THE SPACE
THE TRAINING SPACE
The space at Pulau Ubin -- an abandoned Zen temple -- is unique to the kind of performer training sought after by Theatre OX because it is immersed in nature, stripped down, and provided a different environment from the urban mainland Singapore. The effect of training in a natural terrain awakened the actor's senses.
