Magdalena
(Singapore) took place from 9-15 July 2006, with the theme "Crossroads".
The intermingling of different performance practice and cultures
in the twenty-first century have resulted in the increasing potential,
relevance and necessity of dialogue between practitioners of different
disciplines and cultures, as well as between practitioners and audience.
Singapore, long viewed as a multicultural society situating itself
at a geographical, social and cultural crossroads between the East
and West, was an ideal and relevant location to host a festival
where this phenomenon could be investigated and negotiated.
The festival featured the following artists, workshops
and performances:
* Jill Greenhalgh (Wales)
