Programme Highlights
performance highlight:
Here we dance
A collaborative art project with Rolypoly Family
Where do you feel safe and happy?
Where would you like to be?
“The library”
“Where I am spinning”
Where do you like dancing?
“This dance studio”
“I like the library but it’s not great for dancing”
Here We Dance is a dance-making project with four youths from Club Rainbow, facilitated by Rolypoly Family’s dance artists. Through movement, conversation, drawing and craft, the youths shared - verbally, textually, and graphically - about where they would like to be and where they like to dance, and made short dances that were adapted for the Dreamseeds Arts Festival online concert. Eventually, their dances - practised, performed and filmed in the Rumah P7:1SMA studio and edited remotely - are presented in the digital space as short dance videos. The videos, comprising the youth’s solos, drawings and craft, were carefully edited and composed to reflect the energies, artistry and preferences of each of the youths, who provided input and approvals for the videos.

theme song
I’m on a mission
To create a change
Show the universe
That we are all the same
I’m on a mission
To find a cure
For hatred and dis-crimination
Get rid of them all
Pre-chorus:
Black holes & tornadoes
We turn them into rainbows
Chorus:
I am an alien
Riding our spaceship
Gotta keep going
Sprinkling our magic
We may be different
But don’t be discouraged
We’re gonna do great things
In this galaxy
(Nothing can stop us!)
There are people in need
Sending an S.O.S
We gotta get there quick
And lend a helping hand!

A culmination of photography
works taken over the years by our beneficiaries.
Also on display are new Christopher Hart-inspired illustrations created by our beneficiary, Kieran, under the mentorship of Melissa Tan (a.k.a. Paintinks by Melt).
Held completely online, the art gallery will showcase our beneficiaries’ works in photography, diorama making and more! Get a glimpse of the world through their eyes.
Virtual Art Gallery
House of
Wonders
​
Our beneficiaries paired up with seniors from Kampung Admiralty Active Ageing Hub to realise their dream spaces in the form of dioramas. Led by Jaxton Su, this collaborative project will be displayed in a multimedia fashion, with videos featuring the artists being screened on the back of the diorama structure.
Talent Development
Fund Capsule
Collection
​
The Talent Development Fund (TDF) is an annual scheme that aims to recognise and nurture the non-academic talents—such as the artistic talents— of our beneficiaries. This collection will showcase the works of the featured beneficiaries’ year-long journey in creative self-discovery.
Abstract
Watercolour
​
Led by local illustrator Candice Phang (a.k.a. Puffingmuffin), our beneficiaries ventured beyond the boundaries of traditional watercolour painting and created explosive works of colour and whimsy.
Mixed Media
Collage Painting
​
Nine beneficiaries, together with their caregivers, created mixed media collage paintings in response to veteran local artist Goh Beng Kwan’s Kreta Ayer (Urban Renewal), Love is Blue and Tea Merchant. This programme was organised in collaboration with the National Gallery Singapore and led by Elisa Liu.
