ART:DIS @ Bukit Merah
Access to professional development remains one of the biggest barriers for aspiring artists with disabilities. At ART:DIS, we’re addressing this gap through BEYOND DIS:PLAY — a theatre training programme designed to cultivate the next generation of D/deaf, neurodivergent, and disabled performers. Over a two-year immersive curriculum, 11 artists have honed their craft through mentorships with industry professionals, gaining technical and creative competencies that prepare them for sustainable careers in the arts. From in-depth scene work and character studies, to rigorous movement drills and vocal exercises, our artists dug deep to prepare for this stage, with each growing in confidence, discipline, and self-expression. Guided by esteemed mentors — including Auderia Tan, Chiew Peishan, Claire Teo, Lim Chin Huat, Karen Tan, Nicole Shaan, Pat Toh, Peter Sau, Su Paing Tun, Tung Ka Wai, Verena Tay, and Yazid Jalil — their upcoming works are ones not to missed!

Every artist experiences the world differently. For many of the students in our foundational art programmes, colours, textures, patterns, sounds and movement are powerful ways to communicate and connect. This year, their creative journeys culminate in Life in 3:D, a multi-sensory showcase inviting audiences to step into their world. Through hand-built ceramics, layered mixed-media works, and interactive performances, visitors can experience first-hand how art can be both deeply personal and universally resonant. This free event highlights how inclusive arts education fosters creativity, confidence, and self-expression of persons with disabilities. You can even experience it yourself through our various hands-on activities!
