These performances are in response to the exhibition, Dancing Alone (Don't Leave Me) by Susie Wong.Surrender by Sharda HarrisonThe body is a pathway to God. Our bodies have a delightful ability to communicate, to commune, to illustrate, to surrender, to liberate, to dance. Our bodies are ancient portals that connect us to the spirit world. A Chukchee proverb declares, “Woman is by nature a shaman.” Yet, we now live in a world where the female goddess whom resides in each of us, has been slighted, over-looked and even objectified. This short piece invokes the ultimate goddess in every woman and man, through text, ritual and movement. the butterfly effect by Sabrina Sngthe butterfly effect invites the watcher to the inner world of a Singaporean woman where she reveals her transformative process in search of herself.

She has exhibited works in figurative paintings, portraits, landscapes, drawings and installations. Central to her works then was the inquiry of the image/light as a medium that mediates between memory and loss, between documentation and nostalgia. Her installation work Trace, was exhibited at The Substation in 2008, which then travelled to Valentine Willie FA Gallery, KL; My Beautiful Indies, and After Image, was shown respectively at The Esplanade at the end of 2013, and at Space Cottonseed, Gillman Barracks, 2014.Her work contemplates mass media and the circulation of images and its voracious consumption, appropriating images or visual references for much of her work. In 2018, a video/projection installation Take Care of Me was part of the curated series Opening Day at Upper Serangoon Shopping Centre. As part of a collaborative-curated project Browsing Copy in 2019, she produced a work titled The Idea of the Coconut, that encapsulates her research on romantic tropes in media.She was artist-in-residence at the NTU-CCA (Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore) from June to November 2018.
