Just writing about a certain upcoming event in particular.
Congratulations all above 21, checked the mail lately? You would be or probably already have recieved the nice cheque for $600-$1500 depending on your social status. Yes, courtesy of the government.
Now with how prosperous and generous the government is in mind, lets move on to the topic in discussion.
Well a certain organisation, backed by other organisations (which definitely include an extension, arm of the singapore arts council of course!) has decided to well, invite certain rogue artistes (well naive strangers the the real world in actual fact) to perform in a bid to promote the arts in Singapore.
I shan’t go into too much details but I’ll try and illustrate the situation in a most harmless manner.
“Dear naive sir, I would like to know if u would be interested in performing for our arts festival in about 2 months from now. Media attention and public scrutiny guaranteed.”
Fine print:
Pro- bono. Mics, guitars, drums, amplifiers, cables, sound-crew, lights-specialist, Stage not included. If any absence of the mentioned items would cripple your performance, we are unable to help. If the situation sours and results in cancellation of the performance, a fine will be imposed.
