1997 - Explosion!
Short Description
Project Director
Kok Heng Leun
In 1995, however, the National Arts Council decided to stop YPT. It was with regret that my colleagues and I heard this. The building of new audiences must be a continuous and long-term effort.
Young people's theatre is an art form that needs nourishing for it to grow. it is different from mainstream adult theatre in its approach, methodology and forms. A specific focus on young people's theatre is particularly important in Singapore where we have a diversity of cultural heritage to draw from. With this resource, young people's theatre can go far and in time, evolve to become a vibrant part of Singapore's indigenous theatre.
