Thoughts from The Elephant and the Tree [Writing & Illustrations]
Once there were 3 good friends - big elephant, tall tree, and somewhat little human.
Together the eletree trio thought and they thought and they thought.
And because they thought, they had to talk - for other ellies, trees,
and tiny tots.
Tang Ling Nah
Send Me An Angel 寻觅, 天使之间 [Art]
Send Me An Angel. Why an angel? Who is this angel? Where can we find an angel? Is there an angel in us, between us, amongst us?
This is not a presentation that deals with the supernatural. It is an overview of Send Me An Angel—the second solo art exhibition by Tang Ling Nah. Tang will provide glimpses to the drawing installation she has done for this show, and talk about its conception, working process and materials.
The Flying Inkpot Theatre Team
The Flying Inkpot [Theatre]
The Flying Inkpot Theatre Reviews (headed by Kenneth Kwok and Matthew Lyon) was launched in 1996 to create an online platform for writing about the theatre and dance scene in Singapore. Despite being staffed entirely by unpaid volunteers, it has grown from strength to strength over the years, and has established itself as the longest-running theatre and dance review magazine in Singapore, as well as the most commonly cited online periodical in Singapore theatre press. Besides current reviews, the site includes a listings page for upcoming productions and opportunities, as well as a searchable archive of over 500 reviews over the past ten years.
Tonight, the Inkpot team seeks to discuss issues related to criticism in Singapore, both online and offline, as well as to increase awareness of its function and to encourage contributions, both in the form of online comments as well as recruitment of writers, so as to offer better coverage of the growing theatre and dance scene

Jasmine Seah & Jennifer Koh
Light is like Water [Poetry & Photography]
Inspired by Jennifer Koh’s photographs —inscribed with a vigorous love for the mundane and the momentary— Jasmine Seah writes her poems, not exactly describing the pictures, yet making a connection to them.
The pictures were first taken when Jen was studying abroad. But where is this book, you may ask. And the two of them will tell you that it’s everywhere.
“We like that, having no particular point of reference, and taking each day as it comes to find that place. No, it’s not Singapore, and it’s not England. Some of it is Thailand and Vienna, but it doesn’t make a difference. There are harder places to map.”
