Happy December from the Arts Club!
We are pleased to share that Telok Ayer Arts Club, in collaboration with artist Dawn Ng, presents 11 – an experiential performance piece showcasing the interwoven concepts of art and human relationships, by bringing together 11 pairs of strangers in a bid to find affinity.
Titled 11, with four exclusive showings commencing 17 January 2019, in the lead up to a Valentine’s Day finale, the performance piece sees the mercurial Dawn Ng transform the Arts Club into a black box performance space as each night sees 11 pairs of strangers, immerse themselves in 11 intriguing storylines of city-life – each depicting interactions shot through with truth, hope, humour, vulnerability, loss and longing.
With 11, Dawn pushes the envelope on her ability to craft narratives using text and her longstanding fascination with nostalgia, emotion and time – in this instance through the medium of a “scripted” performance piece that masterfully incorporates audience participation and the bizarreness of speed dating in this performance-meets-social experiment, teasing out the tensions, idiosyncrasies and joys of being human in this day and age.
As a cheeky nod to the title of the show, music director Hasnor Sidik will also be organising a special day-to-night edition of Kelab Ma11am, the Arts Club’s signature club night on Saturday, 19 January 2019. Taking place from 11.00am – 11.00pm, Kelab Ma11am features S$11++ menu alongside kelab beats dropped by 11 DJs – from age-appropriate disco beats and fun-filled kids’ activities during the day, to the debauchery that befalls after nightfall.
Please find the press release attached for more information. Media assets can be downloaded here.
