Rant with Kumar
Ranting is an expression of anger and frustration that is usually perceived as reckless, thoughtless and destructive. Yet, it also reveals honest feelings, concerns and desires of people. How can we harness the constructive potential of ranting as a kind of communication in the public sphere? What are the things that need to be said in public? Who needs to hear it and how do we talk about it? In this workshop, Kumar borrows from his years of experience in comedy and facilitates the participants to reflect on things they need to rant about and how to do it.

About Kumar
Kumar, is a Singaporean Indian comedian and television host, actor, and drag queen. He made his name at the now defunct Boom Boom Room and was, for a time, synonymous with the cabaret nightclub as its resident performer. Having spent nearly two decades as an entertainer, he has amassed a string of television, stage, and film credits. He released his biographical book, Kumar: From Rags To Drag, in September 2011, in which he publicly came out as gay, making him one of the few openly-gay public figures in Singapore.
