From September 17-22, 2006, Fat Bird will host The Theatre Practice from Singapore for five days of discussion, exchange, and performance. On September 20 and 21 at 2:30 and 7:00, Practice will perform “Play Play”. Fat Bird will perform “This Body, These Movements”. There will be a public forum held after the Thursday matinee.

This is not the first time that Fat Bird has worked with Practice. Throughout 2003, Fat Bird members Song Jie and Yang Qian collaborated with Practice choreographer/dancer Kuo Jing Hong and Cinematic Theatre’s Ching-Man Lo to create Women Play, an evening of short plays from three cities (Shenzhen, Singapore, and Hong Kong). In December 2003 and January 2004, Women Play toured Singapore, Hong Kong, and Guangzhou. Cinematic Theatre posted publicity photosof the three plays: Fox Tales (Fat Bird), Lights Up (Practice), and Tell Me More (Cinematic).
