M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2018: A Beginner’s Guide To Walking In Beauty with Petrina Kow and Anita Kapoor (Interview)

Petrina Kow is a storyteller. And we don’t mean that metaphorically – she is, after all, a co-founder of storytelling platform Telling Stories Live,  and as a vocal and speech trainer, not to mention a former top radio deejay, she’s basically a master of the spoken word. So when she was approached by M1 Singapore Fringe Festival artistic director Sean Tobin to do a show this year, naturally, … Continue reading M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2018: A Beginner’s Guide To Walking In Beauty with Petrina Kow and Anita Kapoor (Interview)

M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2018: An Interview with Kenneth Chia and Mitchell Fang (One Thousand Millennials Crying)

Lazy. Entitled. Selfish. Shallow. Narcissistic. These are probably some of the most common generalizations about the millennial generation (loosely defined as those born between the late 80s and early 2000s). So what happens when you ask an actual millennial to respond to those accusations? You might just get something like One Thousand Millennials Crying, as co-creators and theatremakers Kenneth Chia and Mitchell Fang premiere this self-reflexive, comedic … Continue reading M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2018: An Interview with Kenneth Chia and Mitchell Fang (One Thousand Millennials Crying)

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)

From her years of experience as a theatre director leading up to the award-winning BITCH, to her stint as a choreographer in RAW Moves’ Indices of Vanishment, Podesta’s breadth of work has grown from strength to strength, … Continue reading M1 Fringe Festival 2018: The Immortal Sole by Edith Podesta (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

Preview: The Curious Incident of The Dog In The Night Time by The National Theatre (presented by SRT)

I remember when I first caught The Curious Incident of The Dog In The Night-Time on West End. Having heard so much praise heaped on about it (and having read Mark Haddon’s original novel), I just had to see the biggest theatrical phenomenon yet. And sure enough, I wasn’t disappointed when I finally got the chance to a little over a year ago. So it really … Continue reading Preview: The Curious Incident of The Dog In The Night Time by The National Theatre (presented by SRT)

Review: Sure on the Shining Night

When one thinks of Christmas, music and song undoubtedly come to mind, whether it’s Christmas carollers going door to door, sitting in church listening to the choir, or simply the buzz of Christmas pop as you go about your holiday shopping.
