SUMMARY:M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2025: The Troupe by Birds Migrant Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Language\nIn English\, with some Bahasa Indonesia\, Bengali and Burmese \nAccessibility Features\nOpen captions in English for all shows. \n  \nWith a good cast giving their all onstage\, an unflinching\, objectively written story that speaks truth to the limitations of being a migrant in Singapore\, and imaginative script that explores the pitfalls of love and family\, Foreign Bodies was a rare\, big-hearted\, honest glimpse into migrant life\, by migrant workers with a story to tell.\n \n— Bakchormeeboy.com on Foreign Bodies \n\nPlease welcome The Troupe! They travel around towns and villages with their show. They perform stories about farmers\, refugees\, students\, politicians and aid workers—people in search of a better life. As they stage their play\, they discover that what they perform may be closer to home than they realise. \nBirds Migrant Theatre returns to the Fringe with another important play that focuses on current world issues—from war to the refugee crisis—and how these tragedies pose questions to our common humanity. The Troupe looks at how people who are affected by displacement strive for a more positive future—not just for themselves\, but for their families and community. Will suffering and desperation bring out the best in people—or the worst? What is the price of compassion? \n \nForeign Bodies is a well-told story that dramatises the legal precarity migrant workers may face in Singapore. It does so without resorting to mere sympathy or an easy us-versus-them set-up\, choosing instead to let audiences into its protagonists’ dilemmas.\n \n—The Straits Times Life on Foreign Bodies \nThere will be a dialogue with the artists after the 5pm performance on 12 January 2025\, with speech to text interpretation available upon request. Please email your request to info@singaporefringe.com by 6 December 2024.

SUMMARY:M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2025: Eclipse by The Necessary Stage
DESCRIPTION:Accessibility Features\nOpen captions in English for all shows \nAbsorbingly told by [2008 staging’s actor] Umar Ahmed\, Eclipse suggests that ancestral memory is never as meaningful as the allegiances of everyday life. \n— The Guardian UK \n  \n  \n  \n(Playwright Haresh Sharma) has demonstrated a deftness and maturity in scriptwriting\, a deeper inquiry into life and humanity\, as well as an evident progress in terms of his creations. \n— 联合早报 Lianhe Zaobao [translated from Chinese] \nA young Singaporean man is making a journey to his father’s birthplace in Hyderabad\, Pakistan. With him are his father’s ashes. As he makes the arduous trip\, he retraces the original journey made by millions of people—including his parents and grandparents—in 1947\, during the partition of India and Pakistan. \nWritten by Cultural Medallion recipient Haresh Sharma\, Eclipse is a play that looks at three generations of men struggling with their dreams and their journeys\, offering an intimate look at personal stories affected by historical events. \nFirst presented as a short play to critical acclaim by Scotland’s 7:84 Theatre at Traverse Theatre\, Eclipse was developed into a full-length production for the M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2008. \nAlmost 80 years after the Partition\, this staging with a fresh new direction by Associate Artist A Yagnya stars award-winning Singapore actor Shrey Bhargava. It also features Indian classical vocalist Sveta Kilpady. \nThere will be a dialogue with the artists after the performances on 16 and 17 January 2025\, with speech to text interpretation available upon request for the dialogue on 17 January 2025.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Contemporary Performance is Dramaturgical
DESCRIPTION:A Public Lecture and Discussion by Peter Eckersall (USA) on the role of dramaturgy in making contemporary performance. \n  \nIn this lecture Peter Eckersall will discuss the role of dramaturgy in making contemporary performance. He will explore dramaturgy as an ‘expanded field’ of practices that include creative research\, writing\, devising practices and social practices. \nA key question will be how dramaturgy helps to make performances that are creative and aesthetically innovative while using the medium of theatre itself to make visible our political conditions and debate the future. \nWhat can the performing arts do and what are its limitations? What can dramaturgy bring to questions for performance makers\, dramaturgs\, and cultural thinkers? How does contemporary performance engage us in the ethical\, aesthetic\, and political questions of our times? \nRegister at: bit.ly/adnlecture2022 \n—– \nThis lecture is part of a workshop & lecture series by Peter Eckersall in Singapore titled “Contemporary Dramaturgy and Performance Practice”\, taking place 3 – 7 August 2022. \nFind out more here: https://bit.ly/ADNworkshop2022 \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKER \nPeter Eckersall teaches in the PhD Program in Theatre and Performance at the Graduate Centre\, City University of New York and is an Honorary Professorial Fellow\, University of Melbourne. He has a PhD in Japanese Studies\, and his research interests include Japanese performance\, new dramaturgy\, and ecocriticism in the performing arts. Recent publications include\, Okada Toshiki and Japanese Theatre\, (ed. with Barbara Geilhorn\, Andreas Regelsberger\, Cody Poulton\, 2021)\, Curating Dramaturgies (ed. with Bertie Ferdman\, 2021)\, The Routledge Companion to Performance and Politics (co-edited with Helena Grehan\, 2019).and Performativity and Event in 1960s Japan (2013).

ADN is collaboratively conceptualised with Centre 42 and held its inaugural ADN Symposium in Singapore in 2016. Since then\, various gatherings of dramaturgs\, performance makers and arts educators from around the Asia-Pacific region have taken place in Japan and Australia. ADN has most recently published ADN Re/View\, a series of three E-zines which offer snapshots of the work of ADN\, the ideas\, thinking and practices of contributors to the network since 2016.
