This event is over.

Synopsis

Co-developed by Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay with applied theatre practitioner and counsellor Rosie McGowan, INTERMISSION is a programme that supports the wellbeing of those in the arts. An intermission allows performers to sustain themselves in a long show. Similarly, the programme aims to provide a safe space for the arts and creative community to reflect, connect, and learn tools for their wellbeing.

The second day of INTERMISSION presents participants with an opportunity to deep-dive into the ABCs (Acceptance, Bravery, Compassion) of wellbeing through an art form of their choice—music, drama, or movement.

While this is an immersive and experiential full-day session led by credentialed therapists, it is not a therapy session. However, participants will gain insights and respite through reflective activities that may be therapeutic in nature.

We welcome all artists, practitioners, and administrators across all creative disciplines, including but not limited to visual arts, theatre, dance, music, and film.

Spots are limited to facilitate meaningful participation. Please register your interest by completing the form and we will follow up in three working days via email. Kindly note that a submission of interest is not a confirmation of participation.

Participants are welcome to join either or both days of INTERMISSION. Click to find out more about Day 1.

For any enquiries, please email engage@esplanade.com.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens when a performance is cancelled or postponed?

When a show is cancelled, ticket buyers will be duly notified by the event organiser primarily via email. You may also be notified through the event organiser's authorised ticketing agent, media or any other applicable communication channels. Information will be provided on where and when you can get your refund. For postponed performances for which the date of the new performance is known, refunds are optional.

For free programmes, any cancellations or postponements will be updated on the event website and/or relevant official communication channels. As no tickets are issued, refunds do not apply.

What happens if it rains during the event?

Can I take photos or record a video during a performance?

For indoor performances, photography and video recording are generally not allowed during the show unless stated otherwise by the promoters or artists.

For performances at public spaces, such as those at the Concourse and DBS Foundation Outdoor Theatre, photography and casual video recording are generally allowed for personal use. Please be mindful not to use flash, obstruct others, or disrupt the performance. Some programmes may still restrict recording based on artist requirements, so please follow on-site announcements or staff instructions.

Can I eat or drink during the show?

Generally, food and drinks are not permitted inside the venue. It depends on the venue as well. For some shows, you may bring food and drinks purchased at the foyer bars at the Concert Hall or Theatre into the venues. For shows at the Annexe Studio, where there is a bar in the venue, eating or drinking is no issue.

For outdoor programmes, food and drinks are typically allowed unless otherwise stated. However, we encourage audiences to be mindful of the performance environment and dispose of waste responsibly. Restrictions may apply depending on the specific event setup, so please refer to the event listing for details.
