Fires Within Fires

Fires Within Fires is an accessible and invigorating contemporary performance and installation, devised and performed by young people in Singapore and Scotland, as an honest and relevant response to the themes and issues in Arthur Miller's The Crucible. A potent melting pot of drama, movement, music, multimedia and installation art, resulting from several months of experimentation and international exchange. A great way to encourage students' interest in Literature!

Creating High Culture in the Globalized "Cultural Dessert" of Singapore

Published in The Drama Review 47, no. 4. 

The following is an extract from the essay/writing.The full version can be purchased online here.


Singapore, with a population of 3.2 millions (4 millions, with all foreigners) is a distinct society which perhaps more than other postcolonial societies, in its desire to match up the advanced West, forsook not only many of the political dimensions of democratic life but also its cultural dimensions, taken in both the high-cultural and “way-of-life” senses. An industrial and commercial understanding of culture was left, and manufacturing and productive institutions became the collective basis of social life. And yet, despite this rather dour and puritanical modernity, experimental theater and visual art started to flourish in the 1980s.

Birds and Bees… Please!

Increasingly, our Youth are surrounded by sexual images, facts and distortions, news stories and sexual humour, as well as having ready to access to sexual information on the internet, not to mention chat rooms and chat lines where they can experiment with sexual interaction in the privacy of their home. But there is still little opportunity for them to make sense of it, even whilst trying to come to terms with their own physical, hormonal and emotional changes and identity.

Birds and Bees...Please? Acknowledges teenagers' interest, frustration, confusion and embarrassment over the subject of sex. It encourages students not to clamp up in shame and suppression over sexual matters, nor to let their hormones, their peers or the media dictate their choices, but rather actively and responsibly learn about sex without jumping into it impulsively.
