《放逐与追逐》Exile or Pursuit

还记得年少时候的冒险么?还记得未说出口的爱么?还记得曾经的梦想,和成长面临的选择么?

少年福良的生命中,有三段爱情,甜美率真的秋云,性感务实的Eileen,温柔秀气的小愿,各自在他生命中留下了不同的色彩。当然在他的人生中,还出现了许多形形色色的人物,年少时期的华校、英校好友,兵营里的同袍兄弟,流落新加坡的满清贵族,中国南来的移民……

由资深戏剧导演韩雪卿执导的《放逐与追逐》音乐舞台剧,将以超强阵容,精英团队,带领我们走进文学,走进历史和青春!如果你也想重温那美好的过去,请你带上老朋友,或是你深爱的人,或是你年少的理想,一起走进剧场,做一场昨日重现的美梦!

我们被时代放逐,也在时代中追逐!

Do you still remember the nights upon the stars? The unspoken “puppy love” that does not fade with time? Reminiscing through the mischievous and fearless days, where we soar for our dreams? 

During the young and restless days of college student Hok Liang, love was everything. Three ladies each occupying a special spot in his heart, left unforgettable footprints in his life. Together with his classmates, army pals, a Chinese aristocrat, friends from different cultural backgrounds… these individuals that appeared in his life, accompanied him in his journey to examine his personal identity. 

Adapted from Singapore’s novelist Chia Joo Ming’s work, Exile or Pursuit, walks us down through memory lane, as the three love stories of Hok Liang unfolds. Directed by theatre veteran Jalyn Han, the music drama Exile or Pursuit, spanning three decades from the 70s to 90s telling fold memories of our growing up years, is not to be missed!

Non-Acting Workshop for Actors

Are you an actor who always challenges your craft?

Emotions are a universal tool that can touch all beings as long as they are genuine.

This 3-day workshop will explore how you can draw from your own life experiences to just “be”, and not “act”.

No prior acting experience is required. Participants should have the desire to challenge yourselves.

Please note that this workshop will be conducted in English and Mandarin.

Seeding Lab for Artist(e)s – Phase 2

Note: This workshop is only opened to participants who have completed Phase 1 of Seeding Lab.

 

Dear Participants of Phase 1,

Singaporeans often do not have the time to slow down, observe and feel the pulse of life beyond “making a living”. The same could be said for arts practitioners, so busy with projects that we forget how it’s like to create something not knowing what it might lead to.

I hope that Seeding Lab provided a good environment for you to rediscover your inner voice and unearth the creative energy in you that is not bounded by norms and standards.  I’d like to thank Noise Movement, which made Seeding Lab possible with their partial funding.

An Invitation

With the conclusion of our 5-day workshop of Phase 1, I would like to invite you to take part in Phase 2 of Seeding Lab, which will see you collaborate with professional artists in April and May 2016. This is not just a continuation of the bonds you’ve formed with fellow artists, but also to foster the exchange of different art forms, which I believe will add much vibrancy to the local arts scene.

If you’re interested to join Phase 2, please email me at jalyn@inarts.com.sg by 31 March 2016.

Meanwhile, keep your mind curious!

Sincerely,

Jalyn

 

In support of youth arts participation

Seeding Lab for Artist(e)s – Phase 1 (2nd run)

Most of the time, people get together only when a project is about to take place. In Seeding Lab, we do the reverse – explore from ‘nothing’, with nobody knowing where or what our union of ideas will lead to. And we invite all curious minds – anyone who has the desire to break away from routine and try something new – to join us on this journey of discovery.

Reviews of Tartuffe 伪君子

As with most comedy, it is the witty servant that carries the show and this one is no different. Jalyn Han as Dorine brings on the laughs with her keen comic timing and energy. She also strikes a balance between the exaggeration needed in the comedy and the quieter moments when she is a keen observer.

Darius Tan’s Orgon, is a wonderful foil to Dorine. They play off each other well and the actors’ energies are well-matched.
