No Spot of Ground – A Promenade Writing Workshop

Part-scavenger hunt and part-writing workshop, No Spot of Ground – A Promenade Writing Workshop provides a space for you to excavate your own relationship with memory and forgetting through a series of guided explorations around Esplanade and Marina Bay.

Playwrights Rachel Chin and Danial Matin will lead participants through a series of exercises to create a short written work, be it poetry, prose or dramatic scene, that draws on their own memories and amnesia of spaces in Singapore.   

No prior writing experience is required for these workshops. Participants are encouraged to bring along any writing device (pen and notebook, tablet or phone) and to dress comfortably for some walking.   

Rachel Chin and Daniel Matin are currently writers with Centre 42’s Playwright’s Professional Development Residency, a long-form residency programme for early-career playwrights that prioritises writer development and advocacy for their work.  

This is a companion programme to Mosaic (18 – 20 Aug 2023) at the Singtel Waterfront Theatre at Esplanade. The Studios companion programmes are an invitation to deepen engagement with the artistic works and the conversations raised in the season.
