The LASALLE Show kicks off in April 2019

From early April to end May, almost 900 graduating students’ works are up for public and industry viewing as part of Singapore's LASALLE College of the Arts’ annual graduation showcase.

Developed over the course of a student’s final year, the works at The LASALLE Show represent the culmination of students' artistic journey, as well as the manifestation of their dreams and passions. The LASALLE Show also serves as a barometer of the state of contemporary arts and design, and the emerging oeuvre of young artists.

The LASALLE Show is an annual celebration of creativity and passion that promotes critical discourse, as well as the promising future of arts education in Singapore,” said Professor Steve Dixon, President of LASALLE College of the Arts.

The season runs from 3 April 2019 to 29 May 2018. Kicking off the season, the production of Joe Harbot’s A New and Better You, by the graduating BA(Hons) Acting cohort of 2019, is directed by Edith Podesta. Following closely is Into the Dawn, the springboard from which LASALLE’s dance programme launches its graduating students into the world. 

Film lovers can enjoy the ticketed Avant Premiere, a screening of BA(Hons) Film students’ short films and documentaries at The Projector. This year’s graduating films showcase the best fiction and documentary narratives from LASALLE’s Puttnam School of Film & Animation, celebrating stories ranging from landscapes, people, and emotions.

Other highlights include:

Aida

An epic tale of love, loyalty and betrayal, Aida is a musical rock opera that embraces multicultural casting and exuberant dancing, soaring ballads and rousing choral numbers.
