Hi there
There are a few events which you can bring your child to go to this coming months. 🙂
Enjoy the Lighter side of the Arts all the way from Canada, Japan and Korea this coming 18 May – 3 Jun 2012 at Flipside 2012 with the little ones.
In conjunction with Singapore Arts Festival, Flipside presents the lighter side of the arts for all to enjoy with programmes that are quirky, comic and most of all, fun!
Circus Incognitus by Jamie Adkins (Canada)
19 May,Sat 3pm and 7.30pm
20 May, Sun 3pm
Recital Studio $35
“Intricately choreographed mayhem, perfect comic timing”
– New York Post
“A Chaplinesque demonstration of physical comedy that charms while it astonishes”
– Winnipeg Free Press
An alumnus of the famed Pickle Family Circus, Cirque Eloize and a featured soloist with Cirque du Soleil, Jamie Adkins pays homage to the small acts that occur between the big show-stopper acts of a circus.
In this playful circus-comedy about a man who has something to say but can’t quite get it out, Jamie’s acrobatic feats of strength and imagination never fail to draw oohs, aahs and exclamations of “How’d he do that?”. Whether he’s juggling improbable items on his body, or attempting a daring display with a little help from audience members, this amusing and amazing artist will have you charmed and captivated.
Right side up and upside down, Jamie Adkins finds the magic hidden in just about anything!
1hr, no intermission

GAMARJOBAT SHOW by Gamarjobat (Japan)
22 – 24 May, Tue – Thu 7.30pm
Recital Studio $35
“A riotous, euphoric explosion of joyous physical comedy. A fast-paced, perfectly choreographed feast of visual gags”
– Chortle: The UK Comedy Guide
Formed in 1999, Gamarjobat—which means “hello” in Georgian—have established themselves as world leaders in physical comedy. Along with worldwide tours including five successful Edinburgh Fringe outings and a run on Broadway, Gamarjobat have become regulars on Japanese entertainment TV shows.
With three sold-out shows in Flipside 2006, Japan’s silent comedy duo returns with a new arsenal of clever free-flowing mime, gentle acrobatics and side-splittingly funny sketches to entertain and leave their audiences speechless with laughter.
1hr 10 mins, no intermission

Paper Window by Ccotbbat (Korea)
26 May, Sat 3pm, 7.30pm
27 May, Sun 3pm
Recital Studio $35
What happens if I jump into a painting?
A banana becomes a parachute; a spiral of stairs that ends with a surprise; a giant hand appears out of nowhere!
Paper Window is a multi-disciplinary performance that transports performer and audience alike through an imaginary and often humorous world, created out of the real-time actions of the performer, the drawings of a painter, and the participation of the audience.
Immerse yourself intriguing stories and interactive moments as a bare white wall becomes an infinite canvas, bound only by the imaginations of everyone present.
Be taken on a journey where reality meets imagination as a magical sketchbook comes to life!
1hr, no intermission
