Conceptualised and produced by visual artist Tang Ling Nah, Drawing Parallel consists of an ephemeral paper installation cum movement-based performance. It examines the medium of drawing as a verb; the act of making marks on a surface in relation to movements performed by the human body in everyday life. The 'drawer', that is the performer, 'draws' on surfaces using actions related to the idea of 'cleaning', such as erasing, mopping, peeling, scraping and wiping and tearing which create marks on surfaces or in space.
The performance is a collaborative project with dancers Eng Kai Er, Adele Goh and Bernice Lee; sound/music designer Ho Wen Yang and violinist Audrina Goh, as well as lighting designers Jim Chan and Suen Kok Khuen.
The performance comprises:
Prelude: Listening, Observing, Marching in
Act 1: Strategising-Passing, thinking, turning, testing, measuring
Act 2: Cleaning Up-Tearing, peeling, crushing, burrowing, burying, pulling, rolling, wrapping, sweeping, throwing, passing
