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 Nine Years Theatre An award-winning Singapore Mandarin theatre company, Nine Years Theatre (NYT) is dedicated to the creation of high-quality performances.

Since our inception, NYT has been invested in the training of actors, in order to create work that is consistent in quality. We strive to entertain audiences in ways that are honest and thoughtful. Our work is recognised for being accessible and culturally layered, possessing deep sensibilities that speak to audiences from all backgrounds.

The time to see first, the time of the water world performance, and then arrange the play order reasonably. The water world performance. It is still worth watching. Missed the weekend, fewer people. We played all day, and almost all the projects were played again ☺️

Gardens by the Bay

aerofish

It is worth a visit. The must-see attractions in Singapore. The Marina Bay Garden is beautiful. The night view is better at night. The charged flower has air conditioning in it. It is very cool and can be visited for two or three hours. Every once in a while, there is also a theme flower show.

A unique and beautiful experience with the safari and night marketplace, but hard to see the animals in the night with a lot of people, and a bit redundant after a visit to the Rainforest Wildlife Asia in the day. For $45, this two hour visit is not the best value for the money.

Night Safari

M52***78

It&rsquo;s fun to watch the performance, the sound effect is good, and there will be staff with small animals around you. It&rsquo;s just that this small train is not sitting. I can&rsquo;t see anything at night. The surrounding animals are far away and stinky. . .

没啥适合的

Skyline Luge, a super exciting experience! Starting from the top of Imbiah Hill in Sentosa, the child sat on the sled and sped down the 650-meter runway from the height of a 12-story building. The speed was controlled by him, which was both exciting and safe. There are 4 slides to choose from. The child chose the green line with more curves and exclaimed that it was addictive. After sliding to the foot of the mountain, take the aerial chair back to the starting point. From the chair, you can overlook Sentosa and Singapore&rsquo;s city skyline, which is beautiful. You can also see the beautiful sunset in the evening and experience the romance of the &quot;Sunset Coaster&quot;. The children were still not satisfied with the play. It is highly recommended to parent-child families. It is a must-do project in Singapore!
