I have been selected as one of two directors for Esplanade Singapore's "TRIP" Programme, 2022 - 2024. I will be directing 2 productions over the course of 2 years, professionally staged and produced by Esplande Singapore.  I will be announcing my first show with Esplanade for April 2023.

TRIP is a new programme by Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay, presented as part of The Studios, that aims to provide early-career directors with the opportunity to direct their own productions and showcase their work at the Esplanade Theatre Studio. 

This March, coinciding with International Women's Week, I will be making my Singapore directing debut with Lotus Root Support Group - an independent production about Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome or PCOS, written and performed by Singaporean theatremakers, Shannen Tan and Miriam Cheong.
