Daniel Pok Teik Kim
I am currently undertaking a Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, majoring in Theatre and Film Studies. I was previously active in the arts only in junior college and while being a member of the Young Company of Singapore Repertory Theatre. Also, I have volunteered for SRT with regards to publicity, administrative and front-of-house tasks. At this point of time, I have yet to acquire a concrete vision of how I would like to contribute to this arts in Singapore, and even practise it, whereever that may be. I will be unable to attend the remaining Event meetings as I have to return to Sydney to attend my second year of studies. However, I would love to be in touch with the progress of the arts community in Singapore while I am away.

Sim Pern Yiau
My personal interest as an audience is in live performance of all types. As a practitioner, i'm looking for forms and practices that uses the non-reproducable and ephemeral nature of live performance in a way that enhances rather than diminishes its effect. I see singapore society today as an ocean of more or less uniform waves - the differences are token. I try to create ripples, which momentarily upsets the surface pattern of waves. Hopefully one day, the undercurrent gets a jolt too.
