Singapore is known for its national-level initiatives to bring arts and culture to its citizens, such as the Singapore Arts Festival and the Singapore Biennale. A unique presence among these festivals is the M1 Singapore Fringe Festival launched in 2005 by The Necessary Stage, a theatre company known for its social engaged works and for its collaborative work with foreign artists. In this interview we speak with Alvin Tan, co-founder with Haresh Sharma of The Necessary Stage company and co-artistic director of the M1 festival. Tan talks about the company’s activities and the festival that celebrates its tenth holding this next year beginning Jan. 8, 2014.
