An Interview with Joanna Dong on risk taking and reinvention in her immersive sound and sculpture performance ‘BIG BIG small small’

For Joanna Dong, better known as a jazz vocalist and local musical star, the shift into experimental, interdisciplinary performance isn’t a reinvention so much as a return to something unfinished. Long before she became widely recognised through television and large-scale performances, she was already drawn to work that resisted neat categorisation, pieces that blurred sound, movement, and space into something less easily named. “Going into … Continue reading An Interview with Joanna Dong on risk taking and reinvention in her immersive sound and sculpture performance ‘BIG BIG small small’

Zarina: Directions to My House (6 June – 1 August 2026), the institution’s Annual Special Exhibition, is the most comprehensive presentation of her work in Southeast Asia to date, bringing together … Continue reading Art: Zarina – Directions to My House at STPI

Flipside 2026: An interview with Guy Waerenburgh on risk, absurdity and the thrill of unpredictability in ‘Der Lauf (The Way Things Go)’

Contemporary circus rarely sits still, but Der Lauf (The Way Things Go) thrives in a state of beautiful collapse. Created by Belgian juggler and performer Guy Waerenburgh, the internationally acclaimed production transforms juggling into something far stranger and more theatrical: part cabaret, part endurance test, part social experiment. Blindfolded performers navigate towering stacks of wine glasses, spinning plates, flying buckets and razor-sharp knives, while the … Continue reading Flipside 2026: An interview with Guy Waerenburgh on risk, absurdity and the thrill of unpredictability in ‘Der Lauf (The Way Things Go)’

But for co-creator and performer Lachlan Binns, the goal was to go in the opposite direction. “We made the show … Continue reading Flipside 2026: Lachlan Binns on how ‘A Simple Space’ celebrates human connection, trust, and play

Flipside 2026: An Interview with Dwayne Lau on rolling with the punches with ‘Snakes and Ladders!’

For actor and musical theatre performer Dwayne Lau, his original work Snakes & Ladders! is a way of re-living, re-framing, and re-negotiating the unpredictable shape of a life that has unfolded very much like the board game at its centre. What began as a 40-minute showcase at the Esplanade Concourse has now grown into a full 90-minute theatrical experience a year later. But for Dwayne, … Continue reading Flipside 2026: An Interview with Dwayne Lau on rolling with the punches with ‘Snakes and Ladders!’
