No Limits Battle
Everyone’s welcomed to check out this special No Limits Battle, where ILL-Abilities, an international all-star breakdance crew comprising differently-abled dancers, battle with some of the best homegrown break-dancers in Singapore.
Conceptualised by ILL-Abilities, the rule of this exhibition battle is simple—dancers spin a wheel labelled with constraints and aids, think out of the box, and faceoff! The message is simple yet powerful: injuries may happen to anyone and any dancer, but you are stronger than you imagine; believe in yourself and create opportunities from challenges.
Drawing inspiration from hip hop culture, the “ill” in ILL-Abilities does not mean “sick” or “unwell”. Rather, it refers to something positive, in this instance the incredible talent and dance abilities of the crew. The dancers of ILL-Abilities strive to inspire others and spread positive thinking through their optimistic attitudes, personal stories and unique dance moves.

No Excuses, No Limits
“A powerful force on the hip-hop dance stage” The Guardian
Dance like anything is possible.
Be inspired by this international award-winning all-star breakdance crew, ILL-Abilities, comprising seven of the world’s best differently-abled dancers. No Excuses, No Limits takes audiences on a journey of each dancer’s story through dance, music, audience interaction, working towards an understanding of the limitless possibilities that any person can hold.
Having performed in over 25 countries and reached more than 1 million audiences globally, ILL-Abilities makes its way back to Singapore with its latest production, No Excuses, No Limits. This motivational showcase sold out 10 sessions at Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., USA, and will be one that you probably have not experienced before!
ILL-Abilities is a play on the word “ill”, inspired by its usage in hip hop culture to describe something in a positive manner. Rather than meaning “sick” or “unwell”, the “ill” in ILL-Abilities refers to the incredible, amazing and intricate talent of its crew members, who strive to inspire and spread positive thinking through their optimistic attitudes, personal stories and unique dance moves.
This programme is presented as part of da:ns focus – EveryBody, a weekend of dance with inclusivity, diversity and participation; and we encourage everybody and every body to experience dance.

Showko – Japanese Therapy
During lockdown everybody went within and their lives changed. Showko takes you on a hilarious ride from everyday life into her surreal world through Rakugo (Japanese sit-down comedy) and ventriloquism with her quirky handmade puppets. Expect to roll on the floor like sushi and laugh! Hugely entertaining and wonderfully offbeat.
*a bit more…
Showko is arguably the world’s quirkiest and most original ventriloquist and Rakugo performer. Her real name is Ayako Ono but she was awarded the stage name Showko Showfukutei after completing a 3 year Rakugo apprenticeship. Rakugo is a 400 year old traditional form of Japanese comedy storytelling and – like martial arts – requires the apprentice to train under a master. The difference being that in martial arts you learn how to kick arse; in Rakugo you learn how to make someone laugh their arse off.Armed with a sharp wit, a keen sense of kookiness and an adorable collection of hand-made puppets it’s no wonder Showko was a finalist on Australia’s Got Talent and has her own special on Amazon Prime Video (US & UK).

Wet Plate Portraits with Robert Burke Raby
As part of our exhibition Vintage Pop: Part 1, we are organizing Wet Plate Portrait sessions with Robert Burke Raby on two Fridays in the month of April!
Wet plate collodion (or sometimes known as tintype when poured onto a sheet of black anodized aluminium) is an early photographic process that was invented in 1851. Unlike the instant gratification you get from its digital counterpart today, analogue photography like wet plate collodion takes approximately 15 minutes from start to finish as longer exposure times and complex developing methods are required before results could be seen.
Each monochromatic image that is rendered is unique and one-of-a-kind. Using mainly silver, collodion, light and an extra serving of alchemy, your image will be immortalized onto a 4 x 5-inch (10.16 x 12.7 cm) metal plate which will last around 100-200 years.
This is not merely a photoshoot as you will be invited to join in this interactive process to watch your image reveal itself in the fixing bath and our photographer will also take you through a short history on early photography as well.
See you all for the shoot:)

Vintage Pop
White Space Art Asia proudly presents Vintage Pop, a show that examines the central tenets of the Pop art movement and how it continues to be relevant and resonate with a new generation of artists decades after its introduction. In this dialogue, seriality, repetition, and the eye-hungry references to mainstream popular culture and mass media are visible proofs that the concept of Pop is still pertinent in today’s contemporary art.
Vintage Pop features five contemporary artists stretching across different geographical, cultural, and ideological backgrounds. Five artists from five vastly different countries and life experiences (England, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, and Singapore) will work with popular imageries and iconographies dating back to the 1960s. Alluding to iconic films, cartoons, videogames and pop music, these artists distort the still deeply entrenched demarcation between “authentic” and “commercial” culture.
Popular culture is ubiquitous but not universal. Its shape and form are defined by the prevailing sentiments and norms of a society. While each of these five artists brings a different postmodern interpretation of Pop art, the shared beliefs of the democratization of art and the use of easily identifiable iconography rooted in vintage pop weaves a global unifying language across time and geographies.
Join us as we celebrate these artists and their inimitable interpretations of Pop art in the contemporary context.
Opening Vernissage: 3 April 2021, Saturday 4pm-8pm
Exhibition Period: 3 April 2021 to 15 May 2021, Open 10am – 7pm daily
Venue: 1H Yong Siak Street, Tiong Bahru Estate, Singapore 168641

Coming Together As One Through Art
“Coming Together As One Through Art” is a series of four pop-up art installations by the Singapore National Co-operative Federation (SNCF) to raise awareness about the societal issues of yesteryear that continue to exist today and to showcase the impact when people in the community band together for a common goal.
The first in this pop-up art installation series looks at the topic of money and the social issues related to it, such as moneylending and financial inclusion. Visitors can also find ‘instagrammable’ moments from the mirror room to the exterior façade.
Through imaginative art installations and audio stories, it aims to get people to ponder on this societal topic while discovering more about the history of one of the earliest community self-help organisations that emerged in Singapore – credit co-operatives, which were formed nearly a century ago to provide affordable financial solutions for the people and they continue to serve people’s needs today.
