【2021 Weiwuying Circus Platform】Taiwan Street Arts and Culture Development Association - Street Act Lab-The Sixth
For the very first time, Street Act Lab is coming to Southern Taiwan! Street Act Lab will bring together kendama performer Screw, diabolo artist Lay-lay, street soccer and basketball pioneers TANG Hsin-lei and HUANG Chong-ming, Flairbartender Jonas, and the stars of the first five seasons. This November, at Weiwuying's Banayan Plaza, there will be an original street act extravaganza!
Street acts are an essential indicator of the development of local culture and art in each country. Four years ago, the Taiwan Street Arts and Culture Development Association launched Street Act Lab, which introduced systematic training to scout and cultivate talents. From recruitment and creative consultant to official performance, the project provides professional instructors and resources to create Taiwan's most fascinating mobile performances. This fall, Street Act Lab will go deep into Southern Taiwan and turn Weiwuying into a base of operation. Circus performers will roam around this massive ship on land and create beautiful memories with the public.
Program
Yi-chuan CHEN
I have always performed on the street as Screw. Kendama is my passion, and I would like to promote it to more people, so I have always tried to develop all sorts of tricks and challenges. For this year's Street Act Lab, I want to reflect on all my past experiences and refine my act to create a new and improved Screw 2.0.
TANG Hsin-lei and HUANG Chong-ming
Engineer = Nerd? OUT!
In the public's eyes, two engineers who work with programming languages are likely geeks who are not well-groomed and not good with words. The only languages they speak are C++, Java, and Python.
On an ordinary day, the most extraordinary thing happened! The two engineers are in the middle of coding when they suddenly fall into the digital world and embark on a Matrix-like adventure.
The two engineers have unleashed their unlimited potential in this world and transformed into the best soccer and basketball freestyler. The programming languages are like their superpower, typing in different instructions to do many flashy tricks in a row. But ...... How do they return to reality? Go for it! Engineers, bring out your inner street artist and rock the virtual world!
Flairbartender Jonas The Street Bar
This is a small bar in the street. Here, you can order a stunning performance and take in the splendor of flair bartending. There will be advanced techniques like dominoes-shots, bar bartending, and 15 glasses stacked on the chin. I hope that someday in the future, we can meet in this street bar by chance. I will lead you comfortably into the wonderful vibe of our humble establishment.
LUI Chia-ling
In Taiwan, the diabolo is considered a folk sport, so little attention is paid to the overall performance design when showcasing the techniques. I have always wanted to combine diabolo with my favorite animes, such as Sailor Moon. The diabolo is like my magic power, which took a lot of practice to master. However, the pursuit of dreams is not difficult as long as you continue to make an effort.
CHOU Tzu-Yi
The Calling brings together a wide range of skills: clown, pantomime, and juggling. The transformation from Magician to Clown, and then to a multi-talented Entertainer possesses the surprise of magic, the humor of clowns, and the breathtaking skills of juggling!
The show's essence: combining comedic clown act with juggling, presenting a magical surprise!
Performance philosophy: Even if you are changed by reality, don't forget your true self.
CHEN Sheng-wei
The Poseur Waiter
What kind of waiter drinks on the job? No sooner had the store opened was he drunk. He is drunk in his world, and the whole store is his stage! That's him! The poseur waiter! Let's follow his weird and poetic body and get tipsy in his world!
HSIEH Tsung-lin and David LIU Tsung-lin & David's Debut at Weiwuying
Tsung-lin's singing career is booming. Striving for perfection, he hired a new assistant, David, who is good at everything: acting, juggling, and musical instruments. Tsung-lin and David are nervous about being back in Taipei for a performance. What is going to happen?
Double V
We came to the world in search of the meaning of life. Maturity meant sensibility and more responsibility. Willfulness does not warrant recklessness, and escape does not guarantee safe retreat. We stumble towards the light. Unwittingly, we have come to this moment! Write an unknown script in your own name...

Team introduction
Taiwan Street Arts Culture Development Association
Taiwan Street Arts Culture Development Association (Str.ACD) was founded in the Spring of 2017. After witnessing the improvement in foreign performance through collaboration and exchange, street artist Kai-hsuan HSU developed the concept of Street Act Lab. Later on, CHAO Wan-ling, HSU Kai-hsuan, CHEN Hsin-da, YANG Yuan-ching, and HO Cheng-yi called on street performers across Taiwan to participate in the first-ever Street Act Lab at the Yuanshan EXPO Park in Taipei on June 28, 2017. A positive interaction is introduced into Taiwan's street act circle by initiating a discussion about individual works.
On January 16, 2018, Str.ACD introduced the second edition of Street Act Lab and established an education system based on training, discussion, and presentation. Str.ACD is continuously perfecting the Street Act Lab system in hopes of helping more talents get on the international stage.
