Resonates With Residency (National Gallery Singapore)
The Resonates With Residency is a residency programme that invites local performing artists to respond to works and themes from the Gallery’s long-term and special exhibitions.
Returning with a refreshed format, this cycle of the Resonates With Residency features a cohort of three artists, each commissioned to create a series of multi-disciplinary performances in response to the Gallery's permanent exhibition, Between Declarations and Dreams: Art of Southeast Asia since the 19th Century. Over several months, the artists will draw inspiration from the exhibition's artworks and themes to ideate, innovate, and iterate towards two work-in-progress showcases, leading up to their final performances at Light To Night Singapore 2025.
In her residency, titled A Slow Future Through: A Gentle and Caring Approach to Art Making, Cheryl will explore what it means to prioritise intentionality, compassion and deep “seeing” in life, through the lens of the three works she has chosen. She will consider what we choose to reveal or see in others and ourselves, as well as the potential unseen forces that work against our state of being.

It’s a thrill but with a lot to say about mental health and personal reflection and why people with the biggest grins might hide the biggest sadness.
—Keith Gow, Theatre First
In a society where we are constantly pushed to be more productive, skilful and self-sufficient, what does it mean to 'just be?'. Can we grow from a place of love and trust instead of shame and comparison? Meet Sheryl with an ‘S’. Sheryl lives in Singapore, which also begins with an ‘S’. Life hasn’t been the smoothest for Sheryl, like for us all. No problemo. Follow Sheryl on her quest to become as resilient and as versatile as Seaweed. Enter a world of moody projections, quirky presentations, satirical ads, and a lot of the 'weed' from the sea.
A Judges’ Picks and Nominated for Best in Theatre at Melbourne Fringe 2023, I Am Seaweed is a multimedia theatrical show that creates space for respite in an overwhelming world.
I Am Seaweed resonates with anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed or persistently pressured to keep striving for more, for better. It's an entertaining and good-humoured show that asks us to look inside ourselves and question why we do everything we do and if it's actually making us happy.
