From a simple and ingenious idea of
providing Arts experiences to the young all under ONE ROOF, the
KIDSFEST of the Singapore Arts Festival is a much sought after
event by parents and schoolteachers who want to encourage active
engagement of their children in the Arts. |
|
Taking full advantage of the revelry
the Singapore Arts Festival creates every year, KIDSFEST is
therefore an excellent platform to pull young people into the Arts
with its INTERACTIVE legacy and all-in-one-place and
do-as-much-as-you can concept. |
|
Under the curation of ACT 3
International, Singapore＊s foremost at creating Arts programmes
for the young with both local and overseas artistes who do work
for young people, this year＊s KIDSFEST offers variety, range,
funk, and fun. |
|
What can young people hope to learn
about themselves at the KIDSFEST |
|
Ruby Lim-Yang, Artistic Director of
ACT 3 International which is co-presenting this event with the
National Arts Council, says, |
|
※At the KIDSFEST, young people can
discover their personal response to the various art forms, to see
if they like it or not, if they are inspired to be creative, if
they are creative, and open themselves to the possibility of
discovering something in themselves when engaged in the activity,
whatever it might be.§ |
|
With a balanced combination of local
and overseas established artistes who are experienced at working
with young people, this potent combination of visual arts, music
and theatre will make the learning journey an enjoyable one with
direct, active involvement. Young participants can tap into the
talent and skills of the mix of artistes whose aim is to
facilitate and provide an environment for self-discovery. Even
grown-ups who accompany their young wards can learn, too! |
|
Together, parents, children, and young
teens will experience 4 hours of performances and workshops on
mime, clay work, dance, drumming, clowning, stilt-walking, ＆stuff
making＊, plate spinning, balancing＃the list is near endless! |

MAKING JAM |

 |
|
No, not what you put on bread! |
|
Everything to do with music, but music
of a very different kind. |
|
Our artiste, LINSEY POLLAK from
Australia, uses everything else but conventional musical
instruments - from a garden hose to yes, dental floss - to
overcome both cultural and language barriers, driving home the
message that music is an art form with the power to bring people
together, and one that allows for active participation by
EVERYONE. |
|
LINSEY POLLAK (Australia) - musician,
instrument maker, composer, musical director and community music
facilitator, Pollak has performed all around Australia and
internationally, and has recorded 25 albums. His shows have toured
to Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, North America, Brazil and many
European Festivals. He has worked as a musical instrument maker
for over 30 years and has designed numerous new wind instruments. |

no pencils. STUFF MAKERS Francis, James, and Samirah, all
Singaporean visual artists, will guide participants on a drawing
journey with newspaper. |
|
BYO (bring-your-own) newspapers will
be welcomed, as experimentation is the order of the day with no
right or wrong 每 just great imagination begetting great ideas for
our ANT HILL installation art. |
|
STUFF MAKERS (Singapore) 每 three
Singapore visual artists in their own right, but who prefer to be
known for making stuff, for, to them, without making stuff, there
is no art. Premiering their style of spontaneity at art, these
three artists of various skills 每 ceramics, sculpting, doodling,
and just making stuff 每 bring together a wealth of talent to the
workshops. Imagination is all that is needed for this workshop to
match the genius of these three. |
