关于剧本创作
2022 年 11 月 21 日凌晨，在上海市崇明区长江口横沙水域，历时七年水下考古，折戟沉沙 150 多年的长江口二号古船终于被整体打捞，得以重见天日。它犹如一颗“时间胶囊”，鲜活展现了清代晚期以来长江黄金水道航运的繁荣景象，是“海上丝绸之路”的重要实证，也是上海作为世界贸易和航运中心的宝贵见证。
在此创作背景下，由中国上海国际艺术节出品的原创实验儿童剧《长江二号》，从当代青少年的视角出发，引领观众踏上一段奇幻冒险的旅程，不仅探秘了古船的“前世今生”，更揭示了上海文化经济的发展脉络和深厚底蕴。在创作过程中，青少年们不仅汲取了古代历史文化的精髓，更是激发了文化自信和民族认同感。值得一提的是，作品还关注了青少年在成长中的自我价值实现，鼓励他们勇敢追梦，踏浪前行。

在赴英之前，艺术团来到了浦东康德的剧场，在爸爸妈妈和老师们面前预演了《长江二号》，让大家先睹为快。孩子们以出色的发挥让在场的观众们无一不为他们的精彩演出感动和鼓掌。
中国上海国际艺术节中心副总裁唐颖琪女士亲临浦东康德现场，观看了孩子们完整的演出，并在演出结束后对孩子们的优异表现表示高度的认可和赞赏，同时也对即将踏出国门的他们给予了殷切的嘱托和厚望，并为每一位小演员颁发了证书和学习手册。
舞台灯光的背后，是孩子们夜以继日的汗水与坚持。这份努力与蜕变，家长们全程见证，心中满是欣慰和骄傲。通过此次演出，学生们采用了全英文演出，平时在校时能流利使用英语交流，但在表演中还要掌握复杂的台词、舞蹈动作和表演技巧。这样的经历可以称得上是一次项目式的学习，不仅如此，与其他小演员磨合共同演出也是一个不小的挑战。他们学会了如何与来自不同学校和背景的同伴们沟通协作，共同克服困难。在这段时间里，他们勇敢地走出舒适区，迎接新挑战！
小编有幸采访了康德双语学生韩镒旭Asher的妈妈，与大家分享她眼中孩子的成长故事。
问
在排练过程中恰逢期末考试，Asher是如何兼顾两者？期间遇到困难时又是如何克服的？
答
刚进剧组的时候正逢学校的期末迎考期间，每周的排练占用了大部分的课余时间。放学后除了完成学校的作业，还要练习表演、舞蹈、记台词和学唱新的歌曲。有时候一句台词、一个动作往往练好几遍都不能让导演满意。这种时候他会有一些急躁的情绪，觉得这个事情太难了，他牺牲了玩乐时间却还是无法兼顾学校和导演的双重作业。好在我们学校非常支持这次的演出，任课老师根据他的情况适当调整了他的作业量和交作业时间。就这样，他咬着牙一遍遍练习，急哭的时候就冷静一会儿，擦干眼泪继续练。经过他自己的努力，排练和学习都没有耽误，期末考试也取得了较为满意的成绩。
问
您觉得这样的一段经历对Asher有怎样的成长或帮助？
答
首先让他懂得了什么是刻苦，每次排练都是4-5个小时左右，回来还要继续练习和写作业，时间很紧，但结果是期末考试达到了自己预设的目标。而在这次预演中，我们也看到了他很大的进步，这是他靠自己刻苦努力取得的成绩，这对于习惯了每天车接车送、饭来张口衣来伸手的他来说是一次难得的经历。其次是这次随团出国演出，虽说有老师带队，但生活上的大部分事情要他自己独立完成，为真正学会自己照顾自己迈出第一步。去英国还要面临倒时差、紧凑的行程和演出任务，这将会是对他自我管理的一个考验。再有就是剧组里的孩子都是不同学校不同年龄的，大家各有所长。通过这段时间的相处，从陌生到彼此鼓励互相支持，我想这段经历将会成为他成长过程中宝贵的财富。
问
孩子们之后将代表中国，代表上海远赴海外演出，作为家长是怎样的心情？对孩子们又有怎样的期许和祝福？
答
经过三个月的辛苦排练，老师和孩子们都付出了很多的汗水。剧情很感人，孩子们演得也很饱满，能取得这样的成绩相当不容易。谢幕的时候，我们好多家长都感动得哭了。希望他们能在爱丁堡国际艺术节上代表中国取得演出的成功。这将是我们Asher靠自己的努力获得的鲜花和掌声，将在相当长的阶段里伴随他的成长。我们也为他感到高兴。希望他拿出自己最好的状态，预祝他演出成功。
在爱丁堡的精彩演出之后，《长江二号》将继续扬帆远航，前往伦敦继续向世界展示中国文化的深厚底蕴与无限魅力，以及中国少年的自信和才华。让我们一同祝福这群上海小囡，带着对艺术的热爱与执着，在世界的舞台上绽放光彩，期待他们的凯旋而归！

On 12 May 2024, the CSIAF (China Shanghai International Arts Festival) Youth Art Troupe was officially announced, and ten SCBS students were selected as the first batch of members through layers of screening auditions. Under systematic theatre training from professional tutors, after three months of intensive rehearsals, these children stepped onto the stage of the Edinburgh International Festival with the original experimental child’s play “Ancient Ship”, telling the Chinese story to the world and interpreting the charm of Shanghai.
"China Focus" Press
Royal Mile Roadshow, Edinburgh
The premiere of “Ancient Ship” at the Pentland Auditorium of the Edinburgh International Conference Centre was a great success! With fluent English dialogue, sincere emotions and rich body language, our young artists vividly portrayed the history and culture of China, allowing the world to understand and appreciate the charm of China. These little bodies burst with great energy and won the love and applause of the audience from all over the world. On stage, each character was portrayed to the fullest, and the audience seemed to travel through time and space, experiencing a wonderful journey of courage, friendship and growth.
“Ancient Ship” is not only a visual feast, but also a cultural journey, which perfectly blends China's historical stories and modern spirit. As such the culture exchange formed an invisible bond with emotion as a thread, closely connecting people of different cultural backgrounds, touching their heartstrings and arousing resonance. Right after watching this play, some local audiences even said they wanted to come to China, to Shanghai, to see this ancient ship with their own eyes.

About the Play
In the early morning of 21 November 2022, in the Chongming District of Shanghai, the Yangtze River Estuary Hengsha waters, after seven years of underwater archaeology, more than 150 years of the ancient ship was finally salvaged as a whole. It is like a “time capsule”, vividly displaying the prosperous scene of the golden waterway shipping of the Yangtze River since the late Qing Dynasty, which is important evidence of the “Maritime Silk Road”, and also a valuable witness of Shanghai as a world trade and shipping centre.
Based on such background, the original experimental child’s play “Ancient Ship”, was produced by the CSIAF, with the perspective of contemporary youth and led the audience on a journey of fantasy and adventure, which not only explored the “past and present life” of the ancient ship, but also revealed the development of Shanghai's culture and economy and its profound heritage. During the process of creation, the children not only learnt the essence of ancient history and culture, but also inspired cultural confidence and a sense of national identity. It is worth mentioning that the work also emphasizes the realisation of the self-fulfilment of teenagers in their growth, encouraging them to bravely pursue their dreams and ride the waves forward.

Before leaving for the UK, the troupe also came to preview their performance of “Ancient Ship” in front of parents and teachers. All the audience burst into great applause and cheers for the children’s excellent performance.
Ms. Yingqi Tang, Vice President of the CSIAF Centre, was present to watch the performance and expressed her high recognition and appreciation. She also extended earnest wishes to the children and awarded each of them with certificates and play manuals.
Behind the stage is the sweat and persistence of the children. Parents have witnessed the whole process of the children’s effort and transformation, and their hearts were full of joy and pride. The play was performed in English, even though the children come from a bilingual school and are usually fluent in English, they had to master complicated lines, dance moves and acting techniques, which is quite challenging. Not only was it a project-based learning experience, but it was also a challenge to work along with the other young performers together. They learnt how to communicate and collaborate with their peers from different schools and backgrounds to overcome obstacles, step out of their comfort zone and take on new challenges!
We had the pleasure of interviewing Asher Han's mother from SCBS to share the story of Asher.
Q
How did Asher manage to juggle the two when rehearsals coincided with final exams? How did he overcome the difficulties?
A
When Asher first joined the cast, it was during the school's final exam period, and the weekly rehearsals took up most of his time after school. In addition to completing school work after school, he had to practice acting, dancing, memorising lines and learning new songs. Sometimes a line or an action could be practised several times before the director was satisfied. At such times he would get a bit impatient, thinking that it was too difficult and he sacrificed his playtime but still couldn't manage. Luckily, our school was very supportive of this performance, and the teacher adjusted the amount of homework and the due date according to his situation. In this way, he practised over and over again, though sometimes he was in a hurry and cried, he would calm down for a while, dry his tears and get back to practise again. Through his own efforts, he was able to rehearse and study without any delay, and he got a satisfactory grade in the final exam.
Q
How do you think such an experience helped Asher?
A
First of all, it taught him what hard work is. Every rehearsal was about 4-5 hours, and when he came back, he had to continue to practice and write homework, it was very intensive, but the result was that he reached his pre-set goal for the final exam. And in this preview performance, we also saw his great progress, this was his own hard work to achieve such results, which was a rare experience for him. Secondly, when he went abroad with his troupe, although he was led by the teachers, he had to do most of the living things by himself, which was the first step for him to really learn to take care of himself. Going to the UK and facing jet lag, tight schedules and performance tasks would be a test of his self-management. Also, the children in the cast are all from different schools and ages, each with their own strengths. Through this period of time, from being strangers to encouraging and supporting each other, I think this experience will be a valuable asset to him in his growth.
Q
Now, the children are representing Shanghai, representing China to perform overseas, how do you feel? What kind of expectations and blessings do you have for them?
A
After three months of hard rehearsals, the teachers and children have put in a lot of hard work. The play was very touching and the children acted very well, it was really not easy. Many of our parents were moved to tears after watching it. We hope that they would be able to represent China at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and have a successful performance. This will be the flowers and applause that Asher will get by his own efforts, and will accompany him for quite a long period of time. We are all happy for him. We hope he will bring out his best and wish him all the success.
After the wonderful performance in Edinburgh, “Ancient Ship” will sail away to London to continue showing the world the profound heritage and infinite charm of Chinese culture, as well as the confidence and talent of Chinese teenagers. Let's wish these Shanghai kids the best of luck and look forward to their triumphant return from the world stage!
