實證研究指出，城市人如長期缺乏與大自然接觸，有機會出現「大自然缺失症」；而兒童多到戶外及參與藝術活動，有助其行為、情緒及人際關係發展。童迷香港藝術計劃獲藝能發展資助計劃資助，推出「動戲大地藝術節  再翅飛飛」，推動「大地藝術 x 環境友善 x 沉浸式劇場」概念，以大自然為經、藝術為緯，重建兒童的心靈健康和價值。活動分為三個階段進行：

2024年3至11月：兒童自然及藝術工作坊
2024年12月：大型沉浸式劇場
2025年1至5月：巡迴放映會

首階段推出涵蓋「環境劇場」、「環境音樂」、「自然手作」及「自然律動」等不同主題的工作坊，歡迎6至12歲兒童參加，費用全免。所有工作坊參加者將獲邀參與於2024年尾舉行的全港首個與大自然共融的大型沉浸式劇場節，在生態教育及場地伙伴嘉道理農場暨植物園中進行展演。

「動戲大地藝術節  再翅飛飛」採用對自然友善及可持續原則作為核心理念，自然藝術工作坊內容亦因應自然環境的四季變化而進行，體現與大自然共生的精神。各個工作坊均由藝術家及自然教育工作者攜手策劃及主持，將不同藝術形式結合大自然元素，透過動靜與戶內外兼備的互動遊樂與創作形式，引領參加者學習大自然的各種特性，在過程中喚醒他們的生命力、觀察力、創造力及行動力。

「環境劇場」工作坊

工作坊融合戲劇教育及農場耕作元素，由資深劇場及戲劇教育工作者洪節華聯同生活館有機農場創辦人及生活Seeds Lab負責人李俊妮主持。參加者親身到農田學習耕種、觀察並紀錄植物生長，並在田園間探索，嘗試模仿植物、昆蟲的行動，最後以詩歌、形體及戲劇形式，慶祝豐收。

「環境音樂」工作坊

參加者在本地獨立創作歌手鍾宛姍，以及鳥類生態專家、Project Crow創辦人關朗曦帶領下，觀察和聆聽大自然與雀鳥的聲音，了解不同時節或氣候的雀鳥生態，同步探索身體發聲方法，製作小型樂器創作歌曲，將自然元素化作悠揚悅耳的音樂。

「自然手作」工作坊

葉偉彬

工作坊由從事兒童美術教育工作多年的戲偶藝術家葉偉彬，帶領參加者探索及觀察雀鳥飛行模式和身體結構，並進行寫生。然後穿梭樹林，就地取材，利用殘枝落葉來製作小鳥木偶，並學習基本操偶技巧。

「自然律動」工作坊

參加者跟隨簡樸生活實踐者、社企自然脈絡創辦人莫皓光（野人）和撃鼓導師及磬缽導師李子建，走進山林間自由玩樂，學習在自然中的自主生活能力，以及把竹及鐵枝等廢物利用，循環再造成為大型戲劇道具及再造樂器，並學習基本敲擊節奏和身體律動，提升團隊協調及互動能力。

有關童迷香港藝術計劃
本組織源起為甄詠蓓戲劇工作室的一個專為年青人和兒童策劃的藝術項目《童迷香港藝術計劃Lost Child Project HK》，其後於2021年正式註冊為慈善團體，矢志更專注發展藝術對年青人及社會的影響和改變。

始於2018年，香港劇場資深創作人甄詠蓓，眼見當下青少年和兒童自殺個案問題嚴重，主動邀請國際形體劇場導演及教育家David Glass，以其於1996年創辦、曾在超過22個國家進行、並為聯合國領袖訓練而設計的Lost Child Project創意培訓為藍本，與甄詠蓓戲劇工作室共同策劃「Lost Child Project in HK」，以表演藝術為橋樑，關懷年青人和兒童的精神健康，重建他們的心靈價值和快樂。

2020年得到大館全力支持一同策劃《動戲 · 童迷香港藝術計劃ÉLAN Lost Child Project HK》，集合藝術界、社福界、教育界等專業人士與社區協作，結合藝術和心理防治，共策劃了15個不同藝術項目，在疫情下排除萬難，成為香港首個結合線上線下的大型藝術活動。此計劃成功帶出核心理念：藝術不在解決問題，而是玩轉問題（We do not solve problems, We play problems），更獲得「2021香港藝術發展獎——藝術推廣獎」。

2022年與大館繼續合作，舉辦第二屆《動戲·童迷香港藝術計劃ÉLAN Lost Child Project HK》，主題是『YES AND!...』，共策劃了16個不同藝術項目，讓創意導航，擺脫消極和悲觀情緒，重建年青人以至每個Lost Child的信心和希望，讓失焦的世代重燃希望。

Evidence-based research has pointed out that the lack of exposure to natural surroundings can lead to “nature deficit disorder”, and connecting with nature and participating in art activities are beneficial to children’s behaviours, emotions and interpersonal relationships. Aiming to enhance mental health and proper values for children, Lost Child Project Hong Kong presents “ÉLAN Eartheatre – Regain The Lost Wings”, an innovative programme supported by the Arts Capacity Development Funding Scheme (ACDFS), bringing “Earth Art x Environmental Friendliness x Immersive Theatre” to life via three stages:

March to November 2024: Nature and art workshops for children
December 2024: Mega environmental immersive theatre festival
January to May 2025: Documentary screening school tour

From now till November, workshops featuring “Environmental Theatre”, “Environmental Music”, “Nature Craft” and “Natural Rhythms” are offered for free to children aged 6 to 12. All participants will be invited to take part in the groundbreaking, mega environmental immersive theatre festival to be held in December 2024 at Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden, Ecological Education & Venue Partner of the programme.

Created and hosted by artists and nature education experts, the four series of nature and art workshops are conducted in harmony with the seasonal changes throughout the year, manifesting the programme’s principles of partnering with nature, emphasising sustainability and promoting environmental friendliness. Featuring various art forms and natural elements, the workshops consist of indoor and outdoor activities that inspire participants to explore the diverse aspects of nature, and hence ignite their vitality, observation skills, creativity and force of action.

“Environmental Theatre” Workshop

Wahwah Hung, theatre artist and drama education practitioner, and Jenny Li, Founder of Sangwoodgoon and Head of Sangwood Seeds Lab, lead participants to visit the fields to learn about farming skills and observe and record plant growth. As they explore the countryside, they learn to mimic the movements of plants and insects. The workshop is concluded by harvest celebrations through presentations of poetry, physical expression and drama.

“Environmental Music” Workshop

Guided by Olga Chung, local independent singer-songwriter, and Matthew Kwan, bird expert and Founder of Project Crow, participants observe and listen to the sounds of nature and birds to understand the ecology of birds in different seasons and climates, and then explore vocal techniques and create small instruments to compose songs.

“Nature Craft” Workshop

Yip Wai Bun

Yip Wai Bun, an experienced puppeteer and children’s art educator, to guide participants to explore and observe flight patterns and body structures of birds, and create sketches of the birds. Participants will then learn to craft bird puppets with fallen branches and leaves, as well as basic puppeteering techniques.

“Natural Rhythms” Workshop

Participants are led by Mok Ho Kwong, expert in simple living and Founder of Natural Network, and Kiin Lee, drumming and singing bowl instructor, to explore the mountains and forests to acquire living skills in nature. After they collect bamboos and scrap iron to craft large props and musical instruments, they learn about basic percussion rhythms and body movements, enhancing their team coordination and interactive skills.

About Lost Child Project Hong Kong
Originated as an artistic project curated for young people and children by O Theatre Workshop founded by seasoned theatre artist Olivia Yan, Lost Child Project Hong Kong was officially registered as a charitable organisation in 2021, aiming to promote art to bring impact and transformation to society and young people.

In 2018, moved by the alarming youth and children suicide rates, Olivia Yan invited internationally renowned physical theatre director and educator David Glass to collaboratively launch the “Lost Child Project in HK” initiative. Drawing inspiration from the Lost Child Project, designed by David Glass in 1996, implemented in over 22 countries and utilised in United Nations leadership training, the initiative uses performing arts as a tool to address the mental health of young people and children, and rebuild their spiritual values and happiness.

With support from Tai Kwun, the project was presented in a larger scale in 2020 as “ÉLAN Lost Child Project HK”, bringing together professionals from the arts, social welfare, and education sectors to introduce 15 different art projects held physically and online. As Hong Kong’s first large-scale art event running in both online and offline formats, the innovative project overcame challenges brought by the pandemic, and successfully conveyed the core concept of “We do not solve problems, We play problems”, and was granted the “2021 Hong Kong Arts Development Awards – Award for Arts Promotion”.

In 2022, with continuous support from Tai Kwun, the project hosted the second edition with a theme of “'YES AND!...”, offering 16 different art projects in which participants could explore more possibilities with creativity, and breaking free from negative and pessimistic emotions, to rebuild the confidence and hope of every Lost Child and the young generation.
