If you thought poetry could only be found quietly in a book, it’s time to awaken to the distinctive spoken word stylings of Jennifer Anne Champion and friends - Jedidiah Huang and Neo Jialing.
These seasoned performers of the Singapore spoken word world will show you that poetry is full of whimsy, joy and play—for the ears, the eyes and the heart.
Jedidiah Huang
Jedidiah Huang is an award-winning spoken word poet. He delights in catchy rhythms, cheeky metaphors, and dramatic twists. Outside of poetry, he is also a seasoned writer for the stage and screen. To sustain his hair perm addiction, he also teaches chess to kids who will inevitably grow up to be way cooler and emotionally regulated than him.
Jennifer Anne Champion
Jennifer Anne Champion is a writer, educator, archivist and textile artist for her multi-modal approach to storytelling. A recent master’s graduate in Creative Writing and Publishing from Nanyang Technological University, Champion is the author of two poetry collections and has been anthologised both in Singapore and abroad. Her poem Sentinel will be anthologised by Cambridge University Press in 2025.
Neo Jialing
Neo Jialing is, among many things, an artist, maker, poet, dancer and potato, with a BA(Hons) in Dance from LASALLE College of the Arts. Her works are centred in somatic, lived experiences, wherefrom she strives to create and share safe spaces, transcending atypical notions of dance whether through spoken word or as a moving body. An active educator and creator for young audiences, Jialing helms the multi-disciplinary collective JAGA-EMOTE!, creating experiences for children to navigate body safety/ autonomy, self-care, acceptance and growth.
