Six artists of differing artistic orientations and backgrounds are assembled to explore the perennial questions on production and creation, the aura of an object, and the forgotten sensations of intimacy and remoteness. But more importantly, the geometrical but organic forms by Anthony Poon, the lyrical paintings of Parvathi Nayar, the harmonious abstract drawings by sculptor Terry Poh, the pop-painterly installation by Claire Cheng, and the juxtaposition of Jacqueline Ng’s delicate ceramic figures with Deryk Stronach’s sturdy-looking ceramics of frozen movements, will compel us to examine our notion of smallness, a symbolic attentiveness to what is valued and held close to the soul.

Aspirations is an evening of five dance works by five established and up-and-coming choreographers. They include Cultural Medallion recipient, Lim Fei Shen; Young Artist Award, Jamaludin Jalil as well as another member of the faculty, Gillian Tan, who give their take on a variety of themes.
 
Tyranny of Beauty examines the physical suffering that seems inescapable in the definition of a woman, while “What price conformity? At what cost identity?” are the questions asked in S.W.A.N.S., a light-hearted piece on a serious topic. Inspired by Hector Villa Lobos’ Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5, Voices Within explores the suppressed emotions that seem to confine us. Silkworm and Qing Guo Qing Chen are two alumni pieces that have been chosen to complement the programme as a showcase of students’ work.
