Ah Boy and the Beanstalk

Ah Boy is not just another re-telling of the same old tale, which has been simply plonked into a Singapore setting with Singapore references. the play manages to create many new twists and turns and breathe a whole new life of meaning into this magical tale. Through Ah Boy and his good family pet Ah Cow, the value of relationships above material comfort and success is conveyed, as well as the realization that when the world around us is filled with commotion and deception, family and friends are what we need most.

A Vespula Vulgaris and its sting

Upon studying the types and lifes of wasps, I have discovered the likes of social wasps, paper wasps and yellow jackets otherwise known as Vespula Vulgaris. It is an exploration of both opinions of silence and opinios that intend to injure or damage. A preformative structure will be installed to create an environment in which the complex relationships between the mass media and public opinion will be juxtaposed and challenged.

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.

Asian Boys Vol. 1

Take a happy ride through glorious holes to experience style, phallic monsters, stardust, and macho goddesses. Like characters in a wet dream, the six actors will play out your fantasises under the showers, at the pubs, on the net, and in the bushes - funny, thought-provoking, heart wrenching and always haunting.
