Tanzyoobi Omedetoo!

We had a party to celebrate the birthdays of our performers Pat and Norico!

First, we all stopped by at East Coast Park to catch fellow performer Rizman Putra's "Jazzy Jazz and the Razzmatazz":


Then we went to TheatreWorks producer Tay Tong's home in Joo Chiat Road for dinner and drinks.


First it was just me, Pat, Norico and Ken and his wife Hiroko.


Tay Tong had ordered in some yummificacious Peranakan delicacies from Chili Padi. Buah keluak rice, anyone?


Around 10pm, the tech boys came in, tired and ravenous from having repaired a single light bulb. We washed up and gave them the next round of gustatory delights.


Here you may gain a glimpse of the absolute, pristine whiteness of Tay Tong's domicile. The yellow is mood lighting + my weird camera settings.


So good to see young men eating food.


A little later TT brought out the fruit bowl:


But by then Jiro was doing show-and-tell with his digital recordings of his experimental sets for fashion parades.


And some of us were just plain tired:


We did have a lovely cake, though:


Say goodbye to the birthday girls and TT. And let's try one more time for the perfect shot.

Jazzy Jazz and the Razzmatazz!

The first production by Paradise Alley (Cake Theatrical Productions), directed by our performer Rizman Putra. Free at East Coast Park this Saturday afternoon.


Sharon Tang from Cake Theatrical Productions says:

Come and join us this Saturday 23 August [5.00pm & 6.30pm] at Marine Cove [East Coast Parkway] for Jazzy Jazz and The Razzmatazz, directed by our Associate Artist Rizman Putra!

Involving Contortionists, Bhangra Dancers, Dhol Players, Zapin Dancers, Rock & Roll band, Breakdancers, Beatboxer and contemporary performers, Jazzy Jazz and The Razzmatazz is a super wacky super bizarre super musical theatrical spectacle set to challenge any parade of dreams on this planet or in outer space!

Presented by Asia Pacific Breweries Foundation, Jazzy Jazz and The Razzmatazz is the first performance under our latest division Paradise Alley which was set up this year. It is also Rizman’s directorial debut and we are really excited about it! Paradise Alley is a free annual outdoor performance presented by Cake. Fusing experimental theatre with visual spectacle, Paradise Alley takes to the streets, bringing theatre into common spaces to capture, enthral and uplift the spirit and imagination of audiences in a diverse and electrifying gathering.

And there will be free popcorn if you say the password 'Paradise Alley'! Come and have a day out at the beach with us!

Hope to see you at Jazzy Jazz and The Razzmatazz!

Thanks!
