以外 something else

「以外」論壇系列旨在討論當代劇場、表演、藝術的課題和新意念。傳統學科、藝術範疇和類型的界線已經變得模糊，當代藝術創作亦不再局限於單一的方法論或傳統演化。透過不同藝術從業者的分享，揭示他/她們各自的關注點、挑戰及創新方法。通過從概念到實驗性實踐，從中剖示不同擴闊創作思維的可能。

首場論壇「沉思劇場創作」將集中探討概念，包括——從打破層級思維和方法，到跨域、跨媒介創作的實踐，以及探索各自獨特的構作起點與方法。破格的創作人們將分享他/她們在拓闊劇場創作的實踐與理念。

我們亦邀請了幾位不同範疇藝術從業者擔任觀察員，以不同角度和參照點作切入，進行討論，探索劇場創作新思維。什麼能激發思考，挑戰規範？通過開放交流，我們希望激發創作的新視角與能量。

The “Something Else” Forum Series aims to discuss contemporary issues and ideas shaping theatre, performance and art. Traditional boundaries between disciplines, art forms and genres are blurred considerably. Contemporary creation defies singular methodologies or traditions. Through sharing by rule-breaking practitioners, we seek to uncover their concerns, challenges and innovative approaches. By re-examining their processes from ideation to experimental practices, they reveal their creative processes and concepts.

The first forum, “Muses for Theatre-making”, focuses on varied conceptions – from breaking hierarchical thinking and ways of making, to integrating cross-disciplinary influences and media in practice, and to exploring unique dramaturgical and construction methods. Practitioners with outside-the-box mindsets will share their ideas for expanding theatrical practices.

We also invite observers of diverse practices to respond to the sharing and to offer different perspectives and references for discussion to generate new ways in approaching theatre-making. What catalyzes practitioners to challenge norms? By facilitating open dialogues, we hope to invite new perspectives and synergy for exciting creations.

創作起手式 Before Anything Else
馮程程 Vee Leong (劇場創作人Theatre-maker)

馮程程有一個意念，想開始創作。但她不想理所當然的為這個意念虛構一個故事，即使她頗肯定自己將要做出一個劇場作品。在虛構之前，在戲劇化之前，她想還有什麼方式可以接住這個意念，深入這個意念，找出通往一個劇場作品成形之路？如果一開始她不是由自身崗位（例如編劇、導演）開始發想，她還可以想像實踐出別種創作的模樣嗎？而所謂劇場作品，又會不會因為她的繞路而發展出別種非典型的呈現？是次分享馮程程會回溯多個作品的起點，暢談種種奇招第一式。

Vee Leong will revisit the first steps of art making for some of the interdisciplinary theatre works, which employ a kind of dramaturgy that ‘delays’, first, the conventional positionality of a playwright or director； and second, the fictionalising or dramatisation of an idea into a story. In expanded theatre practices, what are some of the possibilities to start a creative project idea?

「場域構作」式思考創作 Scenographic Thinking to Sense-making/Making sense
黎蘊賢 Orlean Lai (策劃、製作及創作人 Curator, Producer and Creator)

嘗試以「場域構作」（一般將 Scenography譯作「劇場美學」）作為切入，檢視orleanlaiproject 及 No Discipline Limited過往的一些製作，淺談從概念（非文本或故事）主導，去塑造感知體驗及意義的劇場創作的另一些可能。

What it means by taking scenographic thinking as an approach in theatre-making? By reflecting on a few productions of orleanlaiproject and No Discipline Limited as example, Orlean Lai will discuss on other possible ways in sense-making and making sense in a concept-driven (non-text based or story driven) theatre creation and beyond.

裝置先定表演先？The Chicken or The Egg?
林欣傑 Keith Lam (媒體藝術家及策展人 Media Artist and Curator)

究竟表演式裝置定裝置式表演？從事裝置藝術創作的跨域和表演藝術合作，兩組藝術家甚至和台燈聲設計師是如何協調甚至共同創作？林欣傑以過往在不同崗位上的一些作品為例，分享與表演藝術跨域合作中遇到的激發和矛盾，以及當科技成為噱頭卻又為藝術家帶來機會的現實掙扎和著數。

Is it a performance installation or an installation performance? How do the two groups of artists and even the stage lighting and sound designers coordinate and even co-create when they are engaged in the cross-disciplinary collaboration between installation arts and performing arts? Taking some of Keith Lam’s past works in different positions as examples, he will share the excitement and contradictions encountered in such cross-disciplinary collaborations with performing arts, as well as real-life struggles and difficulties when technology becomes a gimmick but offers him more opportunities.

從‘讀 able’去考慮創作 The Complexity of Making Something Readable
陳偉洛 Chan Wai-lok (編舞及表演者 Choreographer & Performer)

作為創作者，陳偉洛對如何寫、如何被閲讀有強烈興趣，意思並不是去完全掌握作品的詮釋的權利，而是如果建立一個語境或態度令讀者可以在被設計的語境中理解創作者的思考，從而可以作出思考上的認同或反駁。在是次分享會中，他會談及在處理觀眾關係上的一些策略，其中包括利用兩方關係由角力到同行的光譜和透過改變表演狀態來使觀眾活用不同閲讀目的，分享一些工具使他能與他的觀眾進行交流。

As a creator, Chan Wai-lok is much interested in how to write and how to be read. It does not mean that the creator has to keep the right in controlling the interpretation of the work, but it is about constructing a context that enables the audience to understand the creator’s thinking so as to agree with the creator or argue between them. In this sharing, Chan will talk about certain strategies in tackling the audience relationship, they include the power struggle in-between with a spectrum from wrestling to walking together, to the changes in the state of performance to motivate the audience to adapt and adjust with different reading/perceiving modes, and sharing certain tools to facilitate the exchange between the creator and the audience.

黎蘊賢 Orlean Lai

先後成立 orleanlaiproject 及 No Discipline Limited，以策劃人及監製的角色持續發動不同形式的混種協作，邀請不同媒介創作人進行跨域實驗，探索不同展現方式的可能，模糊藝術類型框框、媒界的分野。

特別著迷於跨媒體式 (intermedia) 的構作。她策劃的劇場創作，喜歡引介視覺/媒體藝術家、聲音藝術家和作曲家走入劇場，試圖誘發脫離傳統「劇場」思維的作品發生，開闊劇場的想像和可能性。同時又喜歡將媒體與表演性的協作探索，延伸至跨越表演、展覽、場域特定、社群參與等項目。為2016年為亞洲文化協會年度獎助金得主。

Orlean Lai successively established orleanlaiproject and No Discipline Limited. In the role of curator and producer, she continues to initiate different forms of hybrid collaborations, inviting creative talents across disciplines to conduct cross-domain experiments together, exploring possibilities in different presentation formats, blurring the boundaries between art genres and medium.

She is particularly fascinated with intermedia constructions. In her theatre productions, she likes to introduce visual /media artists, sound artists and composers into the theatre, attempting to elicit works that depart from the conventional “theatre” mindset within the theatre context, thereby broadening the imagination and possibilities of the theatre. At the same time, she also likes to expand the intermedial performativity in various practices, across performance, exhibition, site-specific works and community engaged projects and more. Orlean was the recipient of the Asian Cultural Council Fellowship in 2016.

陳氏曾與Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker、Cristian Duarte、Meytal Blanaru、邱加希、梁芷茵、李偉能等藝等合作。 陳氏於2020年與夥伴成立獨立藝術空間牛吉地，為一個旨在探索如何於香港營運獨立藝術空間及與同業們共享場地資源的藝術企劃。
