For Performance Open Call 2010, The Substation has selected RE:gina is Dead! by Melissa Quek, Elizabeth de Roza and Gilles Massot to be presented at The Substation Theatre.
A dark Theatre. Rustling sounds set the nerves on edge. In the blackness shapes are barely visible, but it feels like paper is everywhere. Somewhere a chalk outline.
Is that Regina? Why is she dead?
That’s up to you to decide in this interactive performance that defies categorisation. Part Installation part performance, the more you act, the more you’ll see.
Thumbprints, artifacts and bodies – images and symbols that point to one thing. You decipher the clues.

Conversations 2010 #2
Performance Lecture by our Associate Artist: diskodanny
Friday 1 October, 7:30pm
The Substation Theatre
Free Admission
Can absence be enacted, captured… in fact seen in a film? Can the viewer see what is there but not apparent, fill in the gaps for himself and construct his own movement from memory?
In his presentation, diskodanny goes in search for liminal spaces that elude us because they exist as empty gaps. These spaces are found during the enactment of a movement. They cannot be seen explicitly but they exist so obviously that we take them for granted.
Diskodanny is an Associate Artist of The Substation. Details

Ang Gey Pin is a Singaporean theatre performer and instructor currently working in Europe.
During this event, Ang will demonstrate her creative processes and engage the audience in a conversation about how she develops her works. Focusing on particular fragments of her performance, Ang will introduce a body of research on interweaving text and songs into performance, and her investigation into an approach to develop and deliver these performance elements. Ang will also discuss the impulse behind her creations, how the various performance elements build a montage and flow in a ‘creative stream’, and her relationship with her work.
