About The Performer's Body Series Central Arts Library’s “The Performer’s Body” is designed for participants with little to no performing experience, providing them with essential skills, and understanding of their body’s potential. This workshop series focuses on fundamental techniques, gradually building participants performing vocabulary. By exploring the basics of physicality and expression, “The Performer’s Body” equips participants with a foundation to begin their artistic journey.

It happened to be Christmas Wonderland, and there were so many people. Everyone was happy and it was very lively. The night view was really beautiful. There&#39;s Jurassic Park next door in the Cloud Forest, which reminded me of the movie. This place is great to explore, and the transportation is very convenient.

A fantastic zoo experience! Visiting all four parks in one day is just right. The night zoo experience is also very unique. Overall, highly recommended, especially for families with children.

Night Safari

Worth the ticket, a little dark when walking the traila so those with difficulties seeing at night may need to bring a torch. The amphitheater show is just soso, but nice introduction to some of the nocturnal animals. Highlight is the train ride - somehow almost all the animals were active and within visible distance from the train. Food prices are ok, just slightly higher than outside. Staff are warm and helpful. Will recommend to anyone who is looking for a wholesome activity at night.

I tried the luge in Sentosa, my first time doing this before in New Zealand. It&#39;s very easy to operate, you can learn it in no time, even kids can easily pick it up. As you slide down the curves, you can control your speed, fast or slow as you like, and the wind on your face feels wonderful. The scenery along the way is also beautiful, especially at dusk, the sunset over the sea and greenery is so relaxing. The experience of taking the cable car back was also fantastic, a gentle ascent with expansive views, it was very calming.
