August Open Rehearsal - last session in 2017

Hello people~!! This is our last Open Rehearsal of 2017!

We have a small active community that has come together to learn and experience this community theatre, and we welcome one and all to join us in our practice.

The first half consists of drama activities and learning a Playback form. In the second half, we will put everything together, share our stories, and give these stories artistic shape through improvisation.

This is a wonderful space to connect with one another, and to share our stories in this Theatre of Neighbours. Come and explore Playback Theatre, and have a chance to practise the different roles like the musician, the actor or the storyteller!

Join us at the Toa Payoh Central Community Club Dance Studio (Opposite the library @ 93 Toa Payoh Central Singapore 319194).

This event is free but please support our practice with a small donation.

Friends from the Deaf Community are welcome to join us. Please leave a comment on our Facebook page to tell us. Sign Language interpretation will be available.

Space is limited, so get your tickets now at http://aug2017or.peatix.com. Please remember to dress comfortably as we will be moving around.

Email us at tapestry.register@gmail.com if you have any questions!

Thank you and see you soon!

Playback Theatre. The power of stories. Any story. All stories. Someone shares a moment, and the performers will playback it back, with movement, sound, music, cloth and embodiment. Any life moment is played - happy or sad, hilarious or humdrum. It can produce change, new insights and feelings, and even transformation, through the atmosphere of affirmation, creativity and reflection.

This event is supported by Toa Payoh Central Community Club and PassionArts.

Photo Review of Tapestry in 2012 (3)

Welcome to part 3 of our photo review! 

As the year is drawing to an end, we thought we'd look back and celebrate the many moments of our 10th year! A great big thank you to all who have connected with us in ways big and small. We look forward to meeting old friends and new in 2013! 

March 15 - We performed at the Singapore American School for a group of students. No pictures available but here's one of us in practice from 2011! We reprised a theme from 2011 - Home is where the Heart is. — with Renee Chua,Anne Chua, Elaine Tham and Wendy Toh.

March 23 - Tapestry performed a show at TTSH Auditorium for social workers, patients, family of patients, doctors and nurses from TTSH.

Here's the team waiting backstage! It was great to perform for such a meaningful event. We loved the stories shared and we hoped we did them justice.

Have a Blessed New Year! Come back here again to see new photos!
