Thank you to @CultExtRel for the invitation to reflect on & share my experiences of #GCRP.
It was such a transformational experience, without which I’d never of had the opportunity to co-found projects such as the #CiptaSeniIncubator with wonderful people like @sharmillag.
🎙️With #GCRP, the more you bring to it, the more you get out of it. It provided us with a safe space where we could test out ideas & explore collaborations.
Thrilled to hear from GCRP Alumni @sharmillag & @TomCurteis Cipta Seni Incubator's Co-founders!

Fred is back in South Korea!!! Toi toi toi to team @HijinxTheatre who are ensuring that he stays on his best behaviour while they audition a new #MeetFred Korean cast. This is bringing back so many fond memories of the 2019 tour to the i-eum Gallery, supported by @krBritish.
Fred is ready for our Korean cast auditions. I’ve asked him not to be too harsh on them or he’ll be back in his box @HijinxTheatre #meetfred @wooranfdn #fredinkorea
Happy Lunar New Year to all my friends around the world celebrating! May the year of Dragon be a happy and joyful one, especially for all you wood dragons! 🎉🐲🎉🐉🎉🐲🎉

Rain? What rain? 🤪 Just back from a beautiful evening exploring Chinatown & hawker markets with some of the Singapore International Foundation Fellows. Soaked, sweaty (it’s proper humid), but full of delicious goodness. ⛈⛈⛈
