Liana Gurung is one of the three Citizen Reviewers selected from the 2018 Open Call application. She has been invited to continue on in the 2019 cycle. Beyond the many hours she spends immersed in fictional worlds, she might also be found in an airy third-floor office, trying her best to design (badly), playing Frisbee barefoot on turfed grass (badly), or curled up in bed, watching cooking videos (very contentedly). “Affections” “The Place where there is No Darkness” “Human, After All” “Always Every Time: transcending language, gender, time” “One Meenah, One Cheenah, One Singapore” “precise purpose of being broken” “Private Parts” “She’s A Great Way to Fly” “The Fall” “The Ordinary and the Unspectacular” “Press Gang” “Underclass” “Untethered Women Spinning Into Space”

Liana Gurung
With a Literature major’s love and propensity for over-analysing, Liana is a mostly-reader, sometimes-writer who was raised on a diet of musicals (read: Julie Andrews). Her attention has since turned to the gritty, innovative and often subversive world of the Singaporean play: the leaner, the tauter, the more spare – the better.
