PARTNEREVENTS

THE ACTORS’TOUR

HIGHLIGHTS AND EXCERPTSThe order of these encounters may vary depending on the

route. We highlight eight of these monologues.

ROBERT ZHAO RENHUI

The award-winning photographer talks about his fascination

with nature in his work. In particular, he draws attention to

his childhood memories of the “sand dunes” of Singapore,

mounds of stockpiled sand used in the country’s reclamation

of the coast, pictures of which he has packaged as a fictional

“tourist destination” in the make-believe souvenir shop he

has installed as part of Singapore: Inside Out.

“I think… one reason why I kind of am drawn to nature is also

because our island appears to be very green, it appears to be

very natural… But I feel like there’s a lot of things being

orchestrated, there’s a lot of policies, and there’s a lot of

decision making involved, and we kind of don't see that.

What is actually natural in Singapore?”

ALVIN PANG

A celebrated English-language poet, Alvin Pang is a relentless

advocate of Singapore literature. In this transcript, he

discusses what in his view is the shrinking of the literary

ecosystem in Singapore as a result of the lack of space

around the city. He also raises questions about the struggles

many Singaporean artists and writers deal with at home.

“You have to understand where real vibrancy and dynamism

and energy come from. It doesn't come from money and

infrastructure. It comes from the love we share, the work

we do.

“So make a wall of books. Make a wall of Singapore books.

Book covers. Until you actually see the extent to which we’ve

actually been doing this over the past couple of decades.

You line them up against a wall. You make a wall out of

them. Immediately you get the sense that there's

something going on.”

ELYN WONG (STOLEN)

A former advertising executive, Elyn Wong is now the

designer of her own fashion label, Stolen. In this encounter,

Wong talks about her insecurities as a creative practitioner,

her move from advertising to fashion, and the small ways

she finds strength to keep on going despite the challenges

she faces.

“I have never felt so poor. But I wake up every single day very

happy with what I do. And I'm like - in the past when I was

doing advertising, I am very passionate about my job. But

still, even though I really loved it for sixteen years, I still had

Monday blues.

Ever since I started my line, right, I’ve never had Monday

blues. Ever… I don't understand how I can wake up feeling

very happy everyday and also keep thinking of quitting every

single day. How do these two things coexist on a daily basis?

It's very strange.”

LEE MUN WAI (CHOREOGRAPHER, T.H.E DANCE COMPANY)

Lee Mun Wai explains the ways in which dance speak

to people—in a guttural, bodily way, rather than an

intellectual one. Charting his own growth as a dancer,

Lee shares his passion for choreography and his artistic

joys and frustrations.

“I’m pretty much a dancer now, but I know I want to be a

choreographer. I know my forte is choreography.

Choreography is a whole different monster.

“And I know I will do much better. I need, I have so much to

say, and I just... cannot be the ingredient. I need to be the

creator. I mean, whether or not it becomes a viable career

option, I need to at least try. Whether I become famous,

whether I’ll be much criticised, whether people will finally

say: ‘Actually he’s not actually worth that much’, but, you

know, it’s something inherent that I’ve needed to do since

I was young.”

SPEAK CRYPTIC (FARIZWAN FAJARI)

Visual artist Speak Cryptic talks about his struggles

with his autobiography, and how that figures into the

self-exposure inherent in his artwork for Singapore:

Inside Out.

“So I really want this work, Kamar Kamillion to be that,

you know? And I want me to be vulnerable and open to

anything. And to me this is a big deal, in a way, because

I’ve never done this lah. You know? I've done like public

murals and stuff, I've done stuff where, I would draw on

the wall and people would look. But there was never

participation. And yeah, and the thing is, I want this to

happen, I want it to change me, and I want it — I want

the work to change with them lah, with everyone.”

CHANG YONG TER (CHANG ARCHITECTS) & RANDY CHAN (ZARCH COLLABORATIVES)

These two architects — and old friends — talk about

Mr. Tang Guan Bee, their former mentor and a major

personality and influence in Singapore's architectural

history. An architect who approaches his work with the

intuition and impulse of an artist, Tang is the enfant

terrible of his generation of architects. Reminiscing his

genius and erratic habits, Chang Yong Ter, an architect

famed for his ecological and conservation work, and

Randy Chan, Creative Director of Singapore: Inside Out,

whose career has seen him bridging the work of

architects and artists, discuss the man's early

influence on them and the paths they took in later life.

RANDY “He taught me how to drink. How to speak Hokkien.

How to describe space in Hokkien.”

YONG TER “He just walks around, and everyday his conversation is

about architecture and the arts. And he does painting

while designing.”

ZUL MAHMOD

A sound and installation artist, Zul Mahmod talks about

his early days as an artist, and how he found sound as a

material to work with. Giving us some insight into his

process, we learn about the relationship between the

city, memory and Zul’s art.

“It’s not all about the sound… it’s about the emotion of

the sound that I create. You know, you always look at art,

but I think you can listen to art.

“I’m interested in the emotional side of the city.

Everything changes so fast. They’re always constructing

new MRT lines and causing road detours. And I take the

bus, right, but every two weeks the bus stop position

changes because of the road diversions. I think it’s the

same as our memories. We’re not allowed to have this

long term memory. Everything is cut short. It’s like you

only can remember these places, a particular space in

time. But it’s like with the bus stop — I can’t remember

where the actual bus stop used to be.

“I walk a lot in the city. Just observe people, just having a

coffee, listening to people’s conversations, what’s going

on in daily life. So that’s what I do.”

SINGAPORE: INSIDE OUTCREATIVES

Developed by playwright Joel Tan and director Tan Kheng Hua, in collaboration with actors John Cheah, Sharon Ismail, Kay Kay Nizam, Jo Tan and Jean Toh.

OVERVIEW

The Actors’ Tour is a piece of walking theatre. Actors take visitors through the collection of works at Singapore: Inside Out

and lead them through a series of performance-encounters that provide intimate peeks into the lives, struggles, joys and

personal stories of the artists and creative practitioners who are showcased at Singapore: Inside Out. The tour also

foregrounds some of the bigger questions about working in Singapore’s creative industries today. 

The main feature of the tour is performed encounters with several of the artists and creative practitioners who are part of

Singapore: Inside Out. These vignettes are made up of Verbatim Monologues drawn from transcripts of casual interviews

conducted with the creatives. The five actors leading the tour slip in and out of these personas, telling the story of the artists

and creative practitioners’ work, careers and relationships with Singapore as a city and home, all in their own words. It’s a

fun, engaging and unusual way to encounter these Singaporean creatives.

The Actors’ Tour was developed in residence at Centre 42 in Singapore.

This is a daily scheduled performance at 12.30pm on 24 and 28 June and 1.00pm, 3.00pm and 5.00pm from 25 to 27 June.

The Actors’ Tour will begin at the Courtyard.

AS SINGAPORE COMES OF AGE ON ITS GOLDEN JUBILEE, WE INVITE YOU TO SINGAPORE: INSIDE OUT,AN INTERNATIONAL AND EXPERIENTIAL SHOWCASE OF SINGAPORE’S CONTEMPORARY CREATIVE TALENTS.

This celebration of creativity and collaboration will cut across architecture, design, fashion, film, food, music and the literary, performing and visual arts. Through the creative talents’ exploration and interpretation of the Singapore narrative and collaborations, we hope that this showcase will inspire new perspectives and challenge existing impressions of Singapore.

The convergence of international influences, multiculturalism and cross-disciplinary exchange in a dynamic cosmopolitan city has helped shape a creative milieu that is distinctly Singaporean. We look forward to sharing thiswith you through a myriad of activities rangingfrom energetic live performances, artist talks topanel discussions.

The story of the creative scene in Singapore mirrors the young Southeast Asian nation's search for an independent identity and explorations of what makes us distinct from the rest of the world. Today, these efforts have led to a vibrant scene brimming with creative confidence.

While the creative scene in Singapore is a relatively young one, it has seen a steadily increasing number of home-grown talents receiving international recognition and acclaim. Singapore’s location at major cultural and trading crossroads has allowed our creative practitioners to negotiate cultural boundaries and synthesise diverse influences. Singapore’s creative scene benefits from simultaneously working as a close-knit community and openness to international collaborations with top global talents.

This wave of creativity has catalysed unexpected enclaves of creativity. Artists and designers working across disciplines are making a mark to confidently introduce fresh ideas into the flow of everyday life at home and further afield. It is with this energy that Singapore’s creative talents are producing spirited new works that we now showcase to the world.

Singapore: Inside Out is presented by the Singapore Tourism Board as part of Singapore’s 50th anniversary celebrations. In 2015, this travelling showcase will be held in Beijing (22 to 26 April), London (24 to 28 June), New York City (23 to 27 September) before returning to Singapore for a finale (27 November to 6 December).
