SUMMARY:Tradition in Motion: Singapore’s Lion Dance Heritage
DESCRIPTION: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.  \nFeaturing 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. \nPresented 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.  \nThe 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. \nThe 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. \nSCCC 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.” \nVisit 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. \n\nImage: Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre

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) \n“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) \n“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) \n“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) \n“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) \n“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 \n“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) \n“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) \n“Very comprehensive course. Really appreciate sharing your personal experiences. Thank you so much!!!” – Anonymous Student\, 25 June 2024 (2nd intake) \n“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) \n“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) \n“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) \n“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) \n“Great info and education for all mental health professions.” – Eve\, 11 Aug 2023 (1st intake) \n\n💖 This will be our 4th intake due to popular demand. 💖 \nGet your non-obligatory virtual informational session here. \nStudent Bonus: All previously recorded virtual trainings estimated to be worth S$1k for one year.

SUMMARY:National Ballet of China’s  A Dream of Red Mansions in Singapore
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThe 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. \nDrawing 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. \n \nAt 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. \n“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. \nBringing 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. \nExperience 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. \nTickets & Showtimes* \n\nDates: 12 – 15 March 2026\nShowtimes: 8:00 PM daily\, with an additional matinee at 2:30 PM on 14 March 2026\nVenue: Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay\, Singapore\nTicket Categories: Cat 1 (S$388) | Cat 2 (S$288) | Cat 3 (S$188) | Cat 4 (S$158) | Cat 5 (S$88) | Premier Box (S$388) | Balcony (S$188)\nEarly Bird Tickets are now available.

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. \nAs 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. \nFor more information on A Dream of Red Mansions Ballet\, please visit https://www.sistic.com.sg/events/mansions0326.  \n\nImages: JUST LIVE and National Ballet of China
