CATALYST is an incubation programme for P7:1SMA associates that supports research process and performance-making. We hope to inspire artistic practices that grow and embrace failures. Personalised support is given to artists such as unlimited studio time, mentorship circle, feedback with community and administrative support. Since the programme started 2018, there have been 4 artists who have shared their incubated works with the community.

Tape town is a work-in-progress performance inspired by social distancing tape markings in Singapore. We’re interested in exploring the language of tape, how they have become commonplace in Singapore’s visual culture and how bodies physically respond to these markings.
This showcase features a few distinct experiments with tape, exploring different ways we can conform, subvert and play with the rules.

What if you were forcefully transported to another universe that exists in the present, yet detached from the reality that you are familiar with? Do you go along, do you challenge, do you change? How will you align yourself, to be true to yourself?
AZURE sees two bodies momentarily removed from their current reality and involuntarily plunged into a dystopian dreamscape. They have to negotiate conflict and contradictions, dancing between violence and vulnerability in this state of eerily familiar hypnosis. Integrating the mediums of dance, body painting and live music while referencing spiritual practices such as crystal healing and tarot reading, this performance through the screen seeks to suck viewers into a fantastical experience and evoke reflections about making choices to survive in a world slipping out of our grasp of understanding.

“Some moments might seem grainy.
As we seek for ways to carry on,
our thoughts are constantly shifting.
What happens as they scatter and clump?"
-
'Grain' is based on the phrase "to take with a grain of salt"; how conscious are we when believing what is presented to us? The grains of thought such as assurance, doubt, hope, desolation, tenderness, deprivation and security constantly float / wander around in our heads. Those that meander together may either form positive clarity or lead to self-destruction.

the shadow is the double
the shadow is the foil
the shadow is searching for the Self
-
A Shadow stands, holding the ashes of it's Self. How does the Shadow move? Why does the Shadow seek? Is it possible to empty and embody simultaneously? Alluding to anonymity and performativity, this work is an exploration of what looking towards our shadow space can behold.
