Brainstorm
2025-10-16 - 2025-10-26 | Gateway Theatre, 3615 Jalan Bukit Merah, Singapore, 159461, Singapore
Localised from the findings of leading neuroscientist Professor Sarah‑Jayne Blakemore who describes the adolescent brain as being “still under construction,” particularly in regions responsible for decision‑making and social understanding, Brainstorm is a unique theatrical investigation into how teenagers’ brains work, and why they behave the way they do. From 16 to 26 October, Gateway Arts will present Brainstorm at Gateway Theatre’s Black Box. This groundbreaking new production inspired by real-life experiences of Singaporean teenagers, offers audiences a raw, relatable look at the chaos, humour, and heartaches of growing up in today’s world — and it’s not just for youth, it is also suitable for parents, educators, and adults who just want to enjoy and reminisce about our past fun times and angst.
Each performance will be followed by a post-show discussion led by TOUCH Community Services, to strengthen parent-teen communication through open conversation and shared reflections.

The Storyline: Inside the Storm of Teenage Minds
Inside every adolescent brain, 86 billion neurons collide, producing the intense changes that shape identity, emotion, and behaviour. From academic pressure and family dynamics to social media and screen-time addiction, Brainstorm explores the modern adolescent experience, giving audiences a chance to step into the minds of multi-racial youth in Singapore, with varying context to their challenges.
An extension workshop with local teenagers helped shape Brainstorm, creating a script rooted in real experiences in Singapore. As its reason for being, Brainstorm aims to encourage its teenage viewers to realise that it is alright to feel all the complex feelings that they’re feeling.
To bring these experiences to life on stage, the production will incorporate animated multimedia and live-streamed actor performances designed by Multimedia Designer, Genevieve Peck. Brainstorm also injects a touch of humour, with the characters even stepping into the roles of their nagging parents in a funny, self-reflective scene.
Why watch Brainstorm?

Opening Conversations that Matter – each performance is followed by a guided discussion by TOUCH Community Services, for audiences to share reflections and access vital resources.
Theatre as a Bridge to Understanding – a tool for empathy, closing the gap between young people and adults in their lives.
Reflecting Youth, Inspiring Change – the play challenges assumptions about adolescence and reflects the realities of today’s youth, while inspiring action, sparking personal reflections, prompting meaningful dialogue and encouraging communities to stand with young people.

Battle Scores – Where Wuxia Meets Music
2025-10-18 | Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre, 1 Straits Boulevard, 018906, Singapore
This October, Ding Yi Music Company, in collaboration with the Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre (SCCC), unveils Battle Scores — an action-packed concert that transforms the stage into a world where Chinese chamber music and wuxia collide.
Audiences will be transported into a fantastical jianghu universe where five iconic Chinese instruments — the huqin (Chin Yen Choong), dizi, guzheng (Yvonne Tay), percussion (Low Yik Hang), and suona (Jacky Ng) — embody the five great martial arts sects: Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, Kunlun, and Huashan. Through electrifying clashes of timbre and dramatic musical duels, the instruments become avatars in a sweeping saga of ambition, rivalry, and reflection.
For the first time, Ding Yi weaves shadow puppetry into its performance, brought to life by actors Gordon Choy and Vanessa Toh, who animate the rivalries and alliances of the martial arts world. Paired with wushu-inspired stage movements and the vitality of live Chinese chamber music, Battle Scores boldly unites traditional art forms and cultures rarely experienced together, creating a groundbreaking production that is both visually and musically arresting.
Helmed by acclaimed theatremaker Chong Tze Chien, Festival Director of the Singapore International Festival of Arts and known for his visually striking and emotionally-charged works, the concert extends his creative partnership with Ding Yi following earlier collaborations such as The Zodiac Race (part of Esplanade’s Feed Your Imagination series). A full-length original composition by Taiwanese composer Hannah Hsieh anchors the work, written specially to capture the energy, tension, and lyricism of this martial-arts-inspired musical realm.

“By merging Chinese chamber music with wuxia, we’re drawing from the very essence of Chinese culture — celebrating and reimagining it for today’s audiences,” said Wong De Li, Dedric, Resident Conductor of Ding Yi Music Company. “Each instrument becomes a martial art, each musical phrase a clash or alliance, reminding us that in any battle, victory or defeat matters less than the human cost of conflict. Working with director Chong Tze Chien and composer Hannah Hsieh, we’ve created something both theatrical and deeply musical — a vivid celebration of the enduring spirit of Chinese culture.”
Battle Scores will be held on 18 October 2025 (Saturday), 3.30pm and 7.30pm at SCCC Auditorium, Level 9. Tickets are available for public sales at $35 (excluding booking fees) on SISTIC here and is eligible for purchase using SG Culture Pass credits. SAFRA, HomeTeamNS and merewards members enjoy a 20% discount. Terms and conditions apply.

Tradition in Motion: Singapore’s Lion Dance Heritage

Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre (SCCC) is proud to present Tradition in Motion: Singapore’s Lion Dance Heritage, a special exhibition for the upcoming Chinese New Year that showcases the rich history, evolving customs, and contemporary expressions of lion dance in Singapore.
Featuring over 50 artefacts, photographs, posters and figurines, the exhibition highlights the enduring significance of lion dance in Singapore, its diversity, innovations, and achievements of local lion dance troupes. The exhibition is anchored by a display of eight lion heads, representing the variety of lion dance styles practised in Singapore including the familiar southern lion dance, and the less common Hainan Lion and the Fujian Green Lion.
Presented through three main thematic zones, the exhibition first explores the history, traditions, and customs of lion dance in Singapore. The exhibition also reveals the intricate craft of lion head making, featuring a handcrafted lion head made by Singapore’s last lion head craftsman, Henry Ng, shown in its first and final stages of production.
The second zone explores Singapore’s lion dance culture as it continues to thrive in Singapore today. In this zone, visitors can view the Genting World Lion Dance Trophies won by Yiwei Athletic Association in 2023 and 2025, and learn how our local troupes continue to embrace diversity by opening its doors to members of all ages and ethnicities, and adapting lion dance routines for senior performers.
The final zone showcases pop-culture representations of lion dance that highlight contemporary culture’s ongoing fascination with lion dance. From vintage posters of films such as Once Upon a Time in China III to limited-edition collectibles like the Uniplay Fortune (Mer)lion Dance figurine, the exhibition showcases lion dance as an enduring source of inspiration for cultural offerings.
SCCC Chief Executive Officer, Mr Alvin Tan, said, “Through the exhibition, we hope that visitors can learn more about lion dance, including its early roots, the unique traits of lion dance in Singapore, how it continues to be manifested through popular culture, and more. We also hope that visitors will not only feel proud of the achievements of our local lion dance troupes, but be inspired by their resilience and ongoing efforts to ensure that lion dance becomes not only an enduring artform but a cultural heritage that Singaporeans can be proud of.”
Visit Tradition in Motion: Singapore’s Lion Dance Heritage to learn how the traditional art form of lion dance continues to innovate, and how it remains a vibrant symbol of culture, resilience, and community spirit. The exhibition will be on display at SCCC Concourse Level 1, 9am to 10pm, from 11 December 2025 to 30 April 2026. Admission is free.

National Ballet of China’s A Dream of Red Mansions in Singapore
2026-03-12 - 2026-03-15 | Esplanade, 1 Esplanade Drive, Singapore
JUST LIVE proudly presents A Dream of Red Mansions, performed by the internationally acclaimed National Ballet of China, making its highly anticipated Singapore premiere in March 2026. As part of the National Ballet of China’s Asia tour, this celebrated two-act ballet transforms Cao Xueqin’s literary masterpiece into a breathtaking stage experience, fusing classical ballet technique with the poetic nuances of Chinese cultural aesthetics.
The 2-hour performance follows the romance of Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu, set against the rise and decline of the Jia family. As the ballet unfolds, Jia Baoyu drifts into a dreamlike realm where the souls of flowers, childhood companions, and echoes of past lives weave through an ethereal landscape. Playful innocence shimmers alongside the bittersweet ache of first love and parting, while each movement, costume, and play of light shapes a living reverie — a world both luminous and poetic, hauntingly beautiful and unforgettable.
Drawing on over six decades of artistic mastery, the National Ballet of China interprets Cao Xueqin’s novel with subtlety and depth. Every gesture, tableau, and musical phrase reflects the company’s distinctive blend of Western classical technique and Chinese artistic heritage, evoking the story’s romance, longing, and ephemeral beauty for audiences.

At the heart of this production is a visionary creative team led by Executive Director and Producer Feng Ying and General Choreographer Tong Ruirui, supported by Scriptwriter Feng Li, Stage Designer Liu Xinglin, Costume Designer Yang Donglin, Lighting Designer Liu Zhao, and Composer Ye Xiaogang, whose evocative score highlights the romance, longing, and ethereal beauty of Jia Baoyu’s journey. Their combined artistry translates the novel’s intricate emotions into an immersive performance, where movement, visuals, and music converge to capture the essence of A Dream of Red Mansions.
“The vision to bring A Dream of Red Mansions to life through dance has been close to my heart for many years,” said Tong Ruirui, the General Choreographer of A Dream of Red Mansions Ballet. “Through this ballet, we invite audiences to step into Jia Baoyu’s dream: a space where love, memory, and imagination intertwine. Every gesture reflects the emotional currents of this extraordinary story. It is our hope that audiences will leave with a deep sense of connection to the beauty, longing, and timelessness of these characters’ lives,” he continued.
Bringing Tong Ruirui’s vision to the stage, JUST LIVE envelops the performance in world-class lighting, set, and stage design. “We are thrilled to bring the National Ballet of China to Singapore,” said Alain Brochu, Marketing Director of JUST LIVE. “JUST LIVE’s vision has always been to create unforgettable live experiences, and this collaboration allows us to showcase the exquisite artistry of one of the world’s premier ballet companies while immersing audiences in the poetic, dreamlike world of the Rong Mansion,” he added.
Experience a performance where every visual, every note, and every breath of movement evokes the essence of A Dream of Red Mansions, reflecting on love, destiny, and the fleeting nature of life itself.

Synopsis of A Dream of Red Mansions
In A Dream of Red Mansions, audiences follow Jia Baoyu on a journey through a dreamlike realm where past lives, childhood companions, and the souls of flowers intermingle. Against the backdrop of the grand Rong Mansion, Jia Baoyu’s childhood unfolds alongside Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai, as innocence, first love, and the fleeting joys of youth are tenderly explored. Playful moments in the Grand View Garden coexist with the melancholy of parting and the quiet awareness of life’s impermanence, creating a poetic tapestry of memory, love, and longing.
As the story progresses, Jia Baoyu faces familial pressure, personal loss, and the complications of romance, culminating in a dramatic confrontation between desire and duty. From birthday celebrations to tragic revelations, he navigates the tensions of love and societal expectations, ultimately retreating into a solitary, reflective world. In the epilogue, the ethereal vision of the past lingers as Jia Baoyu bids farewell to the intertwined fates around him, leaving audiences with a haunting meditation on love, destiny, and the ephemeral beauty of life.

Scaredy Kat Presents
2026-05-23 15:00 - 2026-05-31 17:00 | Gateway Theatre, 3615 Jalan Bukit Merah, Singapore, 159461, Singapore
A Youth Theatre Story About Anxiety, Courage and Creativity
Gateway Arts’ latest youth theatre production Scaredy Kat Presents arrives in Singapore this May with a multimedia-driven performance that explores how young people experience fear, friendship and self-doubt. Directed by award-winning theatre-maker Yvan Karlsson and written by playwright Janine Sobeck Knighton, the production blends live performance with stop-motion animation and puppetry to bring the emotional world of its young protagonist to life.
The story follows Kathryn, a girl who has lived with anxiety since childhood. She finds comfort in creating stop-motion films inside her room, building a miniature world where she can safely express emotions she struggles to articulate in real life. When a new classmate enters her carefully controlled space, Kathryn must decide whether she is ready to step beyond fear and embrace change.
Multimedia Storytelling Designed for Young Audiences
This production marks Gateway Arts’ first theatre project to integrate live visual feeds and stop-motion filmmaking into its storytelling. A specially created stop-motion sequence featuring handcrafted puppets offers insight into Kathryn’s inner emotional landscape, reflecting themes of insecurity, loneliness and courage.
Alongside the animated elements, larger-scale puppetry appears within the live performance itself, creating a layered theatrical experience that communicates feelings visually rather than relying purely on dialogue.
The result is a performance designed to resonate with young audiences navigating uncertainty while also helping parents and educators better understand how children process anxiety and self-confidence.

Supporting Conversations About Mental Wellness
Each performance will be followed by a facilitated post-show discussion led by TOUCH Counselling & Psychological Services. These sessions provide audiences with opportunities to reflect on themes such as social anxiety, peer pressure and emotional resilience, while offering practical perspectives from mental health professionals.
Through storytelling and guided reflection, Scaredy Kat Presents aims to create a shared space for families, educators and young people to talk more openly about emotional wellbeing.
Who Should Watch This Performance
Recommended primarily for audiences aged 10 to 14, the production is also suitable for parents, educators and anyone interested in stories about growing up, friendship and overcoming fear. The show runs for approximately 75 minutes with no intermission.

Running from 10 to 19 July 2026, the festival blends fitness, recovery, creativity and live entertainment into a multi-day programme designed for participants of different ages and experience levels. Visitors can expect everything from sunrise yoga and seafront runs to strength training, meditation workshops and recovery-focused sessions across the island.
This year’s edition marks a new three-year partnership involving the Sentosa Development Corporation, Singapore Tourism Board and Prudential Singapore, alongside festival founder Exceed Sports & Entertainment, signalling a long-term vision to position Glow as a major regional wellness lifestyle event.
A Wellness Programme Designed for All Levels
Across the festival period, more than 70 wellness sessions will be available, covering movement, mindfulness and creative engagement. These include yoga classes, functional fitness sessions, breathwork workshops and guided recovery experiences designed for both beginners and regular practitioners.
The daytime programme will be led by internationally recognised fitness personalities including Joe Wicks, Chontel Duncan and Emi Wong, bringing a global perspective to the local wellness scene through accessible, community-focused workouts.
Visitors can also explore the Every Body Club by Prudential experiential space, where festival-goers can participate in wellness activities and access consultations such as physiotherapy and chiropractic sessions as part of Prudential’s broader health ecosystem initiative.
Evening Concerts Featuring International Music Headliners
As the festival transitions into evening programming, live music performances take centre stage with a lineup that reflects Glow’s evolving blend of wellness and cultural experiences.
Global pop star Jason Derulo will headline on 17 July, followed by Korean indie band Hyukoh on 18 July. The festival closes on 19 July with Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Alessia Cara, whose performance marks the finale of the 2026 edition.
These headline concerts complement sunset wellness sessions and create a day-to-night festival atmosphere that encourages both movement and social connection.
Six Immersive Festival Zones at Palawan Green
From 17 to 19 July, the main festival grounds at Palawan Green will feature six themed zones designed around different aspects of wellbeing.
The central Cupola Stage will host large-scale group workouts during the day and live performances in the evening, serving as the heart of the festival experience.
Surrounding zones include Flow Studios, where visitors can join yoga, pilates and functional training sessions, and Mind Oasis, which focuses on meditation, breathwork and conversations around topics such as stress management and sleep optimisation.
Creative workshops will take place at Makers Meadow, while Recharge Bay offers recovery experiences including stretching sessions and muscle restoration treatments. Meanwhile, Glow Commons brings together curated food and beverage concepts, including collaborations with local culinary partners.
Island-Wide Wellness Experiences Across Sentosa
Beyond Palawan Green, Glow Festival Singapore 2026 extends across Sentosa through additional programmes hosted at participating island resorts and hospitality venues such as Raffles Sentosa Singapore, Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa, Amara Sanctuary Resort Sentosa, W Singapore Sentosa Cove and Shangri-La Rasa Sentosa.
These satellite experiences expand the festival beyond a single venue, encouraging visitors to explore the island through a broader wellness itinerary.
Since its debut in 2019, Glow Festival has evolved from a single-day event into one of Singapore’s largest wellness lifestyle gatherings. The 2026 edition continues this trajectory by combining movement, mindfulness and music under the theme “We Glow Better Together.”
