The Living Room is a programme that welcomes chat and conversation. Through focused but casual dialogues and face-to-face exchanges, this programme encourages participants to re-examine trends, happenings, people (on and off-stage) and phenomena in Singapore theatre. It is quite simply a space to talk things through in an environment conducive for open discussion:
- Anyone who steps into the Living Room will be able to look critically at a topic and evaluate it against his/her own experience and beliefs confidently;
- Participants will be exposed to matters/topics that may not have yet been given its due recognition;
- The Living Room fires up interest in Singapore theatre-related issues that have in various ways informed our lives.
The first Living Room series will adopt a historical perspective and focus on key work-roles in Singapore theatre, with the aim to shed light on past practices and operating conditions. These roles may include Playwrights, Directors, Arts Managers, Arts Policy-Makers and Collaborating Artists across different disciplines.
Each presentation of the Living Room is free, but pre-registration is required.
