Hi! My name is Felicia and I’m a final year Sociology student from NTU. Thank you for your interest in participating in this study.

The present study aims to explore the role of theatre in Singaporean civil society, with a focus on conversations surrounding LGBTQ+ rights and issues. Specifically, the study aims to understand how theatrical productions in Singapore may act as a site for negotiation of social values and public perceptions with regards to the rights of LGBTQ+ persons locally.

Participants will be interviewed on their experiences with local theatrical productions which cover LGBTQ+ themes. The interviews will be audio and/or video recorded and may be conducted in-person or via Zoom depending on the participant’s preference. The interview will take approximately 60-90 minutes.
