institutions for contemporary intercultural
study of diverse artistic traditions;

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 reective practitioners in the
industry.
Research by Practice:
A 21st Century Approach
All 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 Singapores
arts scene, attest to the institutions 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 rst-
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.

signing ceremony between LASALLE College of the
Arts and Goldsmiths College, University of London,

LASALLE PROSPECTUS
007
In the context of the fast growing economic, political
and cultural importance of Asia, there is a need
to redene 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 LASALLEs 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
providing continuous support for faculty in their
professional practice, ranging from professional
leave for the realisation of particular projects
to nancial assistance of PhD studies,
allocating of funds for art-related research deemed
to strengthen LASALLEs reputation and recognition
as an arts institution of international standing, and
establishing strong links between tertiary education
and 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 LASALLEs 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 signicant role in Singapore for
practice-led research in visual and performing arts,
as well as in arts education in a global culture.

bits and playfully paired with ribbon skirts and
complemented by black and white tribal prints.

The eighth art, lm, 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 nd their own voice through the art of
cinematic storytelling.

international lm community, which seeks reective
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 lms, 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 lm,
especially in the area of storytelling, in all the lm
related disciplines, from screenwriting, directing, and
producing to cinematography, sound, and editing.
Level 1 establishes the groundwork of lmmaking and

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 lm
practice further, through various exercises and a short
lm project. Central to Level 3 are the complex demands
of professional lmmaking. Work undertaken in the nal
year combines your developed artistic approach and
technical skills, culminating in a Thesis Film where you
specialise in a discipline.

I feel that the most important thing Ive learnt from
The Puttnam School of Film is how to collaborate
with and appreciate other creative individuals
during the production of a lm. Being ethical,
respectful, and creatively open to your fellow

also ensuring ones own artistic integrity remains
is something I strive for.

event together with those who are managing people,
managing time, and managing nances. 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 dont 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:
You might like to prepare some notes for yourself
to read from, or as talking points.
If you have drawings, photos or programmes from
your previous productions do bring these materials
to the interview.
Bring your project to the interview and share all your
ideas with us as if we are producers or sponsors
that you want to persuade to invest money in your
show.
We will ask you some questions about your project.
We will ask you about your interest in the Technical
and Managerial aspects of Production, and what areas
of work attract you.
You can ask us any questions about the Programme
and its subjects, about the Theatre School, or the
College.
Dont be nervous. We are here to know you better.
Try to enjoy yourself: its 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 specic 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, paint or collect some images that show the
different 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.
Go through the story and make lists of any furniture
and 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.
Consider all the characters in the story and select
some of the most important; then make some notes
about 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.
Think about the meaning of the story. What is the
story 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.
If you have a special interest, see the story through
what 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.
