PUBLISHED October 29th, 2014 10:25 am | UPDATED May 9th, 2018 03:13 am

This talk will be moderated by Sean Tobin, Artistic Director of M1 Singapore Fringe Festival.

22 November 2014, 3pm

Black Box, Centre 42

Participating artists:

Loo Zihan’s ‘With/Out’ (a reimagining of The Necessary Stage’s ‘Completely With/Out Character ‘from 1999)

Pat Toh’s ‘Terra Incognita’ (an evolvement from ‘Homogeneous’, a presentation made in 2012 as part of Esplanade’s The Studios RAW series)

Take Off Productions’ ‘Mosaic’ (first staged at Lit Up Festival 2013), written by Joel Tan.

The Necessary Stage’s ‘untitled women’ (staged in 2000, 2002 and 2003), written by Haresh Sharma.

In the spirit of encouraging the development and exposure of local work and artistry, the folks at the M1 Fringe Festival want to highlight these four works to you, and give you some insight into their development towards their 2015 staging.

Join in for a lively discussion about the artists’ inspirations, challenges and strategies.

This talk will be really interesting for anyone who wants to get a better taste of what’s in store for Fringe 2015, and also to learn more about the processes of art-making.

What is involved in recalling, reimagining and re-developing past works?

Why have these artists chosen to revisit these works again?

How does the passing of time, hindsight and growth as an artist change how we might negotiate our theatre-making?

What are the artists behind these works consumed with right now as they prepare for their fresh staging in January 2015?

Here is your chance to come and find out the answers to these and more questions, and perhaps even help give shape to the works, with the sharing of your own opinions and questions.
