M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2018: The Most Massive Woman Wins by Mitchell Productions Inc. & Chopt Logic Productions (Review)

Mudwrestling meets body image issues as this production weighs in on the way society has taught women to be perceived and to perform.  Since the dawn of time, humans have always been obsessed with their bodies, and perhaps, none more so than the female body. Brought up on a steady diet of women’s magazines with stick thin covergirls, constantly told that ladies shouldn’t be eating … Continue reading M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2018: The Most Massive Woman Wins by Mitchell Productions Inc. & Chopt Logic Productions (Review)

M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2018: Attempts: Singapore by Rei Poh (Review)

There’s no need for any hints as to how much we enjoyed this impeccably produced participatory theatre experience.  In a world of innovative theatrical experiences, you often come across too many that scrimp on either execution or narrative. That’s not the case for Rei Poh’s Attempts: Singapore, which provided a thoroughly well-planned out participatory ‘game’ as its audience worked together to unravel a mystery, one clue at … Continue reading M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2018: Attempts: Singapore by Rei Poh (Review)

M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2018: The Neighbor’s Grief Is Greener by Emanuella Amichai (Review)

Stepford wives from 1950s America get a macabre, surreal twist in this bloody good show.  There are times we find ourselves wondering when exactly the seeds of feminism were sown. In 1940s America, as men were shipped off to become soldiers during the war, the running of the country was left to women, as wives stepped foot into factories and worked for the first time. … Continue reading M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2018: The Neighbor’s Grief Is Greener by Emanuella Amichai (Review)

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: An Interview with Rei Poh (Attempts: Singapore)

Rei Poh is a geek who likes video games. And being the innovative theatremaker he is, it makes complete sense that he’d apply it to his work as well. We decided to spontaneously meet up with Rei on bump in day to find out a little more about just what his mysterious new show, Attempts: Singapore is all about. “I used to work with Drama Box and we … Continue reading M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2018: An Interview with Rei Poh (Attempts: Singapore)

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)
