10 Things To Do In Singapore: 22 to 29 May

Need help planning your calendar? Well, if you want something to do that's a little out of the ordinary, here are 10 things you can check out over the next week...

Noli Timere

Why you should go: This is the first time a performance like this has been staged here. A collab between choreographer Rebecca Lazier and renowned sculptor Janet Echelman, this show, as part of the Singapore International Festival of Arts (SIFA), will feature performers up to 25 feet in the air, in a suspended Echelman sculpture. This will make anybody’s Insta or TT day.

PS: There will be a talk, The Body as Sensing Technology: Creating Noli Timere, by Rebecca, on the creation of this piece on 27 May, 3pm.

22 to 30 May, various times, Nexus, Punggol Digital District (Punggol Coast). Get more info more here

Block Party

Why you should go: It’s been called the biggest Gen Z party in Singapore! For one day only, the stadium at Our Tampines Hub will be transformed into, yes, you guessed it, a block party. Expect treats from the likes of Sweet Cheeks, Pralet and Rumifolks to satiate your tummy. Plus, you can take part in activities like street chess, Instax photobooth, and basketball, as well as pick up merch like vinyl, stickers and more. It’s free summore.

23 May, Our Tampines Hub field. 

Arus

Why you should go: It’s dance like you’ve never seen it before. This performance from NUS Dance Blast – the largest street dance group in NUS – is inspired by stories of the Orang Laut. Choreographed by Ahmad Kamil, it explores, through movement, the “quiet forces that pull us toward or away from where we belong”. It’s one of the performances in this year’s Singapore International Arts Festival, and it’s free!

23 and 24 May, 8pm, Wayang Stage @ Empress Lawn. Get more info here

SFS Somerset Movie Screenings

Why you should go: You get to watch classic films and documentaries that are arguably more interesting than The Mandalorian & Grogu this weekend. Presented by the Singapore Film Society, catch  John Travolta classics Saturday Night Fever and Grease, as well as acclaimed documentaries Itam: The Sun Bear and Miraculous Leaf; and the feature film, The Old Man And His Car, which was part of the Official Selection at the 2025 Tokyo International film festival.
