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。
