Text by Joelle Cecilia Quek.
Writing about the creative process behind The Feelings Farm, a play by Amanda Chong, with music by Julian Wong and directed by Edith Podesta, was an emotional journey that I'm thankful I had the opportunity to experience. The team worked with children from complex backgrounds and seeing their inner world represented in their artworks and the theatre piece was a very humbling encounter.

T.H.E Dance Company's artistic director Kuik Swee Boon's encyclopaedic list of references and inspirations made him a joy to speak to.
