Muhammed Faizad Bin Salim

Faizad one of the 8 Citizen Reviewers selected from the 2015 Open Call application.

In his undergraduate years in NUS, Faizad minored in Theatre Studies and upon graduation has grabbed every opportunity to dabble in theatre where possible. In 2007, he submitted a play for the inaugural Singapore Short +Sweet Festival which was shortlisted as one of the Top 40 plays and performed at The Arts House. He also directed Native Speaker written by Dean Lundquist, as part of the 2008 Singapore Short+Sweet Festival as well as Right & Left written by Verena Tay, in the 2010 edition of the Short+Sweet Festival. In 2009, again as part of the Singapore Short+Sweet Festival, he acted in Green Eggs and Ham, directed by Delvin Lee. More recently in 2012, Faizad was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to be a participant of a 10-week Directing Workshop conducted by Chong Tze Chien of The Finger Players.

Nowadays, Faizad is busy molding the future of the nation but on some nights he manages to escape the humdrum of reality to immerse himself in the world of theatre. He is partial to local productions and new works. Apart from indulging in theatre as a pastime, Faizad can also be spotted stuffing his face at buffet spreads or hanging out at hipster cafes.
