Frontier Danceland presents LEAP 2023
2023-03-10 20:00 - 2023-03-18 21:30 (Asia/Shanghai) | Goodman Arts Centre & Frontier Danceland Studio (Meeting Point), 90 Goodman Road, Block M, #02-51/52, Singapore, Singapore, 439053, Singapore
LEAP is a culmination of the young performers’ training in the PULSE Programme, a one-year contemporary dance training and development initiative by Frontier Danceland.
LEAP 2023 features an inaugural site-specific co-creation that explores a revisitation of what is closest to us, which tends to be often neglected. This negotiation of nearness in space, time and relationship invites an engagement in conversations with ourselves in regard to how we have thus far responded to the very immediate environment that we exist.
Come experience the diverse co-existence between people and architecture in refreshed ways through a journey that unfolds through Frontier Danceland Studio and Goodman Arts Centre!

NUS Arts Festival 2023: Spaces Between
2023-03-10 20:00 - 2023-03-26 17:00, 2023-03-10 20:00 - 2023-03-26 20:00 (Asia/Shanghai) | NUS University Cultural Centre, 50 Kent Ridge Cres, Singapore, 119279, Singapore
NUS Arts Festival returns to campus with our latest edition: Spaces Between!
Running across 3 weekends in March, you’ll be spoilt for choice with over 20 different shows spanning multiple genres and disciplines like dance, music, theatre, film, art installations, dialogue, and more!
The theme Spaces Between examines the idea of liminal spaces, the uncomfortable unknown as we transition between phases, and states. While liminal spaces bring discomfort and ambiguity, they also present us with opportunities for growth and positive change, physically, emotionally, and metaphorically.
In a world of diverse and divided views, NUS Arts Festival 2023: Spaces Between seeks to show how art can build connections and demonstrate that there is more to gain in the spaces between.

Objectifs Film Club: Tenebrae by Nicole Midori Woodford
2023-03-21 19:30 - 20:30 (Asia/Shanghai) | Objectifs Centre for Photography and Film, 155 Middle Road, Singapore, 188977, Singapore
Objectifs Film Club: Tenebrae by Nicole Midori Woodford
Tue 21 Mar 2023, 7.30pm to 8.30pm
Venue: Objectifs Workshop Space
Free admission, please RSVP here.
The word ‘renewal’ is seldom distant from the collective Singaporean consciousness. Bringing to mind the age-old national narrative of constant progress and development, where our skills and environment are forever subjected to upgrading, the beginning of each new year also encloses the word within a more personal sphere as we contemplate changes to old habits and come up with new year resolutions.
Come join us at our first Film Club session of the year, which will feature a screening of Tenebrae by Nicole Midori Woodford. This will be followed by a conversation between the filmmaker herself and Singaporean poet, Crispin Rodrigues, who will be reading a poem in tandem with the screening. Besides looking at what is lost and gained when renewal takes place, the discussion will also examine other pertinent questions drawn out by the film – like what, for instance, irrevocably leaves its mark, and how moving images and poetry alike can capture both situational gravitas and the emotions that bubble beneath during processes of renewal.
Learn about the film here.

Burying Children
2023-03-22 19:30 - 2023-03-26 16:00 (Asia/Shanghai) | Esplanade Theatre Studio, 1 Esplanade Dr, Singapore, 038981, Singapore
Who mandates the life of a child? Set in a world with a zero child policy as an answer to overpopulation and conflicts over resources, Burying Children follows the lives of a nomadic community of women who leave the City in protest, and seek refuge back in mother nature. Examining processes of burying children within ourselves or abandoning the very idea of bearing children in a world without hope for the future, this ensemble dance theatre work follows several stories in search of freedom, reprieve, or revenge.

Checkpoint Theatre presents Brown Boys Don’t Tell Jokes – A New Play by Myle Yan Tan
2023-03-23 20:00 - 2023-04-02 16:30 (Asia/Shanghai) | Drama Centre Black Box, Singapore, Select a Country:
The eve of an election. A politician, a musician, an activist, an academic, and a therapist reunite after several years. As the five friends catch up on the different paths their lives have taken, they realise their rose-tinted memories might be the only thing holding them together. With secrets unravelling, old conflicts reawakening, and a threat looming, the five are forced to confront the boys they once were, and the men they want to become.

Playwright Myle Yan Tay’s powerful and incisive play lays bare the tensions of male friendship with sharp humour and searching questions. As past mistakes lead to dire consequences, should loyalty prevail over shifting values? What does it take to be a friend?
Huzir Sulaiman’s deft direction illuminates the finely-crafted text, interrogating what it means to be a brown boy in Singapore. With a stellar ensemble cast comprising Gosteloa Spancer, Krish Natarajan, Ebi Shankara, Adib Kosnan, and Shahid Nasheer, Brown Boys Don’t Tell Jokes is a nuanced and unflinching examination of friendship, race, and masculinity in our country.

Abha will introduce major characters, who act out the highs and lows of human conduct in the story, teaching by example in a simple and effective way. Be entertained by a selection of tales and the story of the Panchatantra’s travels to foreign lands.

“Nature of Art” book Launch (family-friendly event)
Seen thousands of times, the seemingly ordinary sights of Singapore nature hide stories that were never told. “I love to explore the nature of the garden city. I love taking paths less traveled to soak nature scenes with its visuals, smells, and noises. Together with my family, we love making up stories about what we see.” – shares Inessa.
Another day we spotted the butterflies by the lake flying in an unusual manner: as if they can see something that we cannot. “They are not alone. Dragon Number 7 is there too. He is just invisible to earth walkers.” – guessed our daughter.
This book and the exhibition is an attempt to share these fantasies through whimsical visual worlds of Inessa’s artworks and poems by Alice Kalabekova. Bamboos, rustic benches, butterflies, and water lilies of Singapore parks… you won’t be able to see them the same again.
Programme highlights:- be surprised by artist’s stories on how ordinary sights of Singapore parks led to creation of whimsical worlds of artworks,- be mesmerized by artworks-inspired poems recited by the 12 y.o. author- hunt for dragons & mythical creatures hidden in the artworks
Book: “Nature of Art”, artworks by Inessa Kalabekova, poems by Alice KalabekovaDate: March 25, 2023 (Sat)
Time: 10.30am-11.30pm & 4pm-5pm

Beyond & Back
2023-03-25 12:00 - 2023-04-02 21:00 (Asia/Shanghai) | The Arts House, Gallery II, 1 Old Parliament Ln, 179429, Singapore
BEYOND & BACK features recent paintings by two young and emerging local artists:
Dominic Thian & Matthias Chua. The paintings presented seek to go beyond trending
and contemporary modes of engagement with art. What is hoped will emerge is an
authentic raison-d’etre—a simple and harmonious manner of creating and
appreciating art.
The viewer will see works inspired by ethereal impressions of light, and pieces that
tap into the unlimited expressive potential of the human figure. Our artists will
showcase a repertoire of work which includes scintillating outdoor etudes, delicate and
intricate still-life paintings, and a tour-de force of portraits and monumental figurative
work.
Just as how the early Nanyang generation were enthralled by the modernist
movement toward more primitive modes and motifs of expression, so too do the works
here revere more primordial manners of perception to explore the sophistication of
expression instead of the deconstructivism that is popular today.
The exhibition doors are open for viewers to join us at The Arts House from Saturday
March 25th to Sunday April 2nd.
