【艋舺在一起】Be Together 創作不停歇
艋舺國際舞蹈節節目選粹
2020年第二屆艋舺國際舞蹈節因武漢肺炎COVID-19疫情影響而取消，從去年底起上百個團隊參與徵件，及最後拍板的國內外50個團隊、三天內上百場的演出能量、在地店家與居民的期待與參與，都在疫情對表演藝術及每一個人生活健康安全的衝擊下轉瞬消失。
一個個創作中的作品已在熟成的路上，為培育創作、增加獨立編舞家及團隊未來更多展演可能，曉劇場轉換形式發起「艋舺在一起」活動，從2020艋舺國際舞蹈節的參演團隊中，10個作品選粹參與；並利用原訂今年春天開幕的「糖廍曉劇場」，邀請策展人、地方場館及節目經理人前來欣賞演出，建構獨立編舞家與場館的連結與後續合作可能，也讓艋舺國際舞蹈節的精神可以延續下去。
【公告】2020艋舺國際舞蹈節 因疫情停辦說明
2020艋舺國際舞蹈節的觀眾及朋友們好，
曉劇場團隊自武漢肺炎發生以來，不斷沙盤推演以防備疫情。前期我們增加演出場地、下修觀眾入場人數、購置防疫用的額溫槍、酒精等器具；在臺灣境外移入案例增加時，我們函請國外團隊明年再見；然而本週三又因疾管署的建議聚集人數下修，部份合作場館決議婉拒團體集會的申請。
考量所有團隊演出者、觀眾、志工、參與工作人員、社區以及臺灣整體的健康及防疫安全，和共同策展人耿一偉老師會議後，我們決定停辦今年艋舺國際舞蹈節。
感謝一路以來和我們站在一起的創作者與團隊，以及關注艋舺國際舞蹈節的觀眾朋友和合作單位，且讓我們韜光養晦，健康地準備更好的時機到來。
此外，我們也在持續尋找其它呈現各參與團隊作品的可能性，或者在不久之後我們仍會以其它形式與大家見面。
無論如何，讓我們約定：明年艋舺再見！
策展人 鍾伯淵 及 曉劇場團隊
【Announcement】Cancellation of 2020 Want to Dance Festival
Dear all,
We are here sorry to announce that 2020 Want to Dance Festival has to be canceled due to the current pandemic. In the past months, we have tried our best to work it out; however, while the epidemic goes severer and severer, this week Taiwan Centers for Disease Control has announced a much more strict rule administering group activities, and some of our venues have decided to turn down all of their reservations under the circumstance.
In this unprecedented situation, where the health and safety of our audiences, participants, colleagues, and our local neighborhoods is our main priority, our curators decide to cancel this year’s Festival with heavy hearts and great regrets.
We are truly grateful to all of you for standing with us and kindly supporting us. We are always trying to bring great works and fantastic ideas to the public through our platform, so we are now in the process of discussing with the participating artists and looking for any other possibility to bring our wonderful performances to you. We are looking forward to meeting you soon in the near future. Stay tuned.
Please take care and keep strong.
Best wishes,
Chung Po-Yuan / Curator
and Shinehouse Theatre
