What this results in is fresh, temporal works that elevate simple floristry and flower arrangement to the next level, to the extent they become akin to art. Recognising this distinctive quality, THH has now … Continue reading Floristry as an Art: An Interview with This Humid House co-Creative Directors John Lim and Françoise Ozawa

From Singapore to the World: An Interview with Faizal Abdullah and Nur Khairiyah on bringing ‘Siapa Yang Bawa Melayu Aku Pergi?’ to Edinburgh

SIFA 2023: An Interview with Thanapol Virulhakul, director of ‘INTERMISSION’

In INTERMISSION, traditional Thai music and contemporary dance practice intertwine to examine the body as a political site and the sociopolitical power of dance.

A single … Continue reading SIFA 2023: An Interview with Thanapol Virulhakul, director of ‘INTERMISSION’

SIFA 2023: An Interview with ‘BLKDOG’ director/choreographer Botis Seva

The black dog of depression very rarely leaves.
