it’s not worth talking about?

I’m happiest when someone buys me kopi o kosong peng during early morning calls but the people who do that will never think much of it. It’s just instinctual for them, it’s not something they feel is worth talking about.
For CITRUS fest, The Backstage Affair attempts to compile some voices of backstage practitioners as they talk about their ideas of care. Honestly, the thing about our arts industry is that those who really care don’t usually want to be involved in all these gatherings and dialogues. How shall we proceed then? We have no answers, just an invitation to come and sit and find your own nook in the space to listen to all these voices. And then let’s see what happens from there…
Featuring the voices of Bobbie Ng, Carolene Ruth Liew, Chan Silei, Cheralynn Yeo, Dot, Edith Podesta, Evelyn Chia, Faith Liu Yong Huay, Goh Shou Yi, Isis Koh, Izz, Jiong, Joel Tan, Julian Wong, Lam Dan Fong, Lim Zhiying, M. Nurfadhli Jasni, Neo Kim Seng, Saffa’ Afiqah, Sandra Tay, Shridar Mani, Sim Yan Ying, Suraya Ab Rashid, Wann Nurul Asyiqin and Yingzhi.
