How do we respond when an inanimate object becomes our duet partner? How do we listen to stillness, attend to the unpredictable, and choreograph the ordinary? This workshop invites participants to explore how we encounter, embody, and integrate the inanimate into our dancing. Using inanimate objects as movement collaborators, the workshop reimagines how we perceive dance, movement, and the body itself. In particular, the ping pong ball will serve as a focal point, inviting participants to explore movement through a playful yet challenging dialogue with this small but dynamic object. Through this collaboration, participants will step beyond traditional notions of dance, discovering how stillness, unpredictability, and spontaneity can become choreography. The workshop encourages participants, especially those without formal dance experience, to reframe their everyday movements and interactions. By doing so, they transform mundane actions into expressive dance sequences. Structured in three key stages—Authenticity, Clarity, and Duetting—participants will heighten their awareness of time, space, and the relationship between their bodies and the ping pong ball. Through observation, experimentation, and improvisation, they will cultivate a unique partnership with the ball, allowing it to influence and inspire new choreographic possibilities. Please note:
- Participants need to register with a valid mylibrary ID account or else your registration will be invalid.
- Due to limited slots, please come on time as your slot will be given to walk-in participants if any. This programme is suitable for: - Participants age 17 years and above - Participants who are considered physically fit to do a movement class. Attire Notes: 1) Bare feet, no shoes required. 2) Fitting & stretchable attire (T-shirt & pants) which allow you to move freely, even level changes. 3) NO jeans, skirt and dress, but socks are allowed if you really need. 4) Bring along your own bottled water. 5) A towel for yourself, as you may sweat during training. About The Performer's Body Series Central Arts Library’s “The Performer’s Body” is designed for participants with little to no performing experience, providing them with essential skills, and understanding of their body’s potential. This workshop series focuses on fundamental techniques, gradually building participants performing vocabulary. By exploring the basics of physicality and expression, “The Performer’s Body” equips participants with a foundation to begin their artistic journey. About Dapheny Chen Dapheny Chen is an independent dance artist navigating the roles of choreographer, performer, and educator. Her practice prioritises the dancing body, revisiting archived movement within the living body to re-frame, re-inform, and re-educate the way dance and choreography are made, viewed, and engaged with. She explores labour practices, questioning the value, sustainability, and economics of artistic work. By examining how dance is produced and consumed, she advocates for equitable practices in the field. Collaborating with inanimate objects, technology, and alternative documentation processes, she seeks to develop actionable research through performance and academia, fostering global dialogues on dance labour and value.

Great day out with the family. Recommend the fast track tickets as the Queues for some rides were long! Weather was bad in the morning so we delayed our entry and so we were in the park for approx 7 hours. Food is pricey. Overall a great experience. I wish they add a Nintendo zone to this park! My rating 7/10

The whole trip was perfect! Singapore is really a place for people! Not only the scenery is beautiful, but Singapore citizens are also very, very friendly to the Chinese! The attractions that I especially want to recommend are Singapore Changi Airport and Binhai Garden, which is really amazing. The hotel I chose is also very good, Trip.com The recommended hotel is really cost-effective. Special thanks to Xiaoxiao, the housekeeper of this Singapore trip. He is really a very responsible consultant. He took good care of us throughout the whole process, including the entry list to help us fill it out. I have any problems during the trip. I have serious and responsible help solve them. The pick-up and drop-off arrangement is very intimate, the recommended places to go shopping are very good, there are questions and answers! Really intimate good housekeeper! Praise! In short, I recommend everyone to come to Singapore, it is really a good tourist country!

Located in the north of Singapore, Singapore Wildlife World is one of the best tropical rainforest zoos in the world. Managed by the Wildlife Conservation Group, it has four parks: Singapore Zoo, Night Safari, River Safari, Singapore Bird Park, and Rainforest Adventure Park.
Singapore Zoo is well worth a visit. As one of the top ten zoos in the world, its open design, rich animal species and unique ecological experience make it an ideal choice for family travel and nature lovers.

I rarely write reviews. I have been calm for a long time and feel that I should write. It is not for small compositions, but simply record this bad night and the pit I encountered, and give tips to the later tourists and friends. I don&#39;t know if I can help you. July 17, 2025 Singapore Safari Park Night Safari Let me say the conclusion: the zoo is great, the night experience is also very novel, it is definitely a must-check attraction in Singapore, no one. The only thing to pay attention to is: tens of millions of [do not] book tickets on Trip.com . Because you may find that you have to wait two hours outside the door to enter the park; what is to take the small train to listen to Chinese explanations before dark, no matter how much homework you do, you can&#39;t think of Trip.com pit you, a pit will be a big pit; I have to stand honestly when I take a taxi from the city center, and I have to be questioned by Trip.com that we are fools and four fools. Four of us bought tickets as shown in the picture, keyword: [No reservation required] [7:15PM], it should be noted that this product contains two tickets, one [Chinese small train], and the other [entering the park ticket]. On the purchase page, you only need to choose the time of the small train, because the production The product interface clearly states that there is no need to make an appointment for admission tickets. [You can enter the park according to the time of the Chinese small train, and show the voucher to the staff]. OK, then the purchase was successful, I clicked on the confirmation form, and looked at the precautions with satisfaction, the wonderful experience of the first night tour of the zoo in my life. The big one is coming. Because there was still work in the afternoon, the four of us took a taxi to the zoo after the end. At 19:20, we arrived at the door and found that about 20 meters before the gate, five or six park staff checked the tickets one by one, and shouted at 19:15. Now you can enter the park, but when you see our ticket, the other party said a word NO. Because although our small train time is no problem, there is a line of small characters [Admission from 9:15 PM] under the QR code of [entering the park ticket], which means that the reserved entry time is after 9:15 pm. I was buzzing in my head and immediately contacted customer service: Why is the entry time for this ticket later than the small train time in the park? The customer service is very professional, and they immediately contacted the merchant. The merchant said that there is no need to check the ticket, and you can enter by scanning the code directly. I said that people will not let us scan the code step, and someone stopped it. Merchants: &quot;You can enter the park by showing them the ticket for the small train directly, without showing them the ticket at the back.&quot; Me: &quot;But people are going to see the ticket at the back now.&quot; The result is that we waited from dawn to dark, and waited until the staff at the door were off work before we arrived. Friends laugh at the merchants &quot;partly right&quot;, maybe they come after 9 pm. The customer service patiently asked me what I had, and they would negotiate with the merchant. I honestly don&#39;t have any demands, what can I have? My demands are just hanging out with friends at a zoo in once in a lifetime, and that&#39;s all.
