Photos from Who's Next Door?

In collaboration with Singapore Kindness Movement, we performed 6 shows at Centre 42.

This was a rich experience, painting a tapestry of tales over 3 days, listening and playing back stories of race and prejudice, of nostalgia, hope, and wistfulness, of neighbours wonderful and horrible, and of the kind of community we hope to build.

We also had a wonderful artist and Visual Practitioner Wendy Wong from Welenia Studios draw and record the themes and stories for each show.

Thank you to each and every one of you that shared this space with us.

  

Who's Next Door? A collaboraton with Singapore Kindness Movement

What kind of neighbourhood do we want to live in? What kind of neighbours do we become? What kind of society do we want to build? All these depend on you.

This year, we are using a form of unique improvisation called Playback Theatre, to help us create conversations around the issue of neighbourliness.

We want to hear your stories of ugly or wonderful neighbours. We want to know about the beautiful and unpleasant incidents that happened in your estate. We want to know what you feel about these incidents. And we want to learn from what you share.

What stories do you have to share about where you live? How can we encourage one another to take an interest in, care for, and support the people around us?

Who is next door? That is one of the key questions of community building. And the answer depends on you.
