Workshops

A Day in the Life

MRT stations will come alive with colour and stories this year. Young people with disabilities will be sharing a day in their lives with us through drawings in the form of comic strips. These will be "exhibited" at selected MRT stations either along MRT tracks, in the trains, or at the station itself.

Named after the Beatles song, the project is focused towards the production of a cartoon series to be displayed at MRT station poster boards. The cartoon series emerging from the workshop depict a range of darkly ironic, dreamy and wildly humorous representations of the everyday experiences and imaginings of MRT passengers.

The artworks were previewed in an exhibition held in March. Reproductions of the artworks were also sold in the form of greeting cards.

Presented in collaboration with Very Special Arts Singapore.

Launched in February 2001, The Necessary Stage's Playwright's Cove is a development and mentorship programme aimed at nurturing, processing and platforming contemporary playwrighting for Singapore Theatre.

Over the past year, an ensemble of playwrights in Singapore have met regularly to create new works, discuss and exchange ideas, engage in dramaturgy, and received mentorship and guidance from The Necessary Stage. Additionally, the playwrights are exposed to the working environment of the professional theatre company to understand different aspects of theatre-making from administration to production.
