今天下午，宁波诺丁汉大学开展了一次“特别”的戏剧表演——主要面向全校女性师生的“戏剧疗愈”活动。
在指导老师的带领下，参加活动的师生们需要将工作、学习、生活上的各种压力暂时忘记，将自己的身份完全转换为戏剧中的角色，全身心沉浸到即兴表演中去。
“戏剧疗愈”活动
宁诺品牌与传媒办公室的楼楚楚就是活动的参与者之一，她说：“我们每个人心中都有一个或对自己、或对他人的评价系统。
活动中，指导老师让大家把这个系统暂时关闭，不再因别人的评价和自己的顾虑束手束脚，而是更加真实、勇敢地表现出与本心更贴合的反应。这也鼓励我在今后能够少些压力、多些勇气，做自己真正想做的事情。”
活动的指导老师Wanning Jen是一名专业的戏剧疗愈师，他说，希望通过戏剧疗愈的方式，让女性朋友们跳出自己的身份，从旁观者的视角来看待自己面临的问题，从而找到挖掘自身潜力、提升自我的方法。
本周，宁诺策划组织了一系列主题活动庆祝国际妇女节，“戏剧疗愈”仅仅是其中之一。健身派对、音乐俱乐部、书展、电影展、分享会、研讨会……精彩纷呈的活动让每位女性师生都能找到自己所爱。
为了呼应2019年的国际妇女节主题“更均衡，更美好”(Balance for Better)，诺丁汉大学三校均开展了“鼓舞人心的女性”(Inspirational Women)活动，全球师生共提名了150多位女性榜样。被提名的女性来自学校各个学院或部门，她们在各自的工作和学习中用自己的实际行动激励着周围的人。
宁诺国际妇女节活动委员会的主席、教学副校长May Tan-Mullins教授说，促进平等是宁诺长期以来的重要发展目标之一，“不仅仅是性别平等，而是在更广泛意义上的平等。”
“去年，我们为贫困地区的女孩举办了筹款活动，希望帮助她们获得更加优质的教育资源。今年，我们的重点是展示学校里的优秀女性。通过宁诺的不懈努力，我们希望能鼓舞更多女性。”
根据人力资源部门的统计，女性占据了宁诺教职工团队的50%以上。此外，宁诺还专门设立了促进种族、民族和性别平等的学生社团，中国仅有极少数大学有这样的社团。
Drama therapy brought to campus for women’s empowerment
On 8 March, a special event aiming at empowering women was delivered on the campus of the University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC), where female students and staff had the chance to discover their inner strength through improvisation theatre.
Guided by the trainer, attendees at this Drama Therapy class gradually let go of the control over themselves, and were completely immersed in the spontaneous performance.
The attendees commented on the event being inspiring. Lily Cai, a female staff member said it was wonderful to de-stress with colleagues and students in such an improvised but carefully devised way.
An anonymous attendee said: “The key take-away is to be spontaneous. We are all role players in our life and that sets limits on what we do and what we don’t do. We need to let go of that control sometimes and be more courageous.”
According to the trainer, Wanning Jen, a professional drama therapist, the goal of improvisation theatre is to guide women to think outside of the box, to uncover one’s potential and hopefully to transform towards a better self.
This is merely one of the many events organised by the International Women’s Day Committee at UNNC. Fitness and music workshop, book exhibition, film screening, sharing sessions and symposiums, everyone can find something they are interested in.
Echoing the 2019 theme for International Women’s Day – Balance for Better, a social media campaign named Inspirational Women invited students and staff across all Nottingham’s campuses to nominate female colleagues by explaining their inspirational achievements. Almost 150 submissions were received celebrating women at all levels and job types.
UNNC Vice-Provost Professor May Tan-Mullins, Chair of the UNNC International Women’s Day Committee said it was the University’s long-standing commitment to promote equality.
“UNNC has long been an advocate for equality, not just gender equality but equality in a broader sense,” Professor May Tan-Mullins said. “Last year, we organised a fundraising event, aiming at enabling disadvantaged girls to receive quality education that they needed. As a result we collected more than 20 thousand Chinese Yuan in donation, which was a great success.
“This year, our focus is more towards showcasing inspirational women around campus and women’s empowerment. We have so far had a lot of positive feedback and that is encouraging. I hope that one day our continuous effort at UNNC can inspire women beyond.”
According to the Human Resources Office, female staff make up 50% of the University’s total amount of staff members. UNNC is also one of the few universities in China to have a student club aiming at promoting equal opportunities for all races, nationalities and genders at UNNC.
