You’ve stepped into the minds of different artists at 𝘚𝘈𝘓𝘖𝘕. Now, it’s your chance to step into the mind of co-facilitator and thinker-in-residence, Zachary Ho.

In his article, Zach reflects on what happens when we enter into the processes of other artists. How their practices can unravel our assumptions, open up new curiosities, and shift the ways we understand the world around us.

Take a look into Zach’s brain and read his Substack article: https://zacharyho.substack.com/p/my-year-as-a-thinker-in-residence . And if you’re still curious, join us for our final 2 SALON sessions (details below)!

我们很少会停下来想一想，建立一些不同于既有模式的结构（哪怕只是很小的尝试）；又或者创造不同的方式或平台，借此理解自己与身处的环境，而非将他人置于对立面，这究竟意味着什么。在这一年与艺术工作者不断对话的过程中，他们展现出的勇气与脆弱，也让我们看见了一种力量，一种韧性。

你已经在《（不是美容）沙龙》里走进过不同艺术工作者的思维世界。现在，让我们一起走进联合引导员兼驻场思考者何子详的思维世界。

在这篇文章里，子详回顾了当我们走进其他艺术工作者的创作过程时，会发生什么。他们的实践如何一点点拆解我们原有的想法，打开新的好奇心，也改变我们理解身边世界的方式。

来看看子详的脑袋里都在想些什么，阅读他的 Substack 文章：https://zacharyho.substack.com/p/my-year-as-a-thinker-in-residence 如果读完还是意犹未尽，欢迎加入我们最后两场《（不是美容）沙龙》！（详情如下）

You’ve heard about them. You’ve always wanted to know how their brains work. With one guest artist helming each session, 𝘚𝘈𝘓𝘖𝘕 (𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘍𝘰𝘳 𝘊𝘶𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘏𝘢𝘪𝘳) brings together food, art, and conversation for an interactive experience designed to nourish body AND mind.

𝗠𝗘𝗘𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗜𝗦𝗧: 𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗘 𝗦𝗢𝗡𝗚
Grace Song is a Singaporean multidisciplinary artist and writer-director whose work spans film, movement, and experimental media.

Her practice often explores themes of memory, identity, and the uncanny through an evocative, personal lens. Sensitive and sculptural, she intertwines sensory perception, temporal dislocation, and neurodivergent consciousness with non-linearity, creating works that intersect poetic abstraction and neurological anthropology.

Her most recent work, 𝘏𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘖𝘧 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 made its premiere at Singapore Int'l Film Festival 2025, and has been screened at the Leiden international short film festival, Arkipel - Jakarta International Documentary and Experimental Film Festival, and won the Kodak Film Award at Kurzfilm Festival Hamburg 2026.

The practice of 3133 (Eric Lee) falls somewhere in between the cracks of visual art, performance and cinema. Inspired by notions of “mischief”, he tends to find joy in projects that feed these curiosities.

Past projects include the expanded cinema work 𝘔𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘖𝘧 𝘈𝘯 𝘖𝘶𝘵𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬, presented at the Leiden Essay Film Festival (https://leidenessayfilmfestival.com/en/programme/2026/films/misinterpretations-of-an-outbreak) and 𝘎𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘴 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘋𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴(https://grossnationaldistress.com/).

Practice Tuckshop is headed for Hong Kong! 🇭🇰

We’re super honoured to be invited to this year’s Hong Kong Culture and Sustainability Conference (Hong Kong Culture and Sustainability Centre 香港文化與可持續發展中心 ), where guniangs Xiao Ting and Joey will be repping us with a workshop titled: Mapping Contexts — Practice Tuckshop.

The workshop is fully subscribed, but check out the rest of the conference here: https://www.cusunetwork.com/

𝗠𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗫𝗧𝗦: 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗧𝘂𝗰𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽

How can a team build its own ecosystem while the blueprint is still taking shape? How can it continue to develop its practice and experience while creating and producing work? And when sustainability is not merely an idea, but part of everyday practice, what new possibilities can emerge for making, collaborating and gathering?

Ang Xiao Ting, artist and programmer, and Joey Cheng, producer – two core members of Practice Tuckshop, an independent creative space and brand in Singapore – will lead an interactive work session that invites participants to envision the city as a canvas: what happens when sustainability becomes a lived practice? Through sharing, Q&A, a work session and reflective exchange, participants will use Practice Tuckshop’s experience as a case study to unpack how to keep adjusting the “blueprint” while figuring things out, and connect others’ experiences with the realities of their own work.

Practice Tuckshop is not only a key initiative of The Theatre Practice (Practice), Singapore’s long-established professional bilingual theatre company, but also a creative playground built by the team behind it. Through the work of its artists, Practice continues to evolve as a lasting artistic space in Singapore, actively nurturing and inspiring public engagement with human-centred issues. In this space for continual experimentation and rule-breaking, the team – affectionately known as the Tuckshop Guniangs – moves beyond conventional roles and frameworks to curate unexpected intersections, collaborate with artists and communities, and explore more sustainable ways of making and gathering.

After two years, Kai’s residency at Practice Tuckshop will be coming to an end!

His pop-up Kai’s | 凯 · 味’s last day at our space will be on 27 Nov 2026 — so you’ve got two months left to sample his culinary creations 🍽

We're expecting busy nights leading up to closing and Kai's is a one-man team, so save his sanity (and secure yourself a table) by DMing for reservations

两年过去，凯文在实堂的驻场也即将告一段落！

“凯 · 味”在实堂的最后营业日是 2026 年 11 月 27 日。也就是说，你还有两个月的时间，赶紧来尝尝凯文的拿手好菜 🍽

接下来这两个月，我们预计会有更多人来捧场！“凯 · 味”是由凯文独自掌厨的“一人团队”，想吃到他的料理，又不想到了现场才发现已经满座？记得提前私讯 预约，免得扑空，也让凯文可以少一点手忙脚乱！😉

#实堂 #小小空间大大梦想

10/09/2026

With almost 90 sessions of 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦 under our belt, it's time to take a trip down memory lane to revisit some of our favourite sessions.

#3: TWO HEADS ARE BETTER THAN ONE

Nowhere is it more apparent how food can be a vehicle for family history and an expression of love and care than in our yearly 'mother-daughter' sessions! Here are some dynamic duos we've hosted in our Recess Time kitchen!

RT #69: In preparation for Olivia's next chapter as a university student, what better way to build independence than learning how to feed yourself! Olivia and her mother, Jian Hong, showcase their recent kitchen experiments — fast, nutritious and affordable on a student's budget. Our favourite is "Same Jiu Cai, Different He Zi" (same filling, different pocket!) — their family recipe for Chinese chive dumplings.

RT #83: "𝘈𝘮𝘮𝘶 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘮𝘺 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘸𝘦 𝘮𝘪𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘨𝘰" — Dimitra, from her IG essay 𝘈𝘤𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘌𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘍𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘋𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘜𝘯𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨. Presenting three family recipes, Dimitra and her mother Angura gave us a taste of the complexities and stories behind Bangladeshi food: a cuisine shaped by conquest, famine, travel across generations and seas.

RT #62: Since Phoebe is vegetarian and currently lives abroad, Suat Kheam makes it a point to cook her daughter's favourite dishes whenever she's home (think punchy flavours like rendang, achar, bo bo cha cha, adapted to include their ugly produce haul, which they gathered during a food rescue session).

举办了近 90 场《休息实间》，让我们踏上回忆“食”光机，一起重温那些令人难忘的午餐派对！

#3：两全齐“味”

每年都少不了的“母女档”掌厨人场次，让我们见证食物如何成为家族历史，以及表达爱与关怀的载体！来看看这些曾经一起走进《休息实间》厨房的母女掌厨人组合吧！

《休息实间》 #69：为了迎接亦乐即将展开的大学生活，还有什么比学会自己煮饭，更能培养独立能力呢？亦乐与妈妈郭践红这对母女俩展示了她们在厨房里的实验成果 —— 快速、营养，而且符合学生预算的一餐！我们最喜欢的是“韭菜米盒子”。她们把家里的韭菜饺子食谱重新演绎成米纸卷。

《休息实间》 #83：“Ammu 和她的料理，是我与昔日迁离的另一个家之间，唯一的联系。” —— Dimitra 在她的 Instagram 文章《Acts of Eating, Feeding, Desiring and Unravelling》中这样写道。Dimitra 和妈妈 Angura 带来了三道家传食谱，让我们一尝孟加拉料理背后的复杂故事：一种由殖民历史、饥荒，以及跨世代、跨海迁徙所塑造的饮食文化。

《休息实间》 #62：因为女儿 Phoebe 是素食者，目前又住在国外，所以 Suat Kheam 总会在女儿回家时，特地为她煮上最喜欢的菜肴。仁当、阿杂、摩摩喳喳……这些都是女儿心心念念的味道。这次，她们还把“拯救”回来的“丑”食材加入其中，让这些熟悉的料理又多了一层滋味。

Tuckshop Tidbit # 8: Melon Garden Mural 🍉

If you have been to Tuckshop, you will definitely remember our iconic Melon Garden mural.

It was painted in 2020 for the set of Practice's production 𝘍𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘏𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘙𝘰𝘢𝘥, which uncovered the history and lost stories of Waterloo Street. The original mural was at the Melon Garden Night Club, located at the Victoria Building in the 1980. Thanks to its risqué nature, it was fondly (and vividly) remembered by many students in the area 🙊

While no images of the original could be found, those memories were used as inspiration for illustrator to reimagine a new mural. And so, the Melon Garden girls were brought back to life!

Today, the three women are the backdrop to countless Practice Tuckshop programmes and gatherings, bearing witness to new memories and stories, and carrying a little piece of Waterloo Street’s history into the future.

实堂趣闻 # 8：蜜瓜园壁画 🍉

如果你来过实堂，一定不会忘记我们这幅标志性的“蜜瓜园壁画”。

这幅壁画于 2020 年绘制，原是实践剧场作品《四马路》舞台布景的一部分。《四马路》是一部带领观众漫游滑铁卢街的流动式剧场作品，带着大家一起挖掘这条街道的历史与鲜为人知的故事。

原来的蜜瓜园壁画，来自 80 年代位于维多利亚大厦的“蜜瓜园半夜大酒厅”。由于画面相当引人注目，它也成了附近不少学生记忆深刻的存在 🙊

虽然至今没有留下当时壁画的照片，但艺术工作者铁钩从这些流传下来的记忆中汲取灵感，重新构想了这幅壁画。于是，蜜瓜园壁画的“姑娘”们，就这样重新“活”了起来！

如今，这三位“姑娘”成为无数实堂节目与聚会的背景，见证着一段段新的记忆与故事，也让滑铁卢街的一小段历史，继续走向未来。

With almost 90 sessions of 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦 under our belt, it’s time to take a trip down memory lane to revisit some of our favourite sessions.

# 2: YES, CHEF!!

While we've hosted many professional chefs, here's a special shoutout to the original trio — Priscill, Imran and Mazlan — who taught us the ropes of cooking commercially back in 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦's early days. (The Golden Rule: always keep your work station CLEAN AND ORGANISED.)

All three have helmed multiple RTs (and sous-cheffed for each other!), so here are some of our favourite memories:

RT # 31: Chef Imran () turned a Covid-era passion project into a celebrated handmade-pasta practice — his intricately patterned raviolis and farfalles have gone viral, and we were lucky enough to sample them all the way back in 2021.

RT # 34: Chef Mazlan () always serves up delicious flavours, but this session was especially sweet not just because of his “Oranges Three Ways” dessert, but because he was joined by his son in the kitchen! Fun fact: Chef Mazlan was also the mentor of a very familiar face…

RT # 86: Chef Priscill! With five 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦 sessions under her belt, needs no introduction. An avid food rescuer (and long-time 𝘗𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘭𝘦 𝘗𝘰𝘱-𝘜𝘱 facilitator), her menus are a showcase of how delicious ugly produce can be! Best example? Her famous veggie Hokkien Mee, made with veggie scrap stock (recipe in the RT Journal!)

举办了近 90 场《休息实间》，让我们踏上回忆“食”光机，一起重温那些令人难忘的午餐派对！

# 2：掌厨人驾到！

我们邀请过不少专业厨师来到《休息实间》，但今天必须特别向最初的三位掌厨人 —— 许丹凤、Imran 和 Mazlan致敬！感谢他们在我们初出茅庐时，带着我们一步步摸索商业厨房的门道。（黄金守则：厨房工作台永远要干净又整齐！）

除了多次担任《休息实间》的掌厨人，他们甚至还轮流为彼此担当副厨！让我们一起回顾那些美好“食”光：

《休息实间》 # 31：掌厨人Imran（）
把疫情期间的兴趣计划，变成了备受关注的手工意大利面事业！掌厨人Imran制作的精致义大利面饺和蝴蝶面，一度在网上爆红。而我们早在 2021 年，就有幸在《休息实间》抢先品尝！

《休息实间》 # 34：掌厨人Mazlan（）
掌厨人Mazlan总能端出让人食指大动的美味佳肴。与往常不同，这一期的美食额外甜美 —— 这里不止是指他的”三吃香橙“甜点，还包括此次是他们“父子档”联合下厨的难得体验！你知道吗？掌厨人Mazlan也是某位（大家非常熟悉的）掌厨人的导师……

《休息实间》 # 86：掌厨人许丹凤！（）
相信我们不必为这位，已经坐镇高达五场《休息实间》的掌厨人多做介绍了！作为热衷于拯救食材的掌厨人（同时也是《姑娘泡泡菜》的长期引领者），掌厨人丹凤的菜单总能让我们看到：“丑”食一样可以好吃得不得了！她那道使用“蔬菜边角料”熬成高汤的招牌福建面就是最好的例子！（食谱就在《休息随记》里！）
