Among the other offerings:
SilverStreak speaks with Natalie about SIFA 2023.
Dissecting The Anatomy of Performance
"The Anatomy of Performance, allowed us to move away from the silos of theatre, music, dance, film and visual arts as separate forms, to invite interdisciplinary works and collaborations; where you could watch a performance borne from a collaboration between a film-maker and an orchestra or a work that blurred the boundaries between dance and theatre.
Of primary importance for SIFA is the elevation of Singapore artists, supporting mature artistic creation and international collaboration."
About Some People
"Some People engages with the idea that the human experience exists on a spectrum. We are the sum of all the narratives that chapter and alter our lives; each trial and transformation, what our ancestors and communities have had to struggle through, our experiences as children and adults, things inherited, and circumstances imposed on our lives shape how we move through life and experience the world.
The works featured in SIFA 2023 reflect the human experience in its spectrum of hues."
Which Artists to Choose?
"With the pandemic mostly behind us, SIFA 2023 is reaching out once again to discover a fresh international dynamic.
It's important to position the Festival as a platform that inspires and facilitates creative intersections and collaborations."
Opportunities for the Silvers?
"We have several workshops that SilverStreak readers can sign up for.
These offer insights into artistes’ vision and process. With Body, Memory, Landscape: Workshop with Muna Tseng and Irene Hultman, participants are invited to warm up the body to enliven the flow of qi or energy, as individuals, with a partner and as a collective group. Participants will also get the chance to understand EIZO-Theater, a new type of theatre that Toshiki Okada has begun to develop in recent years together with stage and video designer Shimpei Yamada, through a workshop with Shimpei Yamada which relates to Toshiki Okada’s presentation New Illusion.
And almost anywhere and at any time, SliverStreak readers can access Life Profusion, SIFA’s digital platform. Privacy curated by Mojoko presents 8 digital pieces that offer artistic impressions on privacy in the digital world. Play, curated by Hong Xinyi, invites a diverse range of contributors writing in response to the Festival performances while drawing links to the conversation of the day and other contemporary insights."
