Staging

Under the Last Dust

"As she folds the clothes, she waits for a sign; as she showers, she looks at the water in the sink, she swirls her fingers and dreams; as she peels an onion, she cries looking at the dust on the rainbow."

A rare Singaporean production; one that transcends language and gender; one that connects us all as human living at the edge of life...a return of innocence.

Talks & Interviews

Trans-media Negotiations

The following description was extracted from the Introduction in focas No. 1 by Editor Lucy Davis.

The forum was a rare occasion where members of the press, particularly representatives from Singapore Press Holdings, almost outnumbered the arts practitioners, both in audience and on the panel. Discussions ranged from thrashing out questions of "populism" vs "elitism", and "popular culture" vs "high culture" to defining the role of a reviewer, the role of a critic, the rights of the practitioner who is being reviewed, the rights of a free press, and the role of ethics in the light of a number of recent arts-media controversies.

The forum transcription was published in focas No. 1.

The video recording is available on request.

To Ah Kong and Ah Ma… With Love

You and Me. Father and Mother. Grandfather and Grandmother. Cockroaches and Crickets. Who are we? Why are we? We will because we are. An exhilarating theatrical experience sans Baygons...be plagued by a host of insects and human beings. This performance is conceptualised by Darren Chiam in collaboration with Ivan Goh and with the assistance of Vel Ng. [To Ah Kong and Ah Ma...With Love was developed from an earlier performance which was conceived and performed in the Theatre Studies Programme of the National University of Singapore.]

Talks & Interviews

Artists & Publics

The following description was extracted from the Introduction in focas No. 1 by Editor Lucy Davis.

The forum contains observations on community arts, public art and interactive initiatives from key practitioners and administrators in this field. Issues that were raised include: the histories of arts engagement in society in Singapore; discursive inheritances of contemporary "engaged art" practices; questions of art in education, in public art and in performance art; the relationships between independent arts projects and Peoples' Association Community Centres; and the role of the National Arts Council (NAC) and the Ministry of Education (MOE) in arts outreach programmes.

The forum transcription was published in focas No. 1.
