But in the case of the Esplanade’s Failing the Dance, the double-bill of lecture-performances makes a compelling case for the viability of the form, and its ability to raise awareness of issues and dialogue, and manifesting these arguments through … Continue reading Review: Failing the Dance – A Double Bill of Lecture-Performances (da:ns Festival 2020)

Review: From Here On by Singapore Dance Theatre

Series of four pas de deux reflects the state of the arts and gives us hope that live performances will be back in full before long.  Considering it’s been so long since theatres and performance venues shuttered, it feels like nothing short of a miracle that we were sitting in a theatre again on Wednesday evening.

Review: Lost Cinema 20/20 by Brian Gothong Tan (The Studios Online)

The subconscious mind collides with filmmaking in a theatrical homage to classic cinema, and a wistful reflection on loss.  If the mind is a cinema, then our dreams are the feature films it screens when we fall asleep, crafted from a combination of our subconscious thoughts and lived experiences.
