Welcome to our brand new podcast series, PLAYWRIGHTS! In our first episode, our Artist-in-Residence, Joel Tan, speaks to playwright and director Thomas Lim, about his writing process and how Supervision came to be.
Thomas Lim is a writer, director and arts educator. His work spans genres and languages, including plays, musicals and short films performed in Teochew, Mandarin, Malay, Bahasa Indonesia, English and Pig Latin. His professional debut, Grandmother Tongue, is a semi-autobiographical tribute to his Teochew-speaking grandmother. Subsequent writing and directing credits include Supervision, Straight Acting and National Day Charade. Thomas is also an established arts educator with over a decade of experience working with students and young people.
Joel Tan is a playwright, performer, and inter-disciplinary artist. He is an Artist-in-Residence at Wild Rice, and serves as the company’s Literary Manager. His playwriting practice is divided between Singapore and London, and he has written plays for leading companies in both cities including Wild Rice, Pangdemonium, Checkpoint Theatre, The Royal Court, The Almeida Theatre, Headlong Theatre, Theatre 503, and the Orange Tree Theatre. Joel also writes for screen and audio, and collaborates inter-disciplinarily to create installation and contemporary performance. Joel is a passionate advocate for new writing development for the theatre, and is a Creative Associate with Centre 42’s New Writing Development Programme.
About this podcast: What inspires playwrights to write their plays? How do they sharpen their plots and deepen their characters? And what do they love - and hate - about the playwriting process? PLAYWRIGHTS! is a brand-new podcast by Wild Rice that brings together some of Singapore's most exciting playwrights for irreverent, insightful and intimate conversations about the art, craft and largely unseen, sibei hard work of writing a play.
