Synopsis:

After 2014′s IgnorLAND of its Time in Bukit Ho Swee, Drama Box turns its focus to Dakota Crescent for the fourth installation: IgnorLAND of its Loss.
Dakota Crescent is no stranger to most people these days, particularly when news about its redevelopment plans broke in July 2014. The estate is one of Singapore's oldest public housing estates and is built by Singapore Improvement Trust in 1958. It has been earmarked for redevelopment and residents are to vacate by end 2016.

Development does bring along something new, but it also takes something away from us. How do we cope with this loss? Are there other possibilities?

Community-engaged arts project IgnorLAND of its Loss hopes to invite audiences to imagine alternatives and have a dialogue about the decision-making process regarding our land.

As part of our long-drawn-out efforts to engage with and gather stories from the community, the team has been working very closely with the residents as well as various other stakeholders since 2015.

This collaboration will inculcate into a site-specific arts project at Dakota Crescent in July 2016. The production will feature a mix of sharing by non-actors who are part of the Dakota Crescent story as well as dramatic framing performed by professional actors.

GoLi – The Moving Theatre will also make its appearance at IgnorLAND of its Loss.

在位于河水山组屋区内举行的《不知岛的时光》结束后,我们接下来的*《不知岛的迷失》将焦点转向达哥打弯(Dakota Crescent)。

达哥打弯对许多人来说应该不陌生,尤其是在建屋发展局于2014年7月宣布重新发展达哥打弯组屋区后,就更引人关注了。达哥打弯是新加坡历史最悠久的组屋区之一,由新加坡改良信托局兴建于1958年。

每项发展的背后都有所得,但也必有所失。我们要如何处理这份失落?我们能不能探索其他的可能性?

社区参与艺术项目《不知岛的迷失》希望能邀请观众和我们一起想象其他可能性,一起为新加坡土地发展的决策进行反思与对话。

制作社区参与性演出常需要我们旷日持久地与居民进行交流以及收集资料与故事,从2015年开始制作团队就已经和居民以及社区里不同的社群密集合作。

今年(2016年)7月在达哥打弯内举行的演出就是这些合作的成果。其中,一群非演员将连同专业演员一起联手呈献演出。

GoLi 《弹珠移动剧场》也将在《不知岛的迷失》中亮相。
