Gillian will be dancing and singing (and whining) as an emo / goth teenager in Thief of Time. Hemang Yadav and Lee Gaoju are also in this production by Eugene Lin and the Voice.
It has no relation to the traditional saying "Procrastination is the thief of time", or Terry Pratchett's book.
Rehearsals are underway. Fun, tiring and also exciting because the two almost sold-out shows are on in just a few days. There is a 3pm show and a 7pm show in the Republic Cultural Centre (TRCC) 1000-seat theatre in Republic Poly, Woodlands.

The show on the 5th at the Substation went ok and the question and answer session was very lively. Gillian's very glad that there are people who would choose theatre's works-in-progress over a cinema, karaoke and a fancy dinner. She's completely grateful there were many familiar faces present. She should've added this on the 6th but was still recovering from sleepless nights and have been busy rehearsing for other shows... So she has lazily plagiarised her facebook note. Wakey wakey! Keith DeSouza hosts the morning show on News Radio 93.8 FM from 6am to 10am everyday. And he is very sweet and gracious to invite Gillian on the show to talk about her first original play, "Tuesday Afternoon". Gillian finally wrote her first theatre piece. Not for a corporate event, not for kids, not for any monetary benefit. Now why did she write it? She doesn't know. She just had to tell the story of... Zelda and Susan. Yes but not quite. In episode 2, Bee Geok is a simple yet complex character who goes on a date with the lead of Channel 5's newest TV series, "Sayang Sayang". Gillian's friend and director, Jeremy Sing, has a film showing in an online film festival based in Japan. It is super 8mm film in the genre of a silent movie, but a little more quirky. There is a online system for voting and posting comments. So vote away! Thank you! The last weekend for Gillian was a fun filled one working with friends. She was a nosy Nonya in the Peranakan Museum on May 10th and 11th, interacting with all the amused museum guests. As a citizen of the large world we live in, Gillian was proud and honoured to be part of Three Men Productions' "Use", an empathetic and thought-provoking drama piece written by dear friends Hemang Yadav and Lee Gaoju. She burst into tears after the first rehearsal from the weight of the truths and emotions so many of us conveniently deny. "Use" was staged at the Post Museum on Saturday, May 3rd, for Migrant Voices' "Integrate" weekend event. Please visit migrantvoices.org to find out more about, and to support this unique arts society. The Singapore International Film Festival (SIFF) is on again and Lucky 7, an experimental local feature is a film not to be missed. Made up of 7 segments by 7 different local film directors, Gillian plays May, the sister, in the 5th segment by Chew Tze Chuan. This feature, rated R21 without cuts for the SIFF screenings (expect censorships in general local theatrical release), is the brainchild of Sun Koh. You can find out more about Sun here. Gillian was recently hosting for Olay, American Express, HSBC and CAAS. Not only did her guests and she have a whole lot of fun, she learnt a lot about skincare, history, food, women's golf and the airport. |
