Fringe Highlights
Let’s Walk was first presented outside the campus of LASALLE-SIA College of Arts at Goodman Road on 9 December 1999 as part of the exhibition Ambulations at the campus’ Earl Lu Gallery. Five female audience-participants joined Amanda in the walk. The performance has since been travelled to Spain, Indonesia, Japan, Sweden and France.

In appreciation of the kind gesture offered by the Fringe and The Necessary Stage, I would like to join in the celebration with the following events as part of the M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2018.” —Amanda Heng
