Short Films
Celine Ng
Celine is a nineteen year-old student with lots of love for theatre. Over the years, she has tried her hand at different aspects of theatre-making through school productions and the SRT Young Co in a range of capacities like acting, directing, scriptwriting, and lighting.
She has enjoyed every bit of the adventure so far and hopes to develop her craft in the years to come. Having spent quite a lot of time admiring Human+ from a distance, she is excited and privileged to have finally sidled her way into its film arm.
This is also her first time ever acting infront of a camera so she is glad that she is working with friends new and old who have already taught her much with their infinite patience! She considers herself extremely lucky to be part of this production and hopes the audience will enjoy it thoroughly.
Farah Aishah
Like most of us, Farah began life as a baby. However, unlike most of us, her youthful glow continues to shine through her demeanour in a manner reminiscent of infants everywhere. This is true despite being endowed with Darth Vader's voice, which polite friends describe as a "husky alto". In her young schooling days, she was President of the Meridian Junior College English Drama Club.
Her most recent acting credits include SRT's Young Company's "The Tempest", "The Caucasian Chalk Circle" and "The Roses of Eyam" as well as Buds Youth Theatre’s “From Scratch”. In her spare time, Farah delights in screeching show tunes from the shower, having spontaneous late-night suppers with friends and going on long drives. Farah’s secret dark fantasy is to make strangers cry in the dark.
Joel Tan
Recently graduated from SRT's Young Company, Joel is eager to be involved in the scene more than ever. Human+ to Joel is an innovative approach towards Theatre as it is his virgin experience with the Sales & Marketing component. Joel secretly admires Khai for his efforts in turning his vision into reality, and thanks Khai for the wonderful working experience.
Credits: Roses of Eyam (SRT), Caucasian Chalk Circle (SRT), Chinglish (Pangdemonium)
Joel is extremely thankful and stoked to be working with talents from his Young Company, as well as some of the major players in the scene.
Benjamin Koh
Benjamin is currently in his final year at NAFA doing a Diploma in Theatre. He is also part of The Young Company, the youth wing of SRT.
His previous works include Kip in Raised in Captivity, Son in Fugitives, Stepan Stepanovitch Tschubukov in A Marriage Proposal, Demetrius in A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Keeper in Richard II. He was also an ensemble member in The Young Company Graduation Showcase of Roses of Eyam in 2016.
Still forging his path in theatre, Benjamin enjoys exploring different art forms, aspects of theatre, and running front-of-houses for theatre shows. He hopes to one day be able to write his own play and have his own school for speech and drama.
Besides working out in his free time, Benjamin would also watch online dramas, learn popping and play video games. Conspiracy Theories and online articles contribute to his list of hobbies as well.
Benjamin is grateful to be a part of Human+ and hopes that it'll be a thrill of a ride for everyone.
