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.

Uncovering Eros: An Adult Sex Ed Weekend
2025-11-08 09:00 - 2025-11-09 18:00 | Monk’s Brew Club, 57 East Coast Road, Singapore, 428773, Singapore
Feel Lost When Sex Comes Up – As a Counselor, Parent or Partner?
You Are Not Alone.
As a professional or curious individual in Singapore, you’ve likely noticed:

Clients bringing up sexual concerns you don’t feel equipped to address
Conversations about intimacy that leave you feeling awkward or uncertain
A growing need for accurate, culturally-relevant information about sexuality
Questions about consent, trauma, or non-traditional relationships that you can’t answer confidently

You’re not alone – and it’s not your fault. Most of us never received the education we needed.
Why this matters now more than ever
In today’s rapidly evolving landscape, sexual literacy isn’t optional – it’s essential:

Digital transformation: Singapore’s youth are exposed to unprecedented sexual content online, often without context or accuracy
Rising mental health concerns: Sexual issues are increasingly linked to anxiety, depression, and relationship breakdown
Changing family structures: More diverse relationship models require new frameworks for understanding intimacy
Post-pandemic reconnection: Many are struggling to rebuild physical and emotional intimacy after years of isolation
Legal and cultural shifts: Recent changes in Singapore’s legal landscape have opened new conversations around sexuality

Without proper education, professionals and parents alike are left unprepared to navigate these complex waters.
Introducing Uncovering Eros
This is Singapore’s first-ever full-weekend, in-person training designed specifically for counselors, educators, healthcare providers, and thoughtful adults seeking deeper understanding.
This isn’t theoretical academics or awkward “birds and bees” talk. It’s real-world, applicable knowledge delivered by respected experts who understand Singapore’s unique cultural context.
At Uncovering Eros, you’ll learn how to:

Respond confidently to questions about sexual health and consent

Understand the emotional and physiological aspects of trauma and desire

Discuss kink, fantasy, and taboo topics without shame

Communicate clearly with children, partners, and clients

🔑 What makes this different

Practical Focus: Take away tools and frameworks you can implement immediately
Cultural Relevance: Content specifically designed for Singapore’s multicultural environment
Expert-Led: Learn from specialists with years of clinical and educational experience
Safe Space: Professional, respectful environment where questions are welcomed
Comprehensive Approach: From biological aspects to emotional, relational, and cultural dimensions

💪 For Professionals
Enhance your practice, expand your expertise, and provide better support for clients navigating sexuality, trauma, and relationships. Earn CPE credits while building competence in an often-overlooked area of wellbeing.
Why professionals can’t afford to miss this:

Gain confidence addressing topics many colleagues avoid
Develop referral networks with other sexuality-informed professionals
Enhance your ability to support diverse clients with complex needs
Distinguish your practice with specialized knowledge

🧠 For Individuals
Gain clarity about your own values and boundaries, understand the science behind desire and connection, and learn to communicate more effectively about intimate needs.
Why this weekend is valuable for personal growth:

Move beyond shame and misconception to evidence-based understanding
Develop language to discuss intimate topics with partners and family
Connect with a community that values sexual wellbeing and education
Build confidence navigating your own relationships and boundaries

Essential Topics You Won’t Find Elsewhere
Day 1 Highlights:

Awesome Boundaries with Brightly Abby – In an age of constant digital connection and blurred personal spaces, understanding boundaries has never been more crucial. Learn practical skills for setting, communicating, and maintaining healthy boundaries in all relationships.
Body, Sex, and Religion: Faith Narratives, Sexual Identity, and the Role of Counselling by Tonia Goh – As Singapore balances traditional values with modern realities, many struggle to reconcile faith and sexuality. This nuanced session clarifies the complex spaces where theology, sexuality, and therapy converge.
From ABC to Consent: Parenting in a Sexually Evolving World by Sharon Teo – Explores how parents can confidently navigate age-appropriate conversations about sex, identity, and relationships by fostering open communication, body safety, and values-based guidance in a rapidly evolving world.
Sexual Dysfunctions: Understanding Desire, Pain & Performance with Dr. Martha Tara Lee – With increasing reports of sexual dysfunction across all age groups, this session provides critical insights into the physical and psychological factors affecting sexual health, offering compassionate approaches to common challenges.

Day 2 Highlights:

Embodied Sexuality: Reconnecting with Your Body with Dominica Chua – Learning the whys and hows of somatic practices to enhance body awareness, to foster a deeper connection with self and one’s sexuality.
Sex, Ageing & Strength: Reclaiming Intimacy Across Life Transitions by Clementine Liu – Explores how ageing, illness, and life changes impact intimacy and desire, and empowers participants to build body awareness, emotional resilience, and relational strength to maintain sexual wellness across all life stages.
Sex & the Law through the Lens of the Penal Code – Examines how Singapore’s Penal Code approaches sex and sexuality—contrasting the repeal of s377A with the surge in new sexual offence laws—and explores apparent contradictions in legal attitudes toward consent, privacy, and sexual communications.

LGBTQIA+ Panel: Sex, Love & Identity – Since the repeal of Section 377A, LGBTQIA+ individuals reflect on what has (or hasn’t) changed in their lives—sharing their coming-out journeys, experiences of love and identity, and what they wish counsellors and allies truly understood.
Kink, Fantasy & Taboo: Exploring with Consent by Dr. Martha Tara Lee – As mainstream media increasingly references kink and alternative sexualities, many are curious but lack understanding of safe, ethical practices. This non-judgmental session focuses on consent, communication, and risk awareness.

Join Singapore’s Growing Community of Sexuality-Informed Professionals and Individuals
This groundbreaking weekend offers more than education – it provides connection to a network of like-minded professionals and individuals committed to enhancing sexual wellbeing in Singapore.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to transform how you approach sexuality – professionally and personally!

I’m also seeking sponsors who share these values and are committed to positively impacting people’s lives.

Tradition in Motion: Singapore’s Lion Dance Heritage
2025-12-11 - 2026-04-30 | Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre, 1 Straits Boulevard, 018906, Singapore
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.

Testimonials from Past Students
“This course has been an absolute game-changer. It wasn’t just theory in a slide deck, it was real, relevant, and designed for impact. Each week built on the last, covering everything from the history of sexology to anatomy, communication, consent, sexual diversity, and cultural competence. I loved the balance of evidence-based content with inclusive, pleasure-positive approaches that reflect the realities of modern relationships and sexual health. One of the absolute highlights for me was the triad work. I learned so much from my triad mates, their perspectives, experiences, and feedback added layers to my understanding that I could never get from the handouts alone. It made the learning richer, more dynamic, and so much more human. I’m walking away with language, strategies, and confidence that I can apply in my advocacy. This wasn’t just education; it was equipping me with my sexology “superpowers” for life.” – Brightly Abby, 12 Aug 2025 (3rd intake)
“Human beings are really complicated and there are even more permutations when people get into relationships. There’s no one size fits all approach to relationships or sexual relationships and we do not all have to fit into the social construct to be okay. i.e., Sex does not have to be only penetrative to be called sex.” – Shayne, Week 10 Couples Therapy and Sex Therapy (3rd intake)
“It’s given me the opportunity to reflect on a deeper level about my sexuality, as well as my partner’s sexuality in a manner that has opened up more conversation, exploration, and awareness in our relationship. Discussions with my partner also helped me understand how a client may need to be incredibly mindful of the safety and reassurance they offer their partner when having such discussions.” – Anonymous, Week 7 Sexual Fantasies, Kinks, and Pornography (3rd intake)
“This week’s theme on listening, framed through the three dimensions—Listening to What is Said, Listening to What is Felt, and Listening to What is Emerging—has significantly deepened my personal growth and understanding of sexuality education. This integrative listening approach fostered a more holistic and compassionate engagement with the subject, reinforcing the importance of both cognitive and emotional receptivity in sexuality education.” – Catherine Toh, Week 5 Communication Skills in Sexology (3rd intake)
“I often struggle to balance the differences between couples, especially when compromises often come from the partner that is more exploratory. It is interesting to hear that with safety and respect for the lower libido/ desires, it invites the other partner to explore out of their comfort zone. Although we agree that the incompatibility might sometimes mean couples choose to go their separate ways, the focus on creating safety gave both partners a chance to consider their partner’s preference.” – Alicia Phua, Week 5 Communication Skills in Sexology (3rd intake)
“One of the greatest new insights I gained was just the vast amount of knowledge a sex counsellor had to have. And that makes sense because as much as sex is not spoken about in public usually, there are so many aspects of sexuality and it is only ethical for a sex counsellor to be adept in the knowledge.” – Julian Lim, Week 1 Introduction to Sexology
“I appreciate you so much Martha! This course was fantastic in it’s depth and range of topics. You treat so many difficulty/sensitive topics with respect and role model the practice of Sexology with grace and humour. I hope to be as impactful as you are in my work. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all that you have done to create this program. Thank you for being such an incredible voice of allyship. You have set the bar very high and I won’t let you down. The content you focus and teach on is of high value and importance in societies throughout the world. I am excited to embark on this new path, armed with this training to embolden me.” – Chrystal Toop, 25 June 2024 (2nd intake)
“Thank you for giving me a great insight learning and have a different exploration of the whole course.” – Anonymous Student, 25 June 2024 (2nd intake)
“Very comprehensive course. Really appreciate sharing your personal experiences. Thank you so much!!!” – Anonymous Student, 25 June 2024 (2nd intake)
“Martha is a generous in her vulnerability and authenticity as an educator and practitioner. This course is important for any therapist to attend as sex and sexuality are not talked about especially in Asian families and in an Asian context. Sex and sexuality is an important facet of human relationship and functioning which has gone changes and meaning as time evolved. It is especially important for counsellors to learn about such topics more especially in crafting healthy sexual conversations with our young and what they need to know.” – Tonia Goh, 12 Dec 2023 (1st intake)
“Sexuality is one of the major components in life to most of the people, while it is not a comfortable topic to talk about especially in Asia. Similarly, such a professional course is rather rarely conducted in the educational field, even in Singapore. The structure of progamme and coverage of planned topics is relevant and wide, facilitating a better disposition as a professional helper with the added knowledge and skill sets when serving the concerned clienteles.” – Krish Phua, 6 Dec 2023 (1st intake)
“Dr. Martha’s expertise in evidence-based sexuality is exceptional. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn her framework, gaining confidence in supporting clients with both relationship and sexual concerns. This certification provides a holistic overview, combining macro and micro skills, filling a crucial gap in the field. Thank you, Martha, for offering this invaluable certification and for offering to provide continuous support.” – Sharinder Kaur, 16 Nov 2023 (1st intake)
“A taboo topic which has rooms for more attention and awareness. Sexual health is as important as physical and mental health. A holistic approach and wellness to life.” – Shaza Teo, 16 Nov 2023 (1st intake)
“Great info and education for all mental health professions.” – Eve, 11 Aug 2023 (1st intake)

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.
