Opening Dinner: Come Say Hi!

BRING YOUR PLATE (GATHERINGS)

28 June, Friday
7.00-10.00 PM 
Rear Courtyard

In the spirit of all CITRUS gatherings, we want to meet old and new friends around tasty and healthy food. To kick off CITRUS fest, we have thus invited special guests Practice Tuckshop & Chef Priscill to cook up a storm for our opening dinner! Inspired by the colours of CITRUS’ logo and the festival’s focus on care and intentionality, Chef Priscill will present a three-course communal dining experience. Her vegetarian dinner spotlights sustainably-grown local produce, and will include a selection of rescued veggie pickles and condiments.

Note: The menu contains no pork, lard, beef and alcohol. Please let us know if you have any dietary restrictions or food allergies at least 7 days before the event. Halal-certified bento boxes can be made available upon request.

ABOUT THE ARTS WORKERS

PRACTICE TUCKSHOP

A key initiative of The Theatre Practice, Practice Tuckshop has advocated for sustainability in green practices since our inception. Our works push theatrical boundaries, to open up critical conversations on sustainability. As an arts space, we work with our artist-collaborators to incubate new works, and cultivate a space where different communities (and ideas!) can converge.

Alongside the deep and persistent work of care, we need to insist on spaces of joy and pleasure.

There will also be a space to leave brief thoughts and to respond to other people’s reflections over the three days. (:

ABOUT THE ARTS WORKERS

Both Port of Reciprocity and Rumah Rimau Dapor were conceived as spaces of communal gatherings, offerings and collective listening, where rest, unfurling, shapeshifting and renewal are held. We hold space for gathering in ease, for dreaming, for the tenderness existing in the things that comfort, burden, bewilder or fascinate us. We welcome the restlessness between solitude, companionship and the deep presence that emerges when safety is created in the spaces and interconnected kinships-ecologies we safeguard and choose to return to.

RUMAH RIMAU DAPOR

Rumah Rimau Dapor (Zarina Muhammad) is a peculiar habitat and shelter that invites and welcomes delight, softness, ferocity, and the quiet pauses and spaces of multispecies cohabitation. Zarina Muhammad (she/her) is an artist, educator and researcher whose practice is deeply entwined with a critical re-examination of oral histories, ethnographic literature and other historiographic accounts about Southeast Asia.
