SUMMARY:Sound Plot: True/South\, A Collection of Audio Plays
DESCRIPTION:𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗹𝗼𝘁: 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗲/𝗦𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵 is a collection of audio plays responding to the geographical area of Tanjong Pagar/Pasir Panjang where the Singapore Art Museum currently resides. With audio design by Artwave Studio\, the plays first premiered as part of Singapore Art Week\, each with an audio spot installation at the museum and now available online as well. \nThe three short audio plays (of which the latter 2 were selected through our Open Call) are: \nSea Song  \nAdvisory: Contains some coarse language \nLaurie and Scott settle into their new expatriate lives at Sentosa Cove only to discover that not all is as it seems. Beneath the ostentatious luxuries of modern Singapore lie the sea and the land seething in their grief; and as Laurie’s connection to them grows she discovers that this loss is collective and communal. \nPlaywright: Joel Tan\nDirector: Cherilyn Woo\nActors: Julie Wee\, Daniel Jenkins\, Ching Shu Yi\, Serene Chen\, Tysha Khan\, Irsyad Dawood\, Joel Tan \nGhazal of the Banana Tree’s Heart \n\n\nA solitary banana tree remains on the shore\, the sole survivor amongst its compatriots\, lost to the need for the space they occupied; a lone banana tree that is the last repository of the stories of those shores – of fishermen\, turtles and the sea itself. Alone it sings the same refrain – but who listens? \nPlaywright: Danial Matin\nDirector: Grace Kalaiselvi\nActors: Suhaili Safari & Shahid Nasheer \nFragments of a Singaporean Hainanese \nAt the opening of a new exhibition on the Hainanese community in Singapore\, memories are excavated through the stories of three Hainanese immigrants of different generations\, their connections to an island they left for another\, and the sea that connects them. \nPlaywright: Wang Liansheng\nDirector: Lim Shien Hian\nActors: Jalyn Han\, Hang Qian Chou\, Rino Junior John\, Mitchell Fang

SUMMARY:Open Call for Writers – Sound Plot: ULU
DESCRIPTION:Sound Plot is Centre 42’s audio plays series\, each edition drawing on a certain geographic area in Singapore. This edition\, produced in collaboration with the NTU Museum\, zooms in on Jurong West and its surrounding area\, where the university is located. \nThis is an invitation for two writers to respond through audio drama to this fascinating area\, guided by the curatorial prompt “Ulu”. Selected writers will need to be available for an intensive 3-week script development phase in October 2024\, and will work with a director during the recording and production process in November & December 2024. Audio production will be done in collaboration with Artwave Studio\, and slated for release online in January 2025. \nThis is a paid opportunity\, and commissioned writers will receive $1\,000 each. \n\n\n\n\nTO APPLY\n\n\n\n\nApplication period runs from 5 August 2024 (12pm) to 15 September 2024 (12pm). Please complete this online form to submit the following: \n\nYour updated CV. Highlight your experience in writing for / working in the audio medium.\nA writing sample of no more than 10 pages. This should be from an existing stage play\, audio play\, or screenplay.\nYour proposal for a 15-minute audio play\, which must:\n\nrespond to the curatorial prompt below\ntell us about the curiosity\, fascination\, or other impulse that draws you to this work\, and how you imagine this play might delve into these ideas\ndescribe your ideas for the narrative\, characters\, and world that the play takes place in\nbe no more than 2 pages.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCURATORIAL PROMPT\n\n\n\n\nULU \nJurong West tends to be the butt of our “ulu” jokes. After all\, it’s where we seem to tuck away things we’d rather not see: cemeteries\, a man-made island heaving with chemicals\, and secretive military bases. \nBut if we look beneath this industrial veneer – always building\, always reclaiming – what other stories might we find? Here thrum large swathes of undeveloped secondary forest\, rewilding over the memories of the gambier plantations that kickstarted Singapore’s endless development. Here\, the coast hugs the mouth of the Straits of Johor\, where we can still imagine our deep connections to ancient kingdoms. Here lies a large university town\, filled with utopian architecture that tells a story about a world that could be so much better and kinder to the earth. And here lie the hopes and dreams of new families looking to build lives in one of the fastest-growing residential zones on the island\, each built-to-order flat remaking the “ulu” face of the Western region. \nWe invite you to write a play that reckons in any way with these ideas. Whether you’re curious about the many layers of history in Jurong West; have a story to tell about the diverse range of people who live\, work\, and play here; or have a speculative tale about its future\, we want to hear your ideas! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSCHEDULE\n\n\n\n\nThe turnaround for these audio plays will be quick and intensive. Selected writers will need to be available for the phases outlined below and commit to the duration of the project. \n5 August – 15 September: \n\nOpen Call for Proposals\nPrepare your documents and apply via this form\n\n20 September: \n\nSelected writers will be notified\n\n1 October – 21 October: \n\nScript development intensive\nWriters will need to be available to turn in drafts of their script\, engage in discussions with script dramaturg\, director\, sound designer and producer\n\n27 October – 10 December:\nAudio pre and production phase \n\nWriters will need to be ready for script edits\, rehearsals with voice actors and director\, and participate in the recording process\n\n6 January – 17 February: \n\nAudio post-production phase: reviewing of edits and final publishing\n\n20 January – 28 February \n\nLaunch of Audio Plays\, starting from 20 January 2025

SUMMARY:Playing With Fire by Checkpoint Theatre
DESCRIPTION:With climate catastrophe on the horizon\, why would anyone want to work in oil and gas? \nHaving secured interviews with several employees of the petrochemical industry\, this is the question a determined young writer expects to answer. Instead\, Sue Rozario finds herself uncovering a troubling web of connections between the oil and gas industry\, Singapore’s modern development\, and her own family history. As she delves deeper into her research\, she is forced to confront layers of hidden truths – not only of her interviewees’ personal and professional lives\, but also of her own. \nPlaying With Fire shares a profoundly human look into Singapore’s industrial past and present\, while placing the complexities of a just energy transition under a microscope. \nCheyenne Alexandria Phillips’ sharp\, sophisticated writing shines in this new play that interrogates the relationships between people and industry with empathy and nuance. Claire Wong’s skilful direction anchors an exceptional cast\, comprising Rebecca Ashley Dass\, Cheryl Lee\, Gosteloa Spancer\, Nora Samosir\, and Rafaat Haji Hamzah\, who bring the complexities and tensions of this thrilling work to life. \nTimely and compelling\, Playing With Fire examines how we have become implicated in the climate crisis\, and asks what it would take to break out of it. \n  \nDuration: Approximately 90 minutes \nRating: G

SUMMARY:Oleanna
DESCRIPTION:“You. Do. Not. Have. The. Power.” \nCarol\, a college student\, approaches her professor for help with her classwork. A seemingly innocuous consultation session explodes into a series of accusations and altercations about elitism\, education\, and sexual harassment. \nPresented by The Windland Collective and Major Minor Encounters\, David Mamet’s Oleanna remains as complex and controversial as ever as it challenges the present day notions of feminist ideology and political correctness. \nDirected by: Grace Kalaiselvi\nCast: Choy Chee Yew and Swathilakshmi Perumal \nVenue: 42 Waterloo Street Black Box\nTicket prices: $30\, $25.50 (Senior Citizens\, Full-time Students and NSFs)

SUMMARY:The Sisters Soong
DESCRIPTION:The Actors Studio unveils its biggest production of 2024. Written by Joe Hasham OAM and directed by Dato’ Dr Faridah Merican\, The Sisters Soong is a brand-new play that relates the story of the famous and somewhat infamous sisters; three of the most influential siblings of 20th century China. \nBorn in China and educated in America\, “Big Sister” Ai-ling married banker H.H. Kung\, who later became Finance Minister\, “Red Sister” Ching-ling married the Father of Modern China\, Sun Yat-sen\, and “Little Sister” Mei-ling married Chiang Kai-shek. \nIn this modern retelling that alternates between fact and fiction\, the playwright has taken some artistic license and cleverly woven this family saga that spans a century with the help of a narrator. \nThe Sisters Soong will be brought to life by an award-winning cast with choreography by Kenny Shim\, costuming by Beatrice Looi\, music and arrangement by Tan Zhi Yong against a set by Scenographer Yusman Mokhtar and live music under the baton of Maestro Lee Kok Leong. \nAbout TAS Seni Teater Rakyat\nSince its inception in 1989\, The Actors Studio has been presenting groundbreaking theatre in Malaysia.
