Dreams

A dance drama

"Drumming
Dreams" delves into the human thoughts through a myriad of

nature of the human psyche.

of Drumming Dreams. Workshop elements include physical training
(spacial awareness, exercises, bodily impulses, alertness to the
structure), songs/voice training, walking meditation,

Judah
Ben-Hur
|
|
An epic musical from
Epic Entertainment
|
|
In one tragic
moment, Judah, prince of Jerusalem, loses his family,
fortune, and the woman he loves to Roman "justice"
at the hands of the man who had once been his closest
childhood friend. Fighting his way back from slavery in the
dark and deadly hulls of Roman galley ships, Judah seeks his
revenge in the shadow of the great Collosseum. But, is
revenge enough? |
|
The classic tale
of Ben-Hur has been dusted off and transformed into a
musical that crosses boundaries of age and race. Spectacular
sets, masterful dancing, delightful comedy, haunting
melodies and lyrics, and a heart-stopping chariot race - all
are produced by one of the finest casts and creative teams
ever assembled from Hollywood, Broadway and London's West
End. |

Written by CHONG Tze
Chien Directed by Jean NG Featuring Karen TAN and LOONG
Seng Onn Live Music by Electric Muse
|
|
Tracy is 33. She
has everything in life - a successful career, and her wedding
in two weeks. But she wakes up one morning and decides to go
mad. She cancels her wedding, sells her company and tells
everyone she will be going to Woodbridge. And for the first
time in her life, she is no longer afraid. Because she has
nothing left to lose. |
|
Spoilt has not one
story but three. The stories that span from 1986 to 2003 chart
the lives of whom Tracy has affected. |

Hark
The Jingle Red-Nosed Chestnuts |
|
A Christmas Calamity!
|
|
Starring Sean YEO
and Jonathan LIM with music by BANG Wenfu |
|
In the tradition
of the best comic duos, Sean and Jonathan take you through a
whirlwind of satire, parody, absurd slapstick and inspired
lunacy; waltzing their way through a whole gamut of twisted
Christmas songs and sketches in this high-energy mix of comic
scenes, spoofs and cabaret numbers. Anything and everything is
fodder for their comedic campaign. |
|
Chestnuts
premiered at the Jubilee Hall in 1996, appearing for a second
time in 1997. In 1998, it was invited to run at the
prestigious Blue Room in Perth, where it received juicy
critical acclaim. Last year, Chestnuts swept into CHIJMES to
celebrate the Millennium. |
