Review: Platform Series – Journeys by Generasia

Generasia gives Erwin Shah Ismail and Kimberly Chan a platform to showcase their range of talents in two solo performances.  One of the biggest gripes we’ve always had with the theatre scene is that as wonderful and skilled the current generation of actors is, there’s been a severe lack of platforms to truly let new, emerging talents have their time in the spotlight and show … Continue reading Review: Platform Series – Journeys by Generasia

M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2018: All In by ATRESBANDES (Review)

EDM, North Korea and storage space collapse into an absurdist reflection on the difficulty of remaining an individual in an already overcrowded world.  Two figures clad in black zentai suits discuss getting a self storage space in distorted voices. A man finds his opinions constantly silenced and quashed whenever he raises them to his ‘friends’. A ghostly figure meets a red suited, Japanese-speaking man in … Continue reading M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2018: All In by ATRESBANDES (Review)

M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2018: If there’s not dancing at the revolution, I’m not coming by Julia Croft (Review)

An unusually moving neo-burlesque reflection on film and pop culture’s influence on women.  One of the key theories any film studies student learns early on is the concept of the male gaze and visual pleasure, coined by seminal film critic Laura Mulvey. In short, it’s a concept that discusses how Hollywood films are essentially born from an unconscious patriarchal desire to derive pleasure from voyeurism … Continue reading M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2018: If there’s not dancing at the revolution, I’m not coming by Julia Croft (Review)

Review: We, The Singaporeans by The Royal Dance-Off Company

Contemporary dance often has the unfortunate association with descriptors like ‘enigmatic’ and ‘abstract’, and too easily, one fears walking out of the theatre having understood nothing but beautiful movements and choreography. Not so for The Royal Dance-Off Company (TRDOco). Under artistic director Ryan Tan, the company’s 2018 annual production has started off the year’s dance calendar on an incredibly hopeful note, having found a way to … Continue reading Review: We, The Singaporeans by The Royal Dance-Off Company

Review: Love at First Squat <3 by The Passionate Dancing Elders

Sometimes, life throws you one of the best coincidences you can hope to find. Before we begin this review, here’s a little backstory: after catching a show at the Esplanade, we were walking past the Esplanade underground area where dancers usually practice and spotted a large group of dancers rehearsing. Not usually one to stop and stare, we were struck with how in sync these … Continue reading Review: Love at First Squat ❤ by The Passionate Dancing Elders

Described as a ‘dance drama’, Resolute follows a tale of morality and virtue, as three strangers – a judge, doctor and lawyer meet under trying circumstances, each of them facing their own moral dilemmas and internal demons. An easy to follow storyline with … Continue reading Review: Resolute by Xin Yi Dance Company
