自2020年C-LAB園區打開圍牆至今已經兩年，可以看見來來去去園區的人們漸漸變多了，無論是自在遛狗、散步或慢跑的鄰居，或因為課外教學而來的學童，更有隨著展演活動而走進園區的觀眾......人們的在場與流動，都讓原先肅靜封閉的園區氛圍逐漸轉為親和日常的光景。
疫情帶來的人際疏離推力已見減弱，是時候重新熟悉人與人之間一磚一瓦逐漸搭建關係的體驗了。今年度玩聚場的主題定為「人情百百搭」，正是希望藉由各個創作計畫，來體現各種人際交往的樣貌與可能。
我們邀請了擅長策劃民眾參與藝術計畫的貢幼穎與楊志雅，聯手建國玉市攤主共創「鄰居下訂單」演出計畫，找尋素人攤主們心目中藝術節的理想樣貌；以及擁有豐富馬戲策展經驗的星合有限公司，策劃一系列精彩演出，讓表演者以才華相互較勁、跨域成長，更讓觀眾驚喜享受；活潑互動的親子演出，將由夾腳拖劇團的母語寶寶聽故事系列與囝仔人的光影及物件呈現，他們並以工作坊的方式與照顧者、親子組合們，一起分享在家也可以創造演出的撇步；本劇場以趣淘APP將建築物擬人化後的角色，即將揭露的愛恨情仇也令人期待；而即興舞蹈編舞者余彥芳所帶領的《任選三樣》計畫，找來三位極具潛力的創作者，以肢體與空間歷史對話，產生獨到見解；在與野鵝快跑合作策劃的音樂演出中，陪伴樂迷們無數夜晚的樂聲主人在台上現身，創造新的回憶；更有特殊企畫如紙飛機遊戲裝置、小孩直播計畫、藝術斜槓市集等，滿滿的展演活動即將在玩聚場同步展開，只有你能創造屬於自己與這個週末的奇妙連結。
表演藝術能為我們帶來多少種創造人際關係的可能呢？
希望你來解答。

2022 PLAY ARTS Festival – All-Purpose Humanity
Since the outer walls of C-LAB were torn down in 2020, there have been increases in the number of people on C-LAB’s grounds, including neighbors walking their dogs, taking a stroll, or jogging and schoolchildren on field trips. They have also come to view performances and exhibitions. The presence and flow of people have gradually transformed these once quiet and sealed off grounds into friendly everyday settings.
As the influence of COVID-19 has gradually faded, we feel that it’s an opportune time to reacquaint ourselves with rebuilding personal relationship. The theme of this year’s PLAYARTS Festival is “All-Purpose Humanity.” Through numerous creative projects, we hope to express the manifestations of and possibilities for interpersonal exchanges.
We invited Yoyo KUNG and Sylvia YANG, who are adept at encouraging public participation in the arts, to collaborate with stall owners in the Jianguo Holiday Jade Market on the For C-LAB’s Neighbors: How Would You Like Your Performance? performance project. For this project, they seek to develop the ideal arts festival in the minds of these non-artists background stall owners. In addition, Hsingho Co., Ltd., which has abundant circus experience curates outstanding performances during which performers compete, experience cross-disciplinary encouragement, and bring enjoyment and surprises to audiences. There are also lively, interactive, and family-friendly activities, such as children’s stories told in the Hokkien dialect by Flip Flops Theatre and shadow/object performances by the Yinalang.Group. Through workshops, participants learn tips for creating performances at home with their family members. Using the Chito app, Burn theatre develops roles based on the personification of CLAB structures, revealing complex relationship on this online interactive performances. For the Choose Any Three project, improvisation dance choreographer YU Yen-Fang recruits three young creators to develop dialogues between the body and the history of a space and generate unique insights. During music performances co-curated with Wild Goose Run, underground music bands along with performing arts background musicians create new memories for their fans. Other unique projects include paper airplane games installation, children’s live broadcast, and art slashie market. The PLAYARTS Festival is filled with performances and events to create wonderful connections for the audience in this weekend.
How many possibilities do the performing arts bring to the creation of interpersonal relationships?
We hope that you will give us the answer.
