Movement X Tech X Sound Lab

The Necessary Stage invited members of the public to join us in an exploratory presentation of movement, technology and sound as part of our devising platform.

Through interdisciplinary experimentation, we delved into notions of time, identity, loss and grief, and how these can be articulated and deconstructed through a meeting of mediums.

Model Citizens

A man stabs an MP at a Meet-the-People Session. But this is not their story. It is the story of the man’s girlfriend, an Indonesian maid who wants to get married and become a Singaporean citizen. It is the story of the MP’s wife, who tries to cope with her husband’s injury and the media spotlight. It is the story of the maid’s employer, who is also struggling with her own tragedy. These three women may mean nothing to each other, but they need one another to survive. The maid, the employer and the MP’s wife. Are they all model citizens?

Written by veteran Singaporean playwright Haresh Sharma, Model Citizens won Best Director (Alvin Tan) and Best Actress (Siti Khalijah Zainal) at the 2011 The Straits Times Life! Theatre Awards.

My Dream Classroom

Building on its success in education and the arts, especially the Theatre For Youth Branch’s Development Through Drama programme, The Necessary Stage introduces its interdisciplinary Integrated Arts & Personal Development programme in 2001, with a focus on visual art and drama.

Targeted at secondary school students to young adults, the programme hopes to introduce to young people creative skills that will enhance their learning process. The course seeks to discover and adapt to the unique abilities of the student through hands-on teaching, finding the forms of expression that best suits them.

As with the Branch’s Development Through Drama programme, the course aims to develop and enhance students’ life-skills such as confidence, expression, communication, and social interaction and to introduce students to the arts and to open up their creative and imaginative faculties.  This programme is piloted at East View Secondary and Telok Kurau Secondary School.
