Welcome Message

WELCOME MESSAGE Dear Friends, Thank you for picking up a copy of the PAssionArts Festival Guide. The 6th edition of the nationwide arts festival, PAssionArts Festival, will be held from Saturday,1 July 2017 to Wednesday, 9 August 2017.

The Festival theme, ‘Arts of Wonder, One Nation’, expresses the hope of the PAssionArts team for all to use arts to showcase the creative and innovative spirit of Singaporeans. The Festival also aims to foster a sense of togetherness and use arts to celebrate National Day! From 1 July to 9 August, you can look forward to over 500 art activities and programmes islandwide, including visual art displays and performing arts co-created by residents and artists.

Through the collective efforts of 88 Community Arts and Culture Clubs (CACCs), the Festival will bring arts closer to your neighbourhood and at the same time, create an opportunity for all to showcase our shared values and hopes for Singapore.

What is special about this year’s Festival is that most of the 48 ‘Arts of Wonder’ Festival Villages would contain elements of Multi-Ethnic Traditional Arts with the aim to promote cross-cultural appreciation. Some of the highlights include the LandArts, MallArts, BeachArts, EveryoneArts, ScienceArts, and two Festivals within Festival.

You will also get to see Plank Art, as art installations, featuring multi-racial figurines, iconic landmarks representing the local communities’ heritage and characteristics, and even landscapes of places that we hold near and dear, at over 200 heartland locations.

Come and be inspired by the many Festival Villages. Better still, speak to our PAssionArts volunteers if you wish to be part of the big PAssionArts Family. To find out more, check out our website at facebook.com/PAssionArtsSG.

Yours sincerely, The PAssionArts Family

Highlights

Launch: 1 July 2017, 4.30 pm

Step into an arts wonderland at LandArts @ Bishan - Ang Mo Kio Park, where for the first time in Singapore, the park’s landscape has been integrated with the art installations. This is the first land art project undertaken on such a massive scale.

Young or old, all you need is a sense of wonder in the World of Nature, a fantasy world of gigantic flowers. Towering water lilies and blooming lily bud flowers created from 20,000 planks, intricately hand-painted, are a testament to our colourful, multi-ethnic heritage.

Interact with engaging installations inspired by fairy tales at our Kids’ Art Village, where kids can groove to the beat at percussion workshops, or watch live performances like marching band, percussion and reader’s theatre.

Highlights

Dance into a world of crescent moons and angelic dancers. Admire the colourful artworks created by children with special needs and beneficiaries of voluntary welfare organisations, or join in and sing along with our choir. Plenty of diverse performances for all to enjoy.

Co-created by Pre-schools, Primary Schools, Special Needs Schools and various voluntary welfare organisations, 15,000 residents, artists and students through the course of 70 workshops.

Trigger lively animation as you interact with the Digital Live LED wall. Get in the groove at Light Up My Life dance floor, formed by fifty weighing scales. Each step you groove to activate lights and sound.

Highlights

Highlights

Multi-Ethnic Traditional Arts Festival:

Chinese Opera is making a comeback in style. The Singapore kind. Through PAssionArts!

Marine Parade leads the charge with its Chinese Opera Festival. It features fan favorites, well-known stories from our three main dialect groups (Hokkien, Teochew and Cantonese) each with their unique styles of singing, music and movements. The festival’s highlight is a concert style Chinese Opera, where we see operatic singers without their signature costumes or makeup.

Highlights

Marine Parade CC Theatrette 1 & 2 July, Saturday & Sunday 7pm to 9pm 8 & 9 July, Saturday & Sunday 7pm to 9pm Queenstown CC Theatrette 8 & 9 July, Saturday & Sunday 6.30pm to 10pm

Over in Queenstown, the night air resounds with gongs and cymbals from Chinese Opera performed in the main dialects. Don’t miss the best part of the festival – the Story of Singapore Legend, Sang Nila Utama, retold in Cantonese Opera.

Performers are dressed in traditional Malay costumes but sing in Cantonese Opera melody. The programme for the evening also features a 10-member choir and six Cantonese Opera excerpts.

PAssionArts Festivals within Festival: National Day Photography Exhibition 2017

Scenes of Singapore Streets

NLB Level 1 Atrium 29 July, Saturday, 2.30pm

As the saying goes, a picture speaks a thousand words.

Singapore continues to evolve even after 50 years of independence. Streets that you traverse day on day may not be around in the next 5 years. And photography is the best way to collect and preserve memories of yesterday streets’ scenes.

The National Day Photography Exhibition 2017 exhibits these photographs of Singapore street scenes taken by the community photographers and residents from all over the island. The photos, modest in nature, cover streets’ scenes of neighbourhoods

Highlights

including natural features, built heritage and people. Besides the exhibition, visitors can look forward to weekend photography workshops and activities.

These photos will be a collection under National Archives of Singapore and a part of Singapore History for us to reminisce when we celebrate SG75 and SG100.

The National Day Photography Exhibition is a collaboration between People’s Association - PAssionArts, National Library Board and National Archives of Singapore. The exhibition will be ongoing from 29 July to 5 August 2017.

Calling all youths who are into uptown funk. A colourful, interactive gallery of cool art installations with traditional Malay flavours is jazzed up with a modern twist. Totally youth-centric, there is so much to do at this mall you don’t have time to be bored.

Imagine flying your magic Wau in our hanging Canopy of Harmony. This is our massive installation of traditional Malay kites, each splendidly hand-painted.

Want a taste of a different dimension? Go no further. Virtual Reality exists within our Viewocity. Browse or read books at our Sidewalk Library, where the bookshelves are made from up-cycled racks and crates.

Central Singapore

A fusion of traditional and contemporary crosscultural performances awaits you.

Dabble in our many hands-on arts activities and end the night with Starlights & Music, a showcase of local music. From Rock to Indie, electric to soul, there is something for everyone.

Co-created by 6,000 residents, artists, students, arts groups and partners at a series of pre-festival workshops from May through July.

Health through Art sends a powerful message to heighten our awareness of Diabetes. Three imposing installations attempt to change your perception of sweets. An oversized ice cream tub is set up to look like a mousetrap to bait its prey. Don’t walk into the Sweet Trap. A gigantic cup of cold, refreshing sweet drink is a sea of possible health risks with bitter sweet consequences. Don’t dive into it.

Watch out for the Giant Ants! What message are they telling you?

Lifestyle changes also include efforts to care for our environment through upcycling. Waste materials are cleverly transformed into art pieces at this ParkArts

Central Singapore

Festival Village. Stroll through our unique, specially fabricated garden that floats waist high. Peek through Creative Art Boxes filled with nostalgic objects, scenery and landmarks. Rest under cooling shade from our man-made trees in full bloom, created out of recycled banners and bottle caps. And don’t forget to stand out with a selfie against the Street Art Doodle Wall!

Co-created by December Pang, our resident artist, and residents.

Step aside X-Box 360, PS5, Nintendo and Wii. Gasing, Five Stones, Congkat, here we come!

We can have fun at not even a fraction of the cost of today’s gaming stations. Revive our rusty skills at these traditional games that we have forgotten. Introduce them to our children. Show them that we can make our own games by sewing five stones using batik, and co-creating and decorating the largest congkat ever.
