Review: Snakes & Ladders – Life Edition! by Dwayne Lau

Dwayne Lau shows you how to find the silver lining in every moment, in this sincere, autobiographical show disguised as an interactive cabaret. There’s something charmingly chaotic about Snakes and Ladders: Life Edition!, a 40-minute cabaret-style solo show performed by actor Dwayne at the Esplanade Concourse. Free and open to the public, it’s an earnest, heartfelt experiment in autobiographical performance, part-musical, part-game-show, part-memoir, as well … Continue reading Review: Snakes & Ladders – Life Edition! by Dwayne Lau

Concert Review: Kamasi Washington – Fearless Movement at Capitol Theatre

Kamasi Washington is the kind of man who brings jazz into the new age, utilising unusual riffs and instrumentation to add on to his preexisting body of work. Let’s start with a caveat: I’m not a jazz person and can’t recognise the specific technicalities that go into jazz, but if anything, the crowd at capitol theatre was buzzing as they gathered before the show. It … Continue reading Concert Review: Kamasi Washington – Fearless Movement at Capitol Theatre

★★★★★ Review: Waiting For Audience by Nine Years Theatre

There’s good reason why so many parents in Singapore dissuade their children from pursuing a career in the arts; as much as it’s an industry that brings entertainment, joy and provokes thoughts in the countless audiences who witness it, it’s also a notoriously unstable scene, … Continue reading ★★★★★ Review: Waiting For Audience by Nine Years Theatre
