W!LD RICE was founded in 2000 by Ivan Heng and is recognised as one of Singapore’s leading professional theatre companies.

Description

The company takes its inspiration from the multicultural societies that make up Singapore and modern Asia, celebrating their diverse cultures and performance styles.

W!LD RICE’s creative work is first and foremost a celebration of Singapore talent. By producing and touring "glocal" productions that are distinctively local in flavour and yet universal in vision and concerns, the company creates shared experiences for audiences in Singapore and around the World.

W!LD RICE’s programming for the main stage includes:

*New and original works
*New productions of the Singapore repertoire
*New interpretations of the World’s Classics

The company also makes contributions to the wider community through its following divisions:

*Chilli Padi, the Youth & Education division, which reaches out to school audiences
*First Stage, which nurtures young talents from the ages of 5 to 16
*Young & W!LD, which identifies and develops aspiring theatre professionals

Mission

W!LD RICE is committed to touring its shows internationally to raise the profile of Singapore theatre, to create an international awareness of its unique productions, and to engage its artists and collaborators in creative dialogues with the international arts community.
