Two arts institutions in Singapore are losing their long-time homes, while a third faces the possibility of losing much of its space. This raises important questions about structural, funding and policy issues in Singapore's arts scene.
The Intercultural Theatre Institute (ITI), a 20-year-old academy specialising in training actors in contemporary and classical Asian theatre techniques, will vacate its 10,000 sq ft venue by the end of the year. Emily Hill, a conservation bungalow owned by the Singapore Land Authority, has been the school's home since 2007.
