The Remembering Resource (II)

We have been silence but not…

Over the last months, we were extremely creative and busy, as part of the team for THE REMEMBERING RESOURCE (II): creative encounters organised by Grain Performance & Research Lab led by Beverly Yuen, co-produced by Beverly and Ranice Tay.

THE REMEMBERING RESOURCE (II) was a series of creative encounters spanning over 2 weeks (18 June- 3 July). The programme included an exhibition, performances, workshops and dialogue sessions based on the creative impulses and training approaches of the former theatre collective, Theatre OX (1995-2007).
