09-10-2011 马老师撰文《留个净土空间》An Article of Anthony@星洲广场Sin Chew

马金泉老师通过文章《留个净土空间》述说共享空间新创作《巢穴》的初衷及愿景,为什么他要当下给观众呈现一个述说环境污染课题的作品。就好像文章里头“有些事情不能再沉默,有些事情必须立刻行动”,希望用艺术唤醒大家关注我们生病的地球、我们唯一的家!

Anthony tells the story of why he created DEN in such a time when the environmental pollution is harming our future. Like what he said in the article, "There's things that we cannot stay silent anymore, there's things that we need to take action immediately", hoping to gain awareness among the audience with arts regarding the environmental issue of our only home!

经采摘要Adaptions:

世界各地,每天都连续上演旱涝天灾,山体崩坏及火山地震等等的事件。辐射及有害制品也每天无声无音侵入广大人们的起居生活,像一张盖天铺地的黑网,蚕食吞噬清静的空间。 Everyday, floods, drought, earthquake and landslides happening all around the world. Radioactive and poisonous particles are invading our lives silently, corrupting our surrounding like a destructive network.

艺术创作并非与现实生活没有关系,文艺工作者并非不食人间烟火者,通过艺术绝对可以讲话及发声,阐述自身立场。
Artists are not living away from what's happening around us, we should voice out trough arts and to stand for our point of view.

地球面临的危机将波及我们日常生活,甚至下一代的生存空间。我们的家只有一个——地球,生及养育我们的地方。没有了她,再再重大的事情也显得没有意义了。
The risks of Earth put us into an endangered situation which affect out livings and even our coming generations. There is only one Earth, the home that grew and nurtured us. Without her, nothing's meaningful!

共享空间专业舞团将于今年11月17日至20日,在吉隆坡表演艺术中心(The Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre,Pentas 2)发表舞团2011年年度创作——《巢穴》。这是舞团近年来创作《黑白变》及《TWO》现代舞剧后另一个长篇创作。
Dua Space Dance Theatre will be staging our annual production of year 2011 entitled “DEN” from 17 to 20 November in Pentas 2 of The Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (klpac). This is another creation of feature-length work from Dua Space since the previous “Black & White @ VARIATION” and “TWO”.

《巢穴》是以宇宙一个外星球的毁灭及外星人的逃离却不幸撞毁在地球的虚构故事,反映对地球目前环保的重视及警钟,预言地球未来可能也会面对同样的厄运。此长篇现代舞剧是由创办人兼编舞家马金泉及叶忠文联合创作的作品,同时联合本地多位不同领域的艺术家跨界合作,其中计有本地著名设计师姚冰玲担任化妆及造型总监;多媒体设计新晋薛建翔、多元摄影创意人罗浩庭、黄锦杰和李育胜将联合组成多媒体及360度摄影镜头相结合的有趣设计;李富正则为现场设计出毁坏的太空船,为演出增添不一样的创意元素,让观众犹如置身于故事现场。
“DEN” is a fiction story which a planet within the universe is destroyed and the escaping space craft crashed on Earth during the journey of the outer space creatures seeking for survival. The story emphasizes the significant environmental issues and forecasts the possibility that Earth will be heading the same fate. This feature-length work is a collaboration of choreography by the founders and choreographers of Dua Space Dance Theatre, Anthony Meh and Aman Yap. Besides, artists from various backgrounds will come together to generate a hybrid of creativities and arts, including local renowned makeup artist, Michelle Yiu, as the director of makeup and image design, potential new talent of multimedia design, Sirius Seet, and creative photographers, Helios Loo, KK Wong and Dev Lee will contribute their thoughts and specialties to present a 360 degree multimedia visual, and Lee Hock Seng will install the theatre in the form of crashed space craft in order to give the audience an experience of appearing at the scenes of the story line.

《巢穴》以前卫的造型设计、超现实的多媒体概念、新颖的现场装置以及另类创新的肢体动作融冶於创作及演出之中,呈献一场结合不同领域的艺术创意舞台飨宴。
“DEN” combines sophisticated image designs, surrealistic multimedia concepts, novel environment installations, and unique and innovative body movements in the choreography, presenting a stage performance of combined creativities and arts to the audience.

By experiencing these elements through their bodies, the participants may create dance movements which are unique and different from the others.
