A rtistic
Director’s Message
Ricky Sim
Artistic Director
Since the inception of A Little RAW (ALR) in 2015, our young
company has always been the budding ground for a different kind
of artistic expression. Parallel to the main company’s mission of
Redefining Movement, our little ‘kitchenette’ is beginning to make an
imprint after 2 years.
Tonight, you will witness original works that are inspired by the
paintings or text from the Blue Forest by our 9 young artists. Together
with Ms Wong Wai Yee (Co-director of ALR programme), Mr. Jeffrey
Tan (Artistic Collaborator and author of the Blue Forest) and our
company dancers, What the tree sees… centers on conceptual
connections. In the constant endeavor to promote the status of
artistic thinking, this work integrates interdisciplinary interpretations.
Some art is created, only to be demolished
Some art may grow into a turning point
Some works are made for other people
Some work is shared for a special purpose
No reason is more important than another
Enjoy your journey through What the tree sees… what we see… and
what you see… in the way these young performers learn, evaluate
and articulate their understanding of creativity.
