Lo Wah Kiu (Workshop) / 老華僑劇場（系列工作坊)

Join us for a participatory theatre workshop inspired by the work of Downtown Eastside documentarian and organiser Sid Chow Tan! From organizing with the Head Tax and Exclusion Redress movement to documenting countless actions against gentrification and displacement, Sid’s art of activism captured a spirit of class-consciousness, humour, and solidarity. His vast archive depicts four decades of the struggles, victories, celebrations, and everyday lives of DTES and Chinatown communities and organisers. In these introductory workshops, participants will be introduced to theatre techniques that will connect themes from the Sid Tan archives to our lives and neighbourhood issues today.

Free admission and no theatre experience necessary! Pre-registration required. Refreshments will be served. Cantonese and Mandarin interpretation will be provided. These workshops are presented with gratitude and in solidarity with the many friends, organisers, community television volunteers and staff who made possible the production, broadcast, and archive of Sid’s videos.

誠邀您參加本次「參與式劇場系列工作坊」！本次工作坊的靈感來自活躍於溫哥華市中心東端的紀錄片導演兼社區組織者 周明輝（Sid Chow Tan）。他的行動經歷相當廣泛——從組織華人人頭稅和排華政策平反運動，到紀錄無數反對社區貴族化與逼遷的行動。周明輝以社會行動的藝術，展現了深厚的階級意識、幽默感與團結精神。他龐大的影像檔案，完整呈現了四十年來東端與華埠社群及行動者的奮鬥、勝利、慶祝時刻與日常生活。在本次的系列入門工作坊中，參與者將學習劇場技巧，探索周明輝的影像檔案中所紀錄的話題，並連結到我們當下的生活，以及社區面臨的議題。

本次活動免費，無需任何劇場經驗！須事先報名。現場將提供茶點，並備有廣東話與普通話翻譯。本次系列工作坊特別鳴謝並致敬眾多好友、組織者、社區電視義工與工作人員——正因為有他們的努力，周明輝的影像作品才能被製作、播出並得以保存。
