The Dinosaur Show

The Dinosaur Show is about legacy. It’s about all we want to leave behind.

Inspired by an argument in Bath and a museum about a prehistoric age this is a five chapter performance of epitaph and memory, faith and uncertainty.

Using a fascination with the age of the dinosaurs as motivation, the company articulate their desires, hopes and ambitions for the moment when the meteor strikes, the fatigue sets in and all that’s left of them is a distant memory.

Part of the M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2011

Drawn from a personal experience of an education in Singapore, Primary 1 is an investigation into the potency of educational imagery as a tool that shapes the young minds of society. Exploring the balance between idealism and reality, globalisation and nationalism, the installation looks at the images we enshrine and wonders why we chose them. 

Primary 1 inherently deals with the theme of art and education. The piece has been created as a direct response to the visual imagery in primary education and our research has taken us through educational materials across continents. The work questions and aims to discuss how education shapes young minds (both positively and negatively) as it traverses the delicate line between asserting homogeny and celebrating diversity. Drawing on Jemima's experiences in various forms of education in and out of Singapore, Primary 1 offers both a personal and universal response to growing up and out of lessons that were once held dear.
