Reimagining Singapore Theatre was presented by the M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2015 in collaboration with Centre 42’s Living Room programme. The discussion was facilitated by Festival Artistic Director Sean Tobin, and comprised of a panel of five 2015 Fringe artists: Loo Zihan, Alvin Tan, Joel Tan, Chen Yingxuan and Pat Toh. The 75-minute Living Room Chat has been repackaged into a 2-part video recording.
SynopsisVideos
Four of the performances in the M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2015 will be developments or reimaginings of works previously staged, from as early as 1999 to as recent as 2013. This talk, hosted and moderated by Artistic Director Sean Tobin, will gather Fringe ’15 artists Loo Zihan (With/Out), Pat Toh (Terra Incognita), Joel Tan (Mosaic) and Alvin Tan (untitled women) to discuss the development and exposure of local work and artistry, as well as reimaginings towards their 2015 restagings. The discussion touches on the artists’ inspirations, challenges and strategies, and aims to invite you for a closer look into their processes of art-making.
This talk is a Fringe Activity presented by the M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2015, in collaboration with Centre 42 as part of our Living Room programme.
