Poiesis-Play Poetry Slam

Location: The Arts House-The Hall
Time: 7:30pm
Nearest MRT: City Hall / Clarke Quay

{POIESIS} Play Poetry Slam™ is a one night-only ticketed event, hosted by veteran theatre actress Karen Tan, that plays up the performance element of a poetry slam, to increase accessibility and interest in the literary arts amongst young adults.

Young, budding poet-performers are selected through an open call to create original poetry pieces inspired by themes of escapism and the blurring of the lines between reality and illusion and the power of imagination.

These poet-performers, who may perform individually, in pairs, or in groups of three, will draw on staging techniques such as dialogue and movement to enhance the reading.

The 3-8 minute ‘mini poetry plays’ will be judged by random audience members and literary and performance experts, with the overall winner receiving mentorship and further performance opportunities with Word Forward.

So come down for an interesting night of poetry and fun!

As part of the i-AM Festival 2012 in conjunction with The LASALLE Show 2012, Project Ecclesia would like to present Poiesis, a poetry meets-theatre performance.

In partnership in the Word Forward and proud first time sponsors of the arts, SpecTech Engineering Pte Ltd.

Ticket Prices: $10 for students
- $12 for adults
- $15 at the door

East Asia: Outlook for 2012
Date: 2 February 2012
Location: Orchard Hotel, Level 3, Ballroom 2, 442 Orchard Road, S(238879)
Time: 8:30am - 5:30pm
Nearest MRT: Orchard

This forum, organized by the East Asian Institute (EAI), gathers the expertise of the Institute’s scholars, to identify important and emerging political and economic trends in East Asia in 2012. The forum will trace China’s domestic political and economic development, and single out its major foreign policy challenges for discussion. It will also analyse the domestic and external challenges of Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and the two Koreas.

With the Eurozone steeped in sovereign debt crisis and the US economy on a fragile recovery, East Asian economies are bracing for lower economic growth, which will exacerbate their domestic political and social problems, particularly for China. Politically, these East Asian economies are making preparations for major events at home in 2012. China is all geared up for its crucial leadership transition at the 18th Party Congress, while Taiwan will be holding a critical presidential election; Hong Kong will elect its Chief Executive and hold the LegCo election, while the two “Koreas” will be adjusting to the post-Kim Jong-il uncertainty. Japan, too is facing domestic challenges to recover from the triple disasters (tsunami, earthquakes and the radioactivity fallout), and the Noda administration is likely to introduce a contentious consumption tax hike in the wake of a fiscal crisis. The whole region is set to face, politically and economically, a more turbulent 2012.

This forum should be of great interest to both specialists and non-specialists who are following developments in China and the region and assessing their implications for global order, stability and prosperity. The East Asia Brief 2012 should be of great interest to both specialists and non-specialists who are following developments of China and the region, and their implications for global order, stability and prosperity.
