Close—in My Face

Close—In My Face is a communal collage of what has been shared between a community of people over a six-month period. An array of stories, impressions and thoughts has been arranged to allow the audience to make their own links, imaginings, questions and reflections. Prevalent issues include privacy, intimacy, claustrophobia, loneliness, neighbourly relations, animals, social prejudice and stereotyping of various sorts.

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.

Dreaming up a Prince

Dreaming up a Prince is a piece of interactive theatre. It takes place in two parts. The first is a 35-minute performance where the characters grapple with the issues of relationships and sexuality. After the performance, the audience will interact directly with the characters. They could ask them questions (hot-seating) or suggest alternative choices or decisions that the characters could have made so as to avoid their present predicament. The actors then play out the suggestions on the spot. Alternatively, audience members could "replace" the actors and play out their own solutions. Together, actors and audience work towards finding ways  of helping the young teenage couple.
