"Re-engineering the society of mind"

This work is in two parts: a photograph and a video projection. Together they serve a double function (duifungsi). First, the work as a whole should function as a "window" into historical period and the research carried out in that period by my mother and myself into cognition, agency, propaganda and art. Second, the work as a whole should function as a "mirror".

Essays/Writings

'I'm in Transit'

This essay/writing was reproduced courtesy of Alfian Sa'at.

The following is an extract from the essay/writing.

While there were other monologues and monodramas written at the cusp of the 90‟s,3 these were primarily penned by a playwright, with minimal input from the actors. It is quite possible that Rosnah is the first workshopped monodrama in Singapore. This might be a throwaway piece of theatre trivia, if not for the questions raised as a result of the respective cultural backgrounds of its creators.

Staging

'Scuse Me While I Kiss the Sky

In December 93, The Necessary Stage held auditions for a play that required people who had attempted suicide or thought about it. About 50 people turned up - each with a different story to share. Now 6 months later, after intensive discussions & improvisations we present 'Scuse Me While I Kiss The Sky, an evening of sharing, of stories - sometimes startling, painful, sometimes funny...but always honest.

Twelve people come together to rehearse a play. It is their third rehearsal and they are just beginning to get to know one another. The first two rehearsals have been friendly and fun, but today, they are about to get into the 'topic'.

In the course of the rehearsal and the sharing, tension arises as they struggle to come to terms with the different temperaments. By the end of the evening, there is a realisation that all twelve are bound by a common experience - the rediscovery of life.

1599

A light hearted Italian monoperformance, reminiscent of street performance with music and songs about the story of the Cenci family during the Italian Renaissance: a history of politics, sex, blood and patricide. The performer uses the accordion as a "second actor" to complement the narrative. The performance also showcases the art of physical theatre and how it can be utilised in story-telling.

1965

1965 was a significant year in the history of Singapore. It was a year where Singapore experienced a spell of uncertainty and difficult decision making. It was the beginning of our birth as an independent nation. Set against this tumultuous backdrop is a story of friendship and loyalty. How much is one wiling to sacrifice for one's community?
