Established in 1985, T:>Works is an independent and international performance company based in Singapore. It is an Institute of Public Character. It is currently led by Artistic Director, Dr. Ong Keng Sen.
T:>Works’ vision and mission is the pioneering of thought leadership in the arts focused on transdisciplinary, transcultural, and inclusive processes.
To this end, T:>Works’ mission is to provide a strong educational perspective with research and discourse contextualising the histories, contemporary experiences, and art practices of South East Asia.
The mission of T:>Works also serves to investigate the current urgencies of being located in Singapore through different creative expressions in the public sphere.
“Live performance is about gathering: coming together to reflect, to emote, to experience, or to meditate in a shared space and time. However, to gather, according to the Cambridge English Dictionary is also ‘to put your arms around someone and hold or carry them in a careful or loving way.’ Now in this current urgency of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is the time to sustain a different gathering of arts audiences and artists, to hold or carry them in a careful and loving way. Hence, we will be creating a free new festival in the virtual space, to encourage open access and circulation for all during these transitional challenges, and continuing to perform for future audiences.”
