An overdue post featuring amazing photos from Daniel Tan and Joe Nair from WEAVE on 6 July at Aliwal Arts Centre.
WEAVE was conceptualised and produced with SingLit Station as a multidisciplinary, collaborative show that brought together amazing artists whom I’m proud to call my friends. There was innovation and artistry, much laughter and some dancing. It was a farewell to 20 years of making work in Singapore, beginning with my roots in spoken word and branching out into video, photography, music and movement collaborations.
I am grateful for each and everyone who said yes to taking the stage and being who they are. Singapore continues to have artists who make heartfelt, honest and impactful work despite less than ideal circumstances.
Home for Carolyn and me (and Graham Norton) is Toronto for now. I’m looking to build artistic networks here, collaborate and even work on cross-ocean projects with folks back in Singapore. Feel free to reach out for online workshops, or if you know any teaching or writing gigs in Toronto or remotely, I’m ready to work!
