    Narrated by performer and director Hossan Leong, this episode of Making a Scene features some key members of Singapore's a capella community.

    Making A Scene: The social life of dance

    Dance is not only a spectacle performed by trained professionals. It can be a form of expression, discipline, and memory for anyone.

In this episode, choreographer and educator Dapheny Chen, and Torsten Michaelsen of the German media and performance collective LIGNA, discuss their explorations of these ideas with multidisciplinary artist Alecia Neo.
