Difference from SAF 2011 to SAF 2012


Singapore Arts Festival 2011 had the theme of “I Want to Remember”. Unfortunately for me, I did not have the chance to attend the previous Arts Festival; therefore I do not have the first-hand experience of how different it was from this year’s Singapore Arts Festival. Hence, my comparison analysis would only be a superficial view from the research done.

Singapore Arts Festival 2011 and 2012 were both held at Esplanade Park, even though the performance stage was set up in a different manner. SAF 2011 had an outdoor theatre as the main stage, which was built from scratch, while SAF 2012 made use of the sand pit area as a stage by having containers as a backdrop for screenings of videos.

Of course, the performances and theatrical acts are vastly different, other than the Kid’s Arts Village remaining a regular programme in the event, even though the activities were different,

Even with the changes from  the previous year, the main objective of the festival has remained constant, with the goal of bring arts and people together as a whole and developing as well as showcasing the local arts of Singapore.
