About the Speaker:
Goh Lay Kuan’s path in the world of art and performance is a remarkable journey. Formerly the principal dancer of Ballet Victoria in Australia, she returned to Singapore in 1964. Her life intertwined with theatre luminary Kuo Pao Kun, and together, they established the Singapore Performing Art School. Recognised for her tireless contributions, Goh Lay Kuan was honoured with the Cultural Medallion in 1995, a testament to her dedication to Singapore’s arts and culture.

Currently serving as the artistic advisor for The Theatre Practice and the architect of the Play-in-Arts program tailored for preschoolers, Goh Lay Kuan’s insights are both profound and practical. During this enlightening talk, she will generously share her experiences, primarily in Mandarin (with English translation as needed). Her presentation will focus on the evolution of arts education in Singapore, with an emphasis on her over four decades of teaching experience.

This occasion provides a rare opportunity to engage with Goh Lay Kuan, as she imparts her wisdom and reflections on a lifetime devoted to the arts. For those interested in attending, kindly register before March 2, 2013, by emailing info@function8.org.
