Singapore is now perceived as exciting, creative, and buzzing with opportunities for living it up and creative work.” Heng Swee Keat, Minister for Education, at the Art Elective Programme Exhibition Opening Ceremony 2011, 4 August 2011

ABOUT LASALLE

LASALLE College of the Arts was founded by Brother Joseph McNally – a De La Salle educator who was also a pioneer of creative arts education in Singapore – in 1984.

LASALLE is a specialist tertiary institution leading contemporary arts education in fine art, design, media, and performing arts in the Asia Pacific.

The LASALLE name is associated with progress, quality, and uncompromising standards in creative arts education. It is a reputation built from a strong track record of nurturing some of Singapore’s leading creative talents, who have formed the backbone of the creative industries locally and regionally.

Programmes & Awards LASALLE offers a comprehensive range of programmes specialising in the disciplines of Arts Management, Design, Fine Arts, Film, Media Arts, Dance, Music, and Theatre. Students can look forward to graduating with the award of a Diploma, a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) or a Master of Arts in their respective specialisations.

Contemporary Focus With an emphasis on contemporary practice and research, our teaching philosophy emphasises idea generation and new interpretations of creative disciplines. Our students’ ideas and creativity set them apart as they emerge as reflective practitioners in the industry.

Research by Practice: A 21st Century ApproachAll research starts with ideas. More than two decades after its humble beginnings, LASALLE can look back on a long tradition of practice-led research in art and design. The impressive list of successful LASALLE alumni, who were prominently involved in shaping Singapore’s arts scene, attest to the institution’s strength in providing an appropriate academic environment for the creation of novel ideas and new knowledge.

LASALLE values the professional practice of all full-time and part-time staff as one of its most important assets. Our unique college environment is formed by a faculty of Singaporean and international artists and educators, originating from more than 20 countries worldwide. Many are renowned experts in their areas and actively involved in exhibitions, conferences, and performances. The incorporation of their respective expertise in course delivery closely relates teaching and learning to a broad range of theoretical and intellectual concerns in contemporary art and design practice.

Hence, students are constantly exposed to first-hand experience in current research practices, leading to the acquiring of a wide set of knowledge and skills by the time they graduate. These skills enable them to successfully adjust to the multi-faceted demands of the creative industries.

As a Singaporean institution for tertiary arts education, positioned at the crossroads of diverse cultures within a multiethnic society, LASALLE aims to add a distinctive Singaporean viewpoint to the ongoing debate on repositioning artistic practice in a post-industrialised society.


“This LASALLE-Goldsmiths partnership is another step forward. Goldsmiths is one of the top universities in the world for Arts and Humanities, and LASALLE can develop its faculty and arts research capabilities through this partnership with Goldsmiths. The partnership will enhance the opportunities for our budding arts talents.” Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, at the signing ceremony between LASALLE College of the Arts and Goldsmiths’ College, University of London, held on 29 February 2012

LASALLE PROSPECTUS


007

In the context of the fast growing economic, political and cultural importance of Asia, there is a need to redefine formerly familiar notions of “East and West”, “Tradition and Contemporary”, in relation to artistic practice in the 21st Century. Singapore in particular, with ambitious plans for its future in a post-industrialised world, is in a prime position to take a lead role in this long overdue paradigm shift.

The main focus of LASALLE’s Research Committee is to meet the complex demands for practice-led research in the context of tertiary arts education, and to identify areas of research in arts-related content, technology, and infrastructure, in which LASALLE should engage. The institutional framework for the facilitation of research encompasses various approaches, such as

•providingcontinuoussupportforfacultyintheirprofessional practice, ranging from professional leave for the realisation of particular projects to financial assistance of PhD studies,

•allocatingoffundsforart-relatedresearchdeemedto strengthen LASALLE’s reputation and recognition as an arts institution of international standing, and

•establishingstronglinksbetweentertiaryeducationand research practice by encouraging research proposals arising from postgraduate studies.

The essential capacity to collate, communicate, and disseminate knowledge and expertise to students, as well as to the wider community in Singapore, will increasingly be valued in LASALLE’s research scheme.

Capitalising on best practices in generating manifold novel ideas, and on the unique opportunities that an integrated arts campus can offer, LASALLE aims to assume a significant role in Singapore for practice-led research in visual and performing arts, as well as in arts education in a global culture.

Specialist Mentors Students are mentored by international faculty who span a breadth of creative professions from designers and painters to actors, composers, dancers, directors, interactive artists, curators, and many more. Collectively, they represent an international career portfolio with organisations including ZKM Centre for Art and Media, CILECT (International Association of Film and Television Schools), The Esplanade Co Ltd, Glasgow School of Art, National Arts Council of Singapore, ESMOD, National Institute of Dramatic Art, New York University, and Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts.

Arts celebrities who have stepped through our doors, inspiring and mentored students and guests alike, include American pop artist Frank Stella, British sculptor Antony Gormley, Oscar® awardwinning producer Lord David Puttnam, Irek Mukhamedov of the Bolshoi Ballet, new media guru Lev Manovich, fashion authorities Colin McDowell, ck Calvin Klein’s Kevin Carrigan and Matthew Williamson, revolutionary Dutch designer Marcel Wanders, production designer Grant Major (Lord of the Rings), and animator-producer David Sproxton (Wallace & Gromit, Chicken Run).

Partner Institution LASALLE is a partner institution of Goldsmiths’ College, University of London, renowned for its creative and innovative approach to teaching and research in the arts. Goldsmiths has approved LASALLE as an appropriate tertiary institution in Singapore to offer degree programmes leading to Goldsmiths’ validated awards.

All degree programmes offered at LASALLE have been designed and developed by LASALLE to fufill the needs of the creative industries in Singapore and Asia-Pacific. These programmes are validated through a process of external peer review by Goldsmiths’ College, University of London, as being of an appropriate standard and quality to lead to a Goldsmiths’ award.

Government Support As part of the government’s plans to upgrade the arts education in Singapore, LASALLE is a recipient of financial support from Ministry of Education (MOE) for both Diploma and Bachelor of Arts (Hons) programmes. Eligible students are entitled to subsidised fees through the MOE Tuition Grant Scheme.

Constitution As a private, non-profit arts institution, LASALLE College of the Arts is a registered Institute of Public Character and operates autonomously under the constitution of LASALLE College of the Arts Limited.

INTEGRATED ARTS CAMPUS

Situated in the Arts, Culture, Learning, and Entertainment hub of Singapore, the city campus encourages interaction through its glass façade and gateless walls. The design provides many platforms for interaction and inspiration.

LASALLE’s unique learning environment encourages interdisciplinary interaction and a holistic approach to contemporary practice. On any given day, you are exposed to the various creative disciplines – you could be viewing an exhibition by an international artist, then attending a lecture by a guest designer, followed by a concert at lunchtime, critiquing a fellow student’s work-in-progress, and finally, helping your friends with their film project.

These spaces are dedicated to the presentation of art, design, and media arts.

THE WIN-WIN FACTOR

Where Student Life and Industry Experience Become One Beyond just learning how to be the best arts and creative industry practitioners in your time at LASALLE, the practical and practice-based pedagogy also promotes industry collaborations and participation in competitions on a regional level, thus inculcating a sense of real-life experience that will hold you in good stead once you step into the environment of contributing to the economy at large.

In 2011, LASALLE’s winning streak at major competitions, such as The Crowbar Awards organised by the Association of Accredited Advertising Agents of Singapore, and the Singapore International Film Festival’s Silver Screen Awards, was testament to the College’s world-class standards in arts education, as well as the incandescent talent of its student body.

LASALLE’s Faculty of Design produces programmes that are geared towards being intimately relevant to the advertising, design, and fashion industries of today’s world, which explains why the students are strongly encouraged to have their works represented and competing at a diverse range of events, including

Pay It Forward In 2012, students from the Arts Management Programme conceptualised, organised, directed, and produced i-AM 2012 Arts Festival, an annual arts festival for social causes.

Over a period of 10 days, 3 visual art exhibitions, 3 art performances, and 6 outreach programmes were featured and each of these reached out to society in unique ways - supporting and educating the public about issues that range from debilitating diseases such as Alzheimer’s to the importance of encouragement and opportunities that our youths-at-risk currently seek.

“On the part of the Government, the state will facilitate and encourage Singaporeans to contribute to the arts. So for example, we will provide good infrastructure… We will also provide support for funding, and our annual programme spending on the arts is going up significantly… by more than 50% to reach $365 million.” Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, at the signing ceremony between LASALLE College of the Arts and Goldsmiths’ College, University of London, held on 29 February 2012

We are ranked No. 1, ahead of 2nd-placed Switzerland, in terms of the quality of our educational system in 2011 Global Competitiveness Report conducted by the World Economic Forum.

WHY SINGAPORE?

Singapore’s prime location as the epicenter of the Asia-Pacific regional zone, its focus on productivity and efficiency, Government’s support, as well as a robust and safe info-technology infrastructure, strategically positions the island state as the perfect place for the convergence of the world’s best talents and companies, and this is evidenced by the set up of offices and studios here by major creative corporations like Lucasfilm’s Industrial Light and Magic, BMW Designworks (only design studio outside of California and Munich),and Philips Design (Asia Pacific’s headquarters).

The eighth art, film, resembles so many other arts. However, it is in itself a unique medium. Film prizes the collaborative process, and The Puttnam School of Film sits in a privileged position of being able to tap into the ecosystem of the various arms of an arts college. Whilst doing so, the primary focus of the school is to nurture its students to find their own voice through the art of cinematic storytelling.

This programme answers the call of the local and international film community, which seeks reflective practitioners empowered by the capacity for creativity and authenticity. Through practice-based learning, instilled with critical thinking, you will be inspired to communicate within a cinematic framework and explore various narrative environments, such as short and feature films, documentaries, mini series, and television commercials, with an emphasis on professional and broadcast standards.

While keeping with the current advances in technology, the school also observes that these are mere tools in the overall architecture of content. Although new technologies always have and will continue to have an impact on the realisation of artistic works, the programme will emphasise skills and knowledge that refer to the artistic and conceptual traditions in film, especially in the area of storytelling, in all the film

related disciplines, from screenwriting, directing, and producing to cinematography, sound, and editing.

Level 1 establishes the groundwork of filmmaking and presents the theoretical approaches needed for the study of film. You will be introduced to the disciplines of screenwriting, producing, directing, cinematography, sound recording, sound-designing, and editing. Level 2 develops the practical and academic work begun in the previous level and takes the collaborative process of film practice further, through various exercises and a short film project. Central to Level 3 are the complex demands of professional filmmaking. Work undertaken in the final year combines your developed artistic approach and technical skills, culminating in a Thesis Film where you specialise in a discipline.

Career Paths: Screenwriter, Producer, Fiction or Documentary Director, Cinematographer, Editor, Sound Designer, Production Designer

Teaching Methods: You will have opportunities to work in studios and attend special workshops and masterclasses. You will attend lectures, tutorials, seminars, and screenings. You will participate in class presentations and complete written assignments. You will be assessed at the end of every semester on your studio practice.

“I feel that the most important thing I’ve learnt from The Puttnam School of Film is how to collaborate with and appreciate other creative individuals during the production of a film. Being ethical, respectful, and creatively open to your fellow filmmakers in the process of making a film whilst also ensuring one’s own artistic integrity remains is something I strive for.” James Khoo, alumnus, BA(Hons) Film, Winner of Best Short Film for “Hentak Kaki” at the Singapore International Film Festival 2011

MUSICAL THEATREDuration: 3 Years Award: BA(Hons) Musical Theatre

The world of musical theatre is diverse and colourful – with new musical works being brought alive everywhere by performers, directors, choreographers, designers, and musicians. As an art form, it attracts an increasingly sophisticated worldwide viewership. While technical advances have transformed stage productions into rich visual spectacles, highly trained and gifted performers remain integral to the success and growth of the genre.

This programme focuses upon quality training for gifted young performers from anywhere in the world. Internationally unique as an Honours degree – the first of its kind in Asia – it is designed to prepare students for professional careers in musicals, plays, cabaret, film, and television. Graduates are employed in the region, including the West End, and in Europe as well as North America.

Contemporary musical theatre demands that all performers can sing, dance, and act with equal skill – a ‘triple threat’. This programme trains such future professionals in these disciplines and gives you a rich historical and cultural context from which to interpret and create. In addition to classes and workshops, you are continually involved in realising a variety of partially- and fully-staged theatre productions, in a range of performance venues. These are led by world-class professional directors, music directors, and choreographers.

Level 1 sets the foundation for both physical and intellectual learning. You will integrate technical work into a performance, through the concepts of individuality and authenticity. Level 2 builds on acquired skills and moves to more challenging theory and practice. You will analyse the external and internal details of character and build a repertoire suited to your own voice. Level 3 performance classes are followed by a detailed rehearsal process to support a rigorous production programme. A series of lectures provides important management tools for a future career in the arts.

THEATRE+PERFORMANCEDuration: 3 Years Award: BA(Hons) Theatre and Performance

This programme is one of very few undergraduate programmes that offer a comprehensive grounding in all the elements essential to the development of creative leaders in the theatre and entertainment industry. It is catered for those who do not want to be on stage, backstage, or work in theatre administration.

There are five career roles offered as programme specialisms: Director, Playwright, Dramaturge, Theatre Critic, and Drama Facilitator. These all require the same wide understanding of history, culture, performance, dramatic structure, and more. For most of the programme, you are required to learn the procedures and terminology used in all five possible career paths. Mastering any one of these roles is not expected, but this exposure allows you to find your strengths, address your weaknesses, and develop your special interests.

At every stage, you are encouraged to direct, interact, and collaborate with fellow programme members and with students from other Performing Arts programmes, as LASALLE believes in collaboration and the importance of all contributing voices in the theatre-making process.

You will be assigned to key roles on faculty productions, and will collaborate with fellow students and staff on a performance event. You will also have internships and industrial attachments as an assistant to professionals. In the final year, you can select a particular career path and grow specialist skills through personalised guidance from dedicated theatre professionals. Upon graduation, you will possess a substantial portfolio of realised work and paper projects, be employable in the performing arts industry and adequately equipped with the ability to initiate your own productions.

Level 1 introduces a range of key performance techniques and genres, covering a broad spectrum of theatre and performance. At Level 2, the range and scope of practice increases along with depth of selected practices. You will go through workshop and practical lessons in traditional art forms alongside techniques of contemporary performance, plus industrial attachments to a local theatre company, or a residential artist/group in the college. At Level 3, you learn about the practical, theoretical, and intellectual basis for intercultural practices and independent work. You are also responsible for the submission of a thesis assignment that critically traces and assesses the final year specialist project.

Career Paths: Director, Playwright, Dramaturge, Theatre Critic, Drama Facilitator

Related Careers: Stage Director, Assistant/Associate Director, Literary Manager, Artistic Director, Producer

Teaching Methods: You will learn through a mix of lectures, seminars, masterclasses, tutorials, practical presentations, training workshops, and practical studio sessions.

ARTS MANAGEMENTDuration: 3 Years Award: BA(Hons) Arts Management

Arts Management is an emerging profession that will increasingly shape the practice and consumption of the arts. Singapore, with its burgeoning government-led arts infrastructure, is the ideal setting for the education and training of the future arts manager or administrator. LASALLE Arts Management graduates, informed by current practice, economics theory, and cultural understanding, will become leaders in their field both in the region and beyond.

The Arts Management programme is both rigorous and innovative, with a distinctive focus on practice, research, business, and cultural history. You will receive comprehensive exposure to art, dance, music, and theatre, thus gaining the skills to excel as an arts manager. Ultimately, you will be able to utilise social responsibility and entrepreneurial strategies in managing creative output, while merging art with business and policy know-how.

The programme provides an interdisciplinary curriculum focused on imparting knowledge and understanding about the artistic and business environments of the creative and cultural industries. To this end, studies will centre around four key clusters: History and Contextual Studies, Business of the Creative Enterprise, Professional Practice (Visual and Performing Arts Management Practice), and Research and Communications Skills. Emphasis is also placed on personal motivation and development of character.

Level 1 establishes the programme’s methodological and practical base, presenting the different disciplines and theoretical approaches needed for the study of arts management, including the basics of marketing, finance, and human resource. Level 2 expands on this

knowledge base with studies on aesthetics, art theory, contemporary critical theory, and analysis. Enterprise teaching commences with more advanced modules on leadership, accounting, and artist management, while the practice-based methodology is further enhanced with the conceptualising and organising of visual arts exhibitions and performing arts events under the i-AM Festival – the annual arts festival for social causes. Level 3 continues your development, translating skills, techniques, and an understanding of arts management into increasingly professional terms. A critical element at this level is an internship with an arts organisation, where you can gain practical industry experience.

Career Paths: Arts Administrator/Manager

Related Careers: Writer or Critic, Business Development Manager, Marketing/Public Relations Manager, Assistant Curator, Exhibition Manager, Event/Festival Producer, Programming Manager, Sponsorship Manager, Theatre Manager

Teaching Methods: You will learn through lectures, workshops, tutorials, seminars, local and overseas internships, and live projects. There will be regular guest lectures by industry practitioners and international visiting professors. You will participate in class presentations, complete written assignments, and put together a research project.

“The BA(Hons) Arts Management Programme at LASALLE is unique in my experience. While there may be similar programs in the field, it is the only one I know which is, essentially, a conservatory program for cultural management. Students devote their entire three-year study to the theory and practice of arts administration. The depth of training available in such a curriculum is not possible in liberal arts degree programs.” Doug Borwick, President of Association of Arts Administration Educators Association (2010 to 2012); Director, Not-for-Profit Management and Arts Management Programs from 1985 to 2012 at Salem, North Carolina, USA

Diploma in Technical and Production ManagementTechnical and Production Management deals with all the many and varied backstage roles and careers that make live performances possible. The people managing the technical aspects – Lights, Sound and Audio-Visual technology – all collaborate with performers, directors, designers, and composers, all in the same event – together with those who are managing people, managing time, and managing finances. Such skills are transferable and can be used in many careers.

This programme seeks imaginative, enthusiastic and inventive people who love theatre and live performance - but don’t want to be in front of the audience. We also seek those who love working with all the new technology, equipment and machinery involved in making a ‘show’ – from small intimate galleries to huge colourful productions like The Lion King.

Some of you like to draw, some of you like to write, some of you prefer to make a sound tape, a power-point or a collage of images. We want to know your ideas and your ambitions, what you enjoy in the Performing Arts – and we want to know what areas you are most interested in exploring. To help us get to know you and your ideas, you are invited to submit a project that manifests as many aspects as you wish, related to a story or play that you know well.

Project: Choose from either a Folk Story, a Legend or a Fairy Tale. (for example: Chang Er, Puteri Gunung Ledang or Cinderella. Something that has a story (the narrative or plot) some characters (the roles played by actors), and some meaning (theme or ‘content’). Think about how you would like to see your version of this on stage, and start to collect some ‘show and tell’ items – for example, notes, pictures, and music. (For ideas and examples, please see over page).

Your collection (or portfolio) might be a series of scrap books, a sketchbook, notes and lists, extracts from review and articles, power-point presentations, drawings, paintings, photocopies, newspaper/magazine tear-sheets, and/or DVD, sound bites, computerised graphics etc.

Interview: • Youmightliketopreparesomenotesforyourself–

to read from, or as talking points.

• Ifyouhavedrawings,photosorprogrammesfromyour previous productions do bring these materials to the interview.

• Bringyourprojecttotheinterviewandshareallyourideas with us – as if we are producers or sponsors that you want to persuade to invest money in your ‘show’.


• Wewillaskyousomequestionsaboutyourproject.

• WewillaskyouaboutyourinterestintheTechnicaland Managerial aspects of Production, and what areas of work attract you.

• YoucanaskusanyquestionsabouttheProgrammeand its subjects, about the Theatre School, or the College.

Don’t be nervous. We are here to know you better.

Try to enjoy yourself: it’s fun sharing ideas about theatre.

We might offer you a place immediately. We might ask for you to prepare more material, or set you a specific task. Whatever we do, it will be an attempt to understand and help you.

Ideas and examples of what you might like to include in your project - the story of your choice:

• Draw,paintorcollectsomeimagesthatshowthedifferent settings or scenery – perhaps show how these ‘scenes’ might appear with different lighting, with different atmospheres, in daylight or at midnight – whatever the story needs.

• Gothroughthestoryandmakelistsofanyfurnitureand props that the scenes might need – then draw or copy or cut out images of the most important props or special machinery and special effects.

• Considerallthecharactersinthestoryandselectsomeofthemostimportant;thenmakesomenotesabout their main qualities, their age, their ambitions, etc. Draw, collect photographs, cut out magazines, of what you think the story will look like. Perhaps you might like also to cast some of these roles with actors you know.

• Thinkaboutthemeaningofthestory.Whatisthestory about? What ‘message’ might the story contain? For example: is it about responsibility to self, to love, to family, to country? Is Cinderella about rivalry among sisters? Or is it about goodness being rewarded? Does your story still have meaning today? Write some statements about what you would like to convey to an audience.

• Ifyouhaveaspecialinterest,seethestorythroughwhat you love – if you love sound effects, what noises or music can you showcase? Can you surround the audience with speakers? If you love lighting, then imagine the colours, moving lights, and special effects. If you are the Stage Manager imagine controlling the rehearsal schedules for all the actors, dancers, singers and costume changes, and calling the cues and controlling all the effects yourself. You may want to make all the costumes, or design the sets or props. You can explore you own passion in this project and perhaps focus on and feature what you love best.
