About MPP
Overview of Your MPP Journey
Inspiring Portfolio
Stories Come Alive in Live Performance
In 2022, MPP final-year students collaborated with the P7:1SMA dance company and local Malay spoken word artist Asnida Daud to present a live performance showcase to more than 80 guests. Titled “Lautan,” which means “ocean” in the Malay language, the performance fused dramatic dreamscapes created by projection mapping techniques with dance and poetry to celebrate the history of Singapore’s Indigenous Orang Laut community.
As part of the Graduation Showcase 2025, MPP students produced a short theatre piece titled “It’s Hamlet Lah!” that adapted the famous Shakespearean play to a local context. Under the guidance of lighting designer Emanorwatty Saleh, the student conceptualised the scenic design and technically set up the show in all aspects, including set building, costume making, lighting, and sound support during the production.
Crossing Borders, Understanding Cultures
For the 2025 Asian Youth Theatre Festival Residency in Vietnam, MPP students Ahmad Munzir and Eugene Aw supported production operations and management from pre-planning to post-residency. Immersed in a vibrant Southeast Asian arts scene, they gained first-hand exposure to regional practices while collaborating with young artists from diverse Asian countries, strengthening their technical skills and cultural perspectives.
Enlivening NDP 2023 Through Animation
Final-year MPP student Hussein Haiqal Riduan took part in the nation’s biggest celebration as an animator in the NDP multimedia committee. He worked with directors to produce the animated show for the live audience at the Padang!
Recreating Landmarks
For their final-year capstone project, MPP students partnered the National Heritage Board to project their work onto the Stamford Court Clock Tower during the 2022 Singapore Night Festival. Thousands of visitors viewed their pop art-style projections, which showcased historical landmarks and cultural milestones.
