SINGAPORE ARTS FESTIVAL

SINGAPORE ARTS FESTIVAL 2009 is up!!

Well actually, it had passed...here is a little introduction about the festival;

Singapore Arts Festival is an annual festival held by the Singapore arts council. It started out in 1977, only as a national festival held to showcase the art produced by Singapore's diverse culture. Later on, it developed into a large-scale island wide event which embraces not only national, but international forms of arts. The festival has achieved 30 memberships from organisations in Asia, Austaliasia, Europe and America.

The Singapore arts festival has become the largest singular event on Singapore's Arts calendar, attracting and inviting talents from more than 20 countries, showcasing more than 4000 activities and seen by 500,000 audiences.

I've chosen to attend RED, a performance produced by the STALKERS Theatre from Australia.

Why did I choose this event?

CAUSE ITS FREE!! GRATIS!!

.................................................................................................

Well, thats the main reason, but there are others too!

Although there are other free-admission events, but this one seem to lure me in most.

I was looking for a performance that can show me the limit that a human body can be pushed to do-something acrobatic. That was when I saw a brief display of RED in CNN's morning news while I was riding the bus to school.

The presentation caught my interest...

Although I was not really sure if this performance was going to be good, I attended it anyway...

The visit paid off......
