About this event
RE:CALL is an original performance devised by next-generation dance artists in response to Checkpoint Theatre’s Recalling Mother (2009) and its conceptual framework as a “living script”.
First written and performed by Claire Wong and Noorlinah Mohamed in 2006 and revised in subsequent iterations in 2009, 2015, and 2016, Recalling Mother is an evolving text featuring two women telling stories about their mothers and the complexities in their relationships with them.
Join the two dance artists as they respond to the original text through introspective reflections on their own multi-layered relationships with their mothers, while being guided by a shared interest in exchange, reciprocity and dialogue.

Accompanying this performance showcase is a workshop where the artistic team will share their devising techniques and processes with dance participants and facilitate the creation of participants’ own responses to the text of Recalling Mother. More information and workshop registration will be released on 22 July 2021, visit: https://centre42.sg/the-vault-recall/ for updates.
