Singapore Night Festival 2016: The Wheel House by Acrojou (UK)

Amongst the highlights of the first weekend of the Singapore Night Festival, we were particularly interested in Acrojou’s The Wheel House. Having debuted in 2006 (a whopping ten years ago!), the Wheel House is a truly unique piece of street performance mixing acrobatics with a quirky ‘stage’. Acrojou, ‘The Wheel House’ from Acrojou on Vimeo. Acrojou’s Wheel House could very well be set in the … Continue reading Singapore Night Festival 2016: The Wheel House by Acrojou (UK)

Singapore Night Festival 2016: Husk

Coconut water’s been all the rage recently, and in our humid weather, it’s the number one solution to quenching our thirst. With coconut water providing the much needed boost of electrolytes and natural sugars, it’s the best way to quench that insatiable thirst. That was exactly how we felt after checking out the various events around Bras Basah and Bugis for the Singapore Night Festival, … Continue reading Singapore Night Festival 2016: Husk

Review:06:58 by The Rooftop Collective 19/8/16

Started in 2016, The Rooftop Collective aims to “harness the power of collaboration”, creating new devised, interdisciplinary works.  06:58 is their virgin production, with the title referring to the time of day. (Coincidentally its exactly my normal alarm time as well) Directed by NYU theatre major Sim Yan Ying, 06:58 explores the daily morning rituals of the millennial generation. From struggling to stop hitting the snooze button, … Continue reading Review:06:58 by The Rooftop Collective 19/8/16

Preview: 6:58 by The Rooftop Collective

Look closer, think deeper. Feel. What is the morning? 06:58 is a new devised piece by The Rooftop Collective about the seemingly banal daily morning routine (hence the name), and an exploration and experiment to find out how different art forms can coalesce in interesting and organic ways to re-present the mundane nature of life. This is the Rooftop Collective’s first piece, and the performance will … Continue reading Preview: 6:58 by The Rooftop Collective

Asia’s First Spongebob Run!

On Saturday, the first ever Spongebob Run was held in Asia! Considering it was held on Sentosa, over at Siloso Beach, we were all prepared to pay the entry fee to get onto the island. When we headed up to the monorail though, we were pleasantly surprised to see a designated priority line for runners to queue up and get onto the monorail for free. … Continue reading Asia’s First Spongebob Run!

Review: Rosnah by The Necessary Stage [5/8/16]

Rosnah is one of those classic Necessary Stage plays that hasn’t been onstage in a while. This year’s edition, presented as part of the Esplanade’s annual Pesta Raya Malay Festival of Arts, is being performed for the first time in Malay since first being staged at Tampines Regional Library in 1995. Siti K is certainly the most prolific and well known Malay theatre actress right now, … Continue reading Review: Rosnah by The Necessary Stage [5/8/16]

Review: Orpheus In The Underworld by New Opera Singapore [29/7/16]

Opera has always been a bit of a divisive art form for me. Too often, I see it as something less accessible, and reserved for the most elite of audiences. New Opera Singapore has proved me wrong with this production of Orpheus In The Underworld, and I’m glad I got the chance to catch it. New Opera Singapore celebrated its 5th anniversary with another stellar … Continue reading Review: Orpheus In The Underworld by New Opera Singapore [29/7/16]

Review: International Friendship Day by The Necessary Stage [27/7/16]

The Necessary Stage has always been a mainstay of Singapore’s theatre scene, covering all kinds of topics from political pieces to collaborations with overseas theatre companies, making for some very interesting pieces. But what they also do regularly is community type theatre, often written with a very specific message in mind that addresses pertinent issues in society, such as When The Bough Breaks and post-natal depression. This … Continue reading Review: International Friendship Day by The Necessary Stage [27/7/16]
