Back in 2008, she poured that energy into stage production It’s My Life!, spending a year working with then-teenagers (today’s millennials) to capture their coming of age amid nascent social media channels.
“I still want to do something like It’s My Life! again,” she says. At her Joo Chiat home, where she lives with her 23-year-old daughter Shi-An and their cat Toastie, she marvels at the up-and-coming centennials. “I personally love looking at their creativity on TikTok; on Instagram. I love what they’re doing in the films I see on (online video content platforms) YouTube, Not Safe for TV and Viddsee. We have so many wonderful songwriters, all Singaporean, who are so, so good.”
She’s working on a possible stage production here next year. And, over a pandemic that stalled live performances, she kept a packed schedule, commuting between Singapore, Los Angeles and Vancouver as a regular on The CW’s action-adventure television series Kung Fu (2021), now available on HBO Max.
