Living Soil Series – Exploring the future of Ground-Up Initiative through Social Presencing Theatre
June 14 @ 2:30 pm - 5:30 pm
$30 – $80
As the good people of Ground-Up Initiative (GUI), a grassroots urban intervention living and breathing the kampung spirit through active community participation, bid their home goodbye, the community is rebuilding GUI again in its new location, starting from the soil. Dealing with this impermanence, GUI’s core team wish is for GUI’s work to transcend everywhere in Singapore, growing this movement, one built on care, connection, and collective action, beyond the new land – What is the future of GUI? What is next after GUI completes building their new home?
Join us as we explore the future of GUI using Social Presencing Theatre (SPT), an embodied social arts-based change method for making visible current reality and exploring emerging future possibilities. Through this collaborative creative process, participants will embody roles within a system, using movement, positioning, stillness and spoken expression to uncover insights about the present state of GUI and its emerging possibilities of cultivating spaces to nurture connectedness, creativity and risk-taking across Singapore.
No prior experience is needed—just an open mind, open heart and open will to engage in this creative, body-based inquiry. Come move, reflect, and co-create a vision for a 21st century kampung culture everywhere in Singapore.
