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:SIFA 2024: The Anatomy of Performance – They Declare
DESCRIPTION:Returning from 17 May to 2 June 2024\, the Singapore International Festival of Arts (SIFA) 2024 presents The Anatomy of Performance – They Declare\, an expression of the multiplicity of voices that the Festival welcomes and celebrates. With Festival Director\, Natalie Hennedige\, setting the direction of the Festival for a third year\, SIFA 2024 calls for audiences to embrace difference and make space for the coexistence of different beliefs and ways of being.  \n  \nSIFA 2024 continues to foster creative intersections\, progressive and original works that demonstrate how performance can be approached as a dynamic arena for artistic innovation and expression\, as well as reflect shifting perspectives today. Festivalgoers can look forward to a diverse line-up ranging from dynamic transnational collaborations\, exciting invited international presentations\, an engaging event that celebrates Singapore’s vibrant theatre scene\, as well as Little SIFA\, an all-new programming pillar dedicated to families and children. Examples of these highlights include:  \n\nMoby Dick by Norwegian director\, actress\, puppet-maker\, and artistic director of Plexus Polaire\, Yngvild Aspeli\, presents a 90-minute live adaptation of Herman Melville’s mythical work about an ancient white whale. Performed by a cast of seven actors\, fifty puppets\, and video projections\, the work employs filmic techniques\, captivating puppetry\, and clever stagecraft to manipulate the audience’s perspective.\nSUARA / Oro Rua by Singapore music artist Safuan Johari and Māori Choreographer Eddie Elliot features original compositions\, choral singers\, and New Zealand dance artists to imagine a post-Anthropocene future.\nSingapore theatre-makers Haresh Sharma and Chong Tze Chien’s The Prose and the Passion is a play where fictional characters from English novelist E. M. Forster’s novels traverse space and time and interact with characters from Sharma’s imagination. \nFirst showcased at the 2019 Venice Biennale\, internationally-acclaimed award-winning experiential opera performance Sun & Sea by Rugilė Barzdžiukaitė\, Vaiva Grainytė\, Lina Lapelytė\, will make its Singapore debut at SIFA 2024. An ecological work at its very core\, the work takes the form of an imitation beach indoors where its lounging performers sing about mundane existence\, worry\, and boredom\, darkly remarking on the Earth’s decline.\nTransforming Stamford Arts Centre into a sandbox of works-in-process\, Tomorrow and tomorrow is an extraordinary opportunity to witness the diverse practices of local theatre groups on a single platform\, opening up vistas for future presentations while unearthing Singapore’s fertile ground for contemporary theatre-making.\nAs part of Little SIFA\, The Dancer’s Fair beckons audiences of all ages to Cathay Green\, where a larger-than-life ballerina and an old-style fair comprising seven fascinating machines await. Catch Leonardo! A Wonderful Show About A Terrible Monster\, where Mo Willems’ books are brought to life with hundreds of illustrated paper puppets\, book pages\, two-dimensional props\, furry monster puppets and songs.\nSIFA’s online presence continues with the light gleams an instant\, a 9-minute experimental short film helmed by film artist Natalie Soh in collaboration with Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum and Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music that responds to the museum’s collections of specimens\, exploring the recursive and decaying nature of memory and meaning-making.\n\nSIFA 2024 is commissioned by the National Arts Council and organised by the Arts House Limited.

SUMMARY:Dramaturgs &: In conversation with Choreographers
DESCRIPTION:DRAMATURGS & is a capsule series of roundtable conversations centering the work of and relationship between dramaturgs and their artistic collaborators. Dramaturgical thinking and application is integral in the work of all artists\, yet a dramaturg’s role affords a dedicated lens that can expand and challenge artistic decisions. In cosy and candid sessions\, we aim to unpack the relational\, intricate and often invisible work of dramaturgs in creative processes and within artistic teams. \nThe second of this year’s series is DRAMATURGS & CHOREOGRAPHERS\, where we explore the working relationships between these two roles. When and how do choreographers invite a dramaturg into the choreographic process? What tensions arise between the choreographer’s creative autonomy and the dramaturg’s perspectives and insights? How might a dramaturg help the choreographer sustain and nurture (or nourish?) their practice over the long term? \nJoin us to unpack these questions (and more) in a conversation facilitated by Dr Nidya Shanthini Manokara\, and hear from a panel of local and international dance-makers Dapheny Chen\, Ricky Sim and Guy Cools.
