Ranging from contemporary arts to design and performance, the annual Lasalle Show spotlights the creative works of young talents from the art institution – giving emerging names a platform to showcase their magic. This year, the show returns from April 14 to June 2 with more dance and theatre performances.
Season highlights include six performances from LASALLE's Faculty of Performing Arts that will take you through a black comedy, contemporary dance explorations, a medley of beloved musical theatre numbers, a Singapore adaptation of a Brecht play and two recitals that celebrate all genres of music.
The programme kicks off with three early shows, starting with a free exhibition titled Beautiful, nice and interesting from April 17 to May 5. It features the final works of six graduates from Lasalle’s MA Fine Arts programme, which unpack how certain terminologies, as per its title, are deemed to be negative when talking about art.
Theatregoers should check out emerging talents and voices of students from the Diploma in Performance and Diploma in Theatre Production and Management programmes at Ma Courage, which takes loose inspiration from Brecht's 1939 play Mother Courage and Her Children. The adaptation is directed by renowned local director Samantha Scott-Blackhall.
This year, you can find online programmes such as the School of Contemporary Music Festival's graduate recitals from May 28 to 30 or Piano Voyage 2021 from May 29 to 30. Both shows will be streamed on LASALLE's YouTube Channel.
Our arts and theatre community needs a platform now more than ever before, and graduate shows like The Lasalle Show provide that for aspiring practitioners. For more programmes, check out the full guide here.
