Ep 5: “Championing the Multicultural” feat. Wong Han Juan
How did the notions of multiculturalism and multidisciplinarity emerge in Singapore theatre, and what challenges did they present to the arts manager? Host Serene Chen speaks with arts manager Wong Han Juan, tracing the past and present challenges of nurturing an arts ecosystem that is supportive of diverse and experimental practices, by way of her experiences working as an arts manager with legendary arts pioneer Kuo Pao Kun and The Theatre Practice. They also discuss the joys and struggles of nurturing multidisciplinary and multicultural collaborations, and Han Juan’s role in fundraising and liaising with artists during the early years of The Substation.
