Lead Artist, Claire Teo
Claire Teo graduated from LASALLE College of the Arts’ Diploma in Performance in 2019, the first visually impaired person in Singapore to do so. Closely mentored by Artist-Educator and Disability Arts Specialist, Peter Sau, Teo saw the need for more communities to have access to arts education, and began developing and teaching drama curriculums for persons with diverse abilities. Teo is now the Academic Director of Talent Academy (a division of Singapore Raffles Music College), as well as a scriptwriter and director for PLAYInc Pte Ltd. In the long run, she hopes to work closely with her fellow disabled artists to advance the disability arts scene towards true inclusive practice, creating art with different communities that empowers and encourages awareness and social change.

Currently pursuing his Diploma in Community Development at Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Firdhaus is a 21-year-old who aspires to be a social worker in the future. His sound work sheds light on the process of grieving through the cherished memories of his late father. Firdaus seeks to understand and empathise with people of diverse communities, especially disabled communities, to develop innovative ways to elevate their burdens and provide access.

A student at Ahmad Ibrahim Secondary School, Desmond Toh has just completed his N-levels examinations. He approaches life with a sense of hope and determination, and dreams of developing a tuition programme for the constructive and effective learning of the visually impaired community, making education more accessible. His sound work depicts the strong bond he shares with his brother, through memories and fantasies of playing together.

Co-Creator: Cheyenne Phua
A recent graduate from the Business Administration course at ITE College, 19-year-old Cheyenne Phua has always dreamt of a career in the performing arts. Unseen: Inside Out kickstarted her learning journey in the arts by introducing her to the basic techniques to express herself through movement and voice. Her sound work addresses how society’s ignorance about disability has caused the lack of accessibility in many aspects of her life.
