Official NOMAD 2008 Press Release 2

Dear friends and colleagues in the media,

Date: 4th July 2008 (Friday), and 5th July 2008 (Saturday)
Time: 7.30pm to 10.00pm
Venue: Ang Mo Kio Secondary School, 6 Ang Mo Kio Street 22

On the 4th and 5th of July 2008, Ang Mo Kio Secondary School will be presenting the fruits of its well known and innovative school arts programme in an school-based, site-specific, inter-disciplinary, multi-media and community based arts production titled 1964.

With the year 1964 as the jumping board to a variety of artistic adventures, the school that surprised Singapore in 2005 with a swimming pool in its school canteen has gone to yet further lengths this year to stretch the boundaries of school-based art making.

Festival Programme Outline

Dear all,

I’ve consolidated a very simple Programme Outline here, so that we have an overview of the order of events, in particular with the order of performance items in the fringe festivals.

Please write to me to correct any mistakes spotted, as the preparations progress. I’ll also be creating a Programme Notes Page, where we can all upload the programme notes for our individual items etc. This is already in some ways served by the individual pages dedicated to each of the art forms, however, some directors and artists have already started giving me more detailed write-ups of their items and I felt it would be better to reflect that kind of detailed thinking somewhere on this site as well.

Please see: https://amkssnomad.wordpress.com/festival-programme/

As always, thank you everyone for the continuing hard work!

Best regards,

Tian Hui
