In a first of its kind in Singapore, five newcomers - with a little guidance, a lot of creativity and open minds - staged a theatre show at the Stamford Arts Centre on Dec 20 last year.
Titled Isms, it was Agam Theatre Lab s first experimental programme to develop fresh theatre artistes by providing them opportunities to find their creative voice.
Agam Theatre Lab was started in 2019 by Subramaniam Ganesh, a passionate theatre exponent, in collaboration with other theatre enthusiasts.
