Title: Counterpoints and alternative ‘Scorings’: towards more sustained and sustainable ways of performance-making
Synopsis:

As a (stubbornly) independent performance-maker who centres relationships and connections in my work, I have been experimenting and reflecting over the past few years about how to tend to ideas in a sustained yet sustainable manner,given Singapore’s limited pool of funding and support schemes for independents and small collectives. To me, an ideal project is one that develops deep branching roots that can form inter- and cross-disciplinary networks with other projects and people, but that is also free to grow and stretch in all sorts of directions. Additionally, they should flower or fruit as they grow so as to hopefully delight and/or nourish a wider public beyond those who are immediately involved.
In this sharing, I trace the development and ongoing journeys of two such performance-making experiments — HOT POT TALK and Tactility Studies. I also highlight various considerations and factors that shaped the development of these two projects, as well as reflect on what could have been done better. Through this sharing, I hope to add to the (re)imagining and dreaming up of more counterpoints and alternative ‘scorings’ to the unforgiving performance-making and production cycle we currently have in Singapore.
