有赖于艺术与文化的建设。平台计划的成员多属青壮辈。但平台计划更乐于见到,马来西亚的中文剧场,可以更百花齐放。年轻人的创意,很多时候是难以预估,难以想象的。

因此,平台计划策划了「平台剧场新导演计划」,希望能够尽一点绵力,鼓励更多年轻的创作人,或苦侯多年却等不到一个舞台,蓄势待发的创作人,能无后顾之忧地重新出发发表新的剧场作品。平台计划希望能够秉持着我们创团的理念,为艺术工作者提供一个开放的平台。「平台剧场新导演计划」希望能够长期性地永续经营,培育新的导演和新的剧场工作者,提升中文剧场在本地,甚至国际上的竞争力。

平台计划乐于看到多元创意的璀璨成果。平台计划也希望「平台剧场新导演计划」能够引起抛砖引玉的作用,吸引更多年轻的创作者重新投入剧场的怀抱,创作出更多元,更百花齐放的剧场演出。

2010年,李奕翰导演的《Blind Love》入选「平台剧场新导演计划」,并在平台空间举行了总共4场的演出。2011年,平台计划再度启动「平台剧场新导演计划」,希望能够看见更多属于年轻人的创意。
