Review: Bitten – Return To Our Roots by Thong Pei Qin and Dr Nidya Shanthini Manokara

Blood ties run deep as this production gets bitten by the history bug. Dengue fever may seem like an unexpected and morbid inspiration to create an entire show around, but for Bitten: Return to Our Roots creators Thong Pei Qin and Dr Nidya Shanthini Manokara, it’s an affliction that doubled as a metaphor and the beginnings of an ongoing exploration into their past, present and future. Inspired … Continue reading Review: Bitten – Return To Our Roots by Thong Pei Qin and Dr Nidya Shanthini Manokara

Review: Charlie by Bhumi Collective

A brief encounter with a true innocent. In the wake of politically-charged, tumultuous events such as the rise of Brexit and POTUS Trump, the world as we know it has changed irrevocably, a much more terrifying place to wake up in each morning. How does one stand to live everyday like this? In Bhumi Collective’s Charlie, actress Victoria Chen has imagined a hypothetical situation in which a … Continue reading Review: Charlie by Bhumi Collective

Bitten – Return to Our Roots: An Interview with Co-Creator Thong Pei Qin

It’s quite incredible to think that what once started as a strange fever dream is about to evolve into an entire production. Specifically, some years back, when theatremaker Thong Pei Qin was bitten by an Aedes mosquito and contracted dengue fever, talking about the experience with colleague and longtime friend Dr Nidya Shanthini Manokara led to the creation of the aptly named Bitten.  “Talking about this … Continue reading Bitten – Return to Our Roots: An Interview with Co-Creator Thong Pei Qin

Even in a garden city like Singapore, there are times the grey cityscape gets to us, and it can be difficult to find a patch of green, and while guerilla gardening itself may not be necessary, it is the spirit and philosophy of … Continue reading Preview: A Green Dot by A Little RAW (RAW Moves)

Review: Journey To Nowhere (Southernmost – One Table Two Chairs Project 2018)

Company dancers Matthew Goh and Stephanie Rae Yoong are encased in a cloth bag, each attempting to find comfort within the limited space they share with each … Continue reading Review: Close Company by RAW Moves
