“How do so many directors direct together?” This is a frequent question. After six years of the launch of the World Wide Lab, we are still sticking to the spirit of collaboration, hoping that the possibility of collective creation might be achieved step by step. From 2011 to 2015, we have brought World Wide Lab to reality at the Watermill Center and Brooklyn in New York, Rome in Italia and Syros in Greece. Each year directors fly to a city at one small corner of the world to work together for a creative collaboration lasting three to four weeks. Spontaneously we did this. No one’s forcing us. Despite all the difficulties, despite our nearly breaking of rationality, upon the arrival of our next Word Wide Lab, we will still gather our luggage, flying to another destination from whatever city it is. Lots of people have come to our help along the way, while as many voices of questioning have also poured in. Sometimes we even long for an ending, to spare ourselves an easy vacation. Yet, gods have forbidden that. Challenges keep coming every year. They prove to be appealing to us, and again and again we keep making the impossible come true.
就許多有共創經驗的創作者來說,分享共同的創作主題,並在有限的時間內輪番上陣,這是最常見的合作模式。又或者是帶著本地的製作,到別的國家、別的城市交流,再把別的城市的製作帶來本地觀摩學習,這也是一種文化交流最常見的模式。創作者客客氣氣的欣賞著別人創作出來的風景,分享並學習。但是,在「國際導演實驗室」裏頭,我們扎扎實實地是關在排練場裡,同時地、一起地執導數個作品。你會發現在排練場裡,有好幾個導演同時進行同一個場景的創作。我們共享著排練與創作過程,好的和壞的,混亂的和有組織性的,很邏輯很理性,或者很感性很感覺的。
所謂「共同執導」並非是輪流接力導戲,而是導演們必須共同在場,精神性的、技術性的和身體性的。過去五年當中,透過兩或三位導演共同執導一部作品,來磨練我們的合作能力。過程中我們拋出問題、撞擊火花,找出最合適、彼此最可以接受的解決方法。通常,經過一番車輪戰後,最後拋出來的創意,總是超出我們每個人的預期,甚至更好。真正「共同執導」的意義,也經過五年的磨合,而有了新生的意義 |
