SYV BRUZEAU (model)
http://
Born in France, Syv Bruzeau went to Japan after university to explore Asia and its culture and never left this part of the world.
Following her enthusiasm for travel and her curiosity to experience different cultures, she opened a few restaurants with a friend in South-East Asia. This passion for providing joy and bonding between people led her to ... movement healing!
She discovered Butoh, a very unique and fascinating dance, while in Japan, and continuted to study it in the Himalayas, New York City and Japan. She practiced other movement-based and awareness techniques and is now sharing her experience through her own method, Oneness Flow, here in Singapore.
Syv believes that movement can be self-healing, self-discovering and creative. She wants people to reconnect with themselves and with their true potential, to discover the infinite possibilities of expression, and the freedom and joy it can bring.
CRISPIN RODRIGUES (poet)
Crispin is an educator, emcee and writer. In between churning out research papers and marking assignments, he writes short plays, poems and is now experimenting with prose.

He has performed at events such as the Singapore Writers Festival and The Arts House Writers Party, and is a past president of the Epiphany, the NTU English and Drama Society (http://clubs.ntu.edu.sg/Epiphany/), where he still contributes to their magazine and theatre nights.

THE VISUAL AUDITORY EXPERIMENT
Comprising of visual and sound artists from France, Japan and Singapore, this spontaneous 4-person experimental outfit will attempt at tickling your visual and auditory senses.
Across this sound and live drawing performance, Unii (sound artist), wxymm (sound artist) , Clare Ryan (visual artist) and ~1escV? (sound and visual artist) would like to mix their creative universes in order to compose a kind of sensitive travel to the audience.
Using soundscape, feminine electroacoustic weirdness, origami lyrics, electronic melodies and colorful lines and imagery, they would like to invite the viewers to construct their own narrative experience according to present imaginary tales and personal past history.
Technically, the electronic sounds would be create, improvise and organize from 4 computers and different sounds softwares (Unii +wxymm + ~1escV?).
Unii would also add some vocal textures and poems according to the electronic basement.
The live drawing would be made with "Processing" (computer programming software) , a Wacom drawing pen tablet (~1escV? and Clare Ryan) and projected from computer to the screeen by video~projector...

http://www.unescargotvide.eu/
Un Escargot Vide? is a French Sound/Graffiti Artist based in Asia. He travels around S.E.A. doing village murals and performing a hybrid of sounds and live drawings.
“When I was a child, I used drawings to communicate with other kids, it created connections with my entourage. Until now, I still had a strong feeling in my mind about my first drawing. Drawing to me, it’s more like a present, a message, a souvenir and a link between humans. I always wanted to reconcile my two media attraction; drawing and sound art into a multidisciplinary art project. Since year 2010, I started to use real-time drawing projection to present my work by using projector, computer drawing software’s and the Wacom drawing pen tablet, which evolves with sound into multimedia performances.
During live performances, I tried to create a narrative combination between sounds and drawings: as a means of leading the audience into an imaginary tales. I'm currently working on my art project using the name: “Un Escargot Vide ?", aka "~1escV?" (An empty snail?)”
Unii (JAPAN)
http://uniiunii.com/
Tokyo-based Unii is a sound artist and singer-songwriter unabashedly brandishing her pop sensibilities with no holds-barred experimentation in delicate, origami-like pop song structures with their advances into capricious avant-pop genius and feminine electroacoustic weirdness. Unii's first LP "new world, sea and your eyes" (2011) and her live performances evoke an awkwardly beautiful and elegant soundscape that brings into existence a slowed-down universe of whispery sing-speak, delicate coos, multitracked echoes, reconstituted field recordings, digital clicks and blips, tempered noise and unorthodox beats.

It looks like, but not entirely, a word that sounds like, but not quite like, something that can be pronounced. The sound/tunes/music/noise created are exactly the same ... wyxmm, an emergent esoteric sound artist, excels at disarming melody lines and using random sound samples to add texture to his pieces. His works can be said to be a cross between music and soundscape. Tools - Guitar, bass, laptop and whatever and whoever he can find.

A SECOND CHANCE (stage play)
Directed by Richard Lord
Performed by Deborah Emmanuel & Ralph Go
We all like to get a second chance. But what if that second chance is also your last chance – your very last chance. That’s the predicament Roger finds himself when, in the middle of a life-threatening health incident, he is confronted by a supernatural being who offers him a final chance to save himself. But when this supernatural being tells Roger of the price he will have to pay to save himself, he starts to have doubts that being saved is really such a good deal.
This one-act play is a comedy with of social commentary thrown in to leaven the whole. The reading will be handled by Deborah Emmanuel and Ralph Go, two widely experienced stage performers.

His ten-minute play Exchanges won as Best Play in the first Singapore Short&Sweet Festival (2007) while his short play Prisoners was first runner-up as audience favourite at Melbourne’s Short But Not So Sweet Festival (2009).
In the field of musical theatre, Lord collaborated with Singapore’s celebrated composer Ken Lyen on Casino, a satire of casinos and the reckless practices of the financial industry. Richard Lord contributed book and lyrics for this show, which was first presented as a 20-minute musical in July 2010, then as a full-scale two-act musical in March 2011.
Lord’s novel, The Strangler’s Waltz (a murder mystery set in 1913 Vienna), is scheduled for publication this April by Monsoon Books, Singapore.
