Scratch-Easy IV | Movement Shorts: Murakami

Launched in April 2025, Scratch-Easy is a collaborative, work-in-progress dance, movement, and theatre presentation by established and emerging practitioners in Singapore in an informal setting for experimentation and feedback.

Open to audiences and enthusiasts of all ages, Scratch-Easy gives insights into theatremaking as the actors and movers share their creative process and movement tools—including choreography, narratives, and other collaborative art forms—through short sketches or skits. This fourth installment presents movement shorts inspired by bestselling Japanese writer Haruki Murakami.

Static Metamorphosis

Static Metamorphosis is a theatre collective that began re-imagining comic strips onto platform theatre. Comics have this amazing ability to take us on a journey through landscapes, narratives and characters all just in a box, and platform theatre has that exact same capacity on just one platform. Formed by Lecoq-trained actor-director Eugene Chow in 2024, the multi-faceted group of artists is a growing collective that does everything from gestural theatre to dance to sound, bringing their talents onto performance spaces to enhance the theatrical experience of their devised themes.

The Substation

The Substation nurtures independent creative practitioners in collaborative community through the multi-disciplinary curation of contemporary arts practices from theatre and dance to film, music, literary arts, performance art, visual arts, and related fields. As one of Singapore's first independent, non-profit arts development platforms since 1990, The Substation today continues its commitment to the discovery of new talent, the value of diversity, and the development of creative practices with a vision to build a regional community through art-making and dialogue.
