Staging _____ presented by NUS Stage in collaboration with n:ow arts
What makes us remember a space? Spaces come and go, especially in Singapore where space is a constant negotiation, our connections to a space can feel fleeting and incredibly ephemeral.
Staging _____ explores how the different rooms in CFA Studios have been a grounding space for NUS Stage. A place where members come twice a week to gather, rehearse, devise, chat, complain about school, laugh till their stomachs hurt.
A photo and video exhibition highlighting the memories spent in the space, come and delve deeper into stories and significance of this rehearsal space to the NUS Stage members.
Visit the exhibition from 4-10pm on 2nd August at the CFA Studios Activity Room.
