But taboos can be dangerous things, if we do not speak of them, and bring into the open the knowledge we need to better deal with it. As a champion of personal healthcare, … Continue reading Love Your Vulva: An Interview with Cynthia Chua, founder of Spa Esprit Group, Strip, and TWO LIPS

For those not in the field, architecture can seem like a discipline reserved for the experts, where we can only take the buildings and environment around us at face value. But the truth is, when thought of as design, architecture manifests itself in so many ways beyond building plans and engineering, arising in almost every aspect of our life, constantly evolving as the human race … Continue reading Discovering The Blueprint Within: How ArchiFest 2021 Director Razvan Ghilic-Micu and Festival Curator Jane Chua are nurturing architects of the future

Film Fanatic: An Interview with Marrie Lee, star of cult action film ‘They Call Her…Cleopatra Wong’

As Singapore’s first and only female Interpol agent, it’s surprising how Cleopatra Wong isn’t more well-known on our shores. Making her debut in Bobby Suarez’s 1978 film They Call Her…Cleopatra Wong, the eponymous femme fatale made such an impact, even Quentin Tarantino (of Kill Bill fame) took inspiration from her. Spawning two more sequels in the years that followed, Cleopatra Wong is everything you could … Continue reading Film Fanatic: An Interview with Marrie Lee, star of cult action film ‘They Call Her…Cleopatra Wong’

With a name like the Asian Film Archive (AFA), it’s all too easy to assume that the organisation belongs somewhere in the past.

In … Continue reading Film Fanatic: An Interview with Asian Film Archive Executive Director Karen Chan, and Programmer Viknesh Kobinathan

Pangdemonium’s The Mother: An Interview with Tracie Pang and Janice Koh

It feels like Pangdemonium’s production of The Mother has been coming for a long time now. Naturally, having previously staged The Father and The Son, it seemed only a matter of time before they would complete Florian Zeller’s ‘family trilogy’, with this final piece of the puzzle. But beyond that, the production has had a chaotic journey over the year, facing not one but two … Continue reading Pangdemonium’s The Mother: An Interview with Tracie Pang and Janice Koh

But perhaps the ones that have gone unnoticed and are less prominent are the little guys, the independent theatre makers who also want their time … Continue reading The Concubine: An Interview with Adeeb Fazah and Isaiah Christopher Lee

George Town Festival 2021: An Interview with Haylin Cai, creator of Imaginarium

While the 2021 George Town Festival was planned as a hybrid festival, the ongoing lockdown measures implemented across the country have relegated most of its shows to either indefinite postponement, or taken online.
