Huatung Youth Art Camp

If we can nurture the innate talents of Huatung youth, provide a platform for the expression of their talents, we can help build a brighter future for these young people.
The innate artistic talents of aborigine youth are like beautiful wild flowers, untamed and undiscovered.  Having heard the children’s exceptional vocal skills and seen their agility with rhythm, Alliance’s Chairman, Mr. Yen, decided to organize youth art camps to provide formal training to talented Huatung youth. 
    
The 2010 Youth Art Camp consisted of two 10- day sessions which allowed more than 100 middle and high school students to explore their artistic talents through professional music, dance, visual arts, and drama lessons. Mr. Yen also invited internationally renowned artists Cai Guo-Qiang, Lin Huai Min, Kimbo, Ju Tzong-Ching, Paul Chiang, Chang Cheng- Jie, Wang Wei-zhong to participate in the Camp to teach and inspire Huatung youth.

The mission for the 2010 Art Camp was “Building Self-Confidence.”  During the closing ceremony, world renowned dance master, Lin Huai Min, sent the students these encouraging words: “If during the past 10 days, you accomplished things that you never thought would be possible, remember to applaud yourself. Always remember to be your own best advocate!”  After seeing one of his students’ performance on stage, a Taitung middle school principal told Mr. Yen: “I cannot believe you have enabled students to develop self-confidence in such a short period.”

“Building a Foundation for the Future” was the mission for the 2011 Hautung Youth Art Camp. Alliance partnered with the National Taitung University. The Taipei National University of the Arts Teacher Education Center assisted in planning the curriculum and activities. Volunteers from Medical Educators for Humanities, National Taitung University, Chengchi University returned for the second year. The program was 11 days and 100 middle and high school students from remote villages participated. In addition, five middle school students from Hong Kong also joined the program, providing opportunities for cultural exchange. The 2011 curriculum focused on the theme of “Amusement Park, Exploring the Relationship between the Land and Self.”  The group visited Jia-Lan Village which was devastated by Typhoon Morak. During the visit, tribal elders shared the history of Jia-Lan Village. Women from the tribe recounted the challenges they faced during reconstruction after the typhoon. The students shared their reflections in the art work produced.

Guest lecturers of the camp included local artists, Rahic Talifo who works with driftwood, Paul Chiang, an internationally renowned painter who now resides in Taidong, Liu Mei-Ying, Director of Taitung Theatre, Aborigine dancer, Lin Ching-Mei, and indigenous singer-composer Suming Rupi.  Alliance hoped Huatung youth can continue to learn from and be inspired by these accomplished local artists.  At the end of the camp, Paul Chiang invited students to collaborate with him. This was a truly unique opportunity.

Alliance hopes these young people will use art as a voice for their thoughts, thereby building their self-confidence and that every learning moment and every accomplishment at the camp will have life- long impact on the campers’ lives.
