Themed Alternative Voice(s), audiences will be treated to video documentations revisiting previous live performances at Substation.
“The intention for us to relook at these performances with a new lens, understanding where we are today after surviving almost two years of the pandemic, not only for The Substation but the arts landscape in general. We have so much to be grateful for but our need to have the arts alive and thriving in our lives, has become so much more apparent” expressed Serene Yap, General Manager of The Substation.
On top of that, audiences can also expect insights via live dialogues from both young and veteran artists from Singapore, India and Malaysia such as Wendy Toh, Sankar Venkateswaran and Aida Redza. All of the programmes are free to view on the non-profit organisation's Facebook and Instagram.
Of the programming, NADA and dance duo ScRach Marcs's (pronounced Scratch Marks) peformance will be revisted through a video documentation as they explore Singapore's forgotten club culture of the yesteryears, interweaving their individual practices, street dance and the sounds of Malay pop from the 60s and 80s.
