The Naughty List: A Christmas Cabaret
Are you feeling a little… naughty this Christmas? 🎄✨
The Naughty List isn’t your typical carols-and-cocoa kind of show. This cabaret mixes it up with tantalising pole and chair dances, fierce drag performances, and a cheeky stand-up comedy act that’ll leave you laughing (and maybe blushing). Expect mistletoe moments, outrageous moves, and a night of grown-up holiday fun. Hosted by the charming and ever-so-cheeky Victor Pang, who will keep you on your toes all night long.
Expect a line-up that’s anything but traditional holiday cheer:
Pole & Chair Dance Performers: Victor Pang (yes, he’s double trouble as your host and performer!), Alice, Von, Ileane, , Kayla will bring steamy, show-stopping moves with a side of festive flair.
Drag King: Aloyius D, our dashing Drag King, will serve charisma and holiday magic, keeping the energy fierce and fabulous.
Stand-Up Comedy: Let Sasha, Hilmi, and Sunny tickle your funny bone with stand-up that’s as daring as it is hilarious.
And let’s not forget our very own Diva Pole students—Rebecca, Jiawei, and Nicole—who’ll be losing their public performance “virginity” right before your eyes! Come cheer them on as they make their debut and add a special dose of joy (and maybe some nerves) to the night.
So, if Santa skipped your chimney this year, don’t fret—we’ve got your ticket to something delightfully naughty instead. Book now, and let’s make this Christmas one to remember! 🎅🔥
Expect 18 year old and above rating.

With limited seats available, book now to experience the magic of our Book A Writer programmes.
DETAILS
Dates: 19 October 2024
Time: 2pm-4pm
Location: Sing Lit Station, 22 Dickson Road, #02-01, Singapore 209506

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
A Translingual Toolkit: Writing in Multiple Languages with Alfian Sa’at
In Singapore, a universal bilingual education has meant that most of us speak English as well as a mother tongue language. Yet many of us treat these languages as separate, and often describe ourselves as ‘deficient’ or ‘one-sided’ bilinguals, often with a mastery over just one of those two languages.
Enter the idea of the ‘translingual’, someone who moves across languages, and is interested in the contact between those languages. What does it mean to write in two languages, at the same time? In the plays of Haresh Sharma, characters are using English, but with Malay, Mandarin or Tamil syntax and loan words, creating new theatrical languages. And various Chinese-background poets have tried their hand at poems which elaborate on Chinese ideograms.
In this workshop, we will explore the creation of translingual texts—how the vocabulary and structure of languages like Malay, Tamil, Hindi etc can inflect our own English-language writings. We will test the effects of translingual experimentations on other Anglophone readers: as novelty, strangeness, haunting and mystery.
Note: Recommended for participants with some basic knowledge of a non-English language.

His published works include three collections of poetry: One Fierce Hour, A History of Amnesia and The Invisible Manuscript; a collection of short stories, Corridor; a collection of flash fiction, Malay Sketches; three collections of plays as well as the published play Cooling-Off Day and Hotel.

UltraSound presents: Sacred Ecstatic Circle
UltraSound 3? Already?! 🌟 This time, we’re swapping strobe lights for something more soulful. Enter The Sacred Ecstatic Circle, a dynamic collective of Singapore-based multi-hyphenate artists and spiritual seekers who come together to create and perform in an eclectic fusion of contemporary and traditional art forms. Expect elements of esoterica, ritual practice, and religious art from around the globe. Unlike the wild energy of the last UltraSound, this one promises a more introspective, mellow vibe—though the free flow of Heineken Silver 🍻 might keep things a little playful.
First Act: 🌿 A serene sound bath and guided meditation by the multi-talented Arunditha Emmanuel, a poet, musician, and performance artist.
Second Act: 🍷A site-specific alchemic performance of ‘Rubedo: Journey of the Red Man’ by Jireh Koh featuring live vocals and body art by Koh (his range goes from opera to throat-singing) accompanied by live ‘percussion painting’ or ‘playnting’ (you’ll see) by Khaitama D. Sun.
Third Act: 🎶 An improvised blend of music and movement featuring movement and theatre artist Sanat Mehta, actor and performance maker Tysha Khan, vocalist Joy Koh (channeling tribal sounds ), and musicians Ben K (didgeridoo 🎵), Kanesh Subramaniam and Mahesh Iyer (percussion).
Closing Act: 🎧 A DJ set by the ‘conscious DJ’ Dr Foo, who will take us on a journey through downtempo and world ethnic sounds coupled with the soothing vibrations of sound healing instruments.
