"The Teenage Textbook", "Art Studio", "Malay Sketches" and "Karang Guni Boy"—these are just some of the many SingLit titles that have been successfully adapted into theatrical stagings. What are some of the motivations behind these adaptations? What are some of the processes and techniques involved in bringing the page to the stage? How can you get started on your adaptation journey? Hear from three Singaporean playwrights Alfian Sa’at, Jean Tay and Neo Hai Bin at the Page-To-Stage: Adapting Sing Lit to Singapore Theatre panel sharing on 24 November 2021, 7.30pm! Facilitated by writer and poet Charlene Shepherdson, the speakers will discuss their approaches and experiences in creating plays inspired by and adapted from local literature. This panel is presented in collaboration with Centre 42.

A major overhaul of the Singapore Copyright Act is expected in November this year - with new rights given to copyright owners and creators, and new exceptions to copyright infringement that will benefit users. Get the low-down in this webinar. We will cut through the legalese to highlight the key changes, explain how they will affect you, and tell you what you can do to be prepared. This talk is co-organised by Singapore Book Council and CLASS.
