Proposal for the 2nd MFA course I deserted :|
About my 2nd MFA proposal at the amasoong blog:
This here is the proposal I submitted to Lasalle College of the Arts, Singapore for MFA Fine Arts. That was half a year back. I applied, got selected, bought the tickets, got the student visa.

I admired the musical achievement of Phou-oibi but as a dramatic production, it riled me. Will the Meitei theatrical practice make an effort to examine the politics of myth-making when it decides to invoke mythic versions of women for the umpteenth time? When will it allow itself to be aware of the problems inherent in employing the idiom of representing women as a symbol of nature,...

Do Not Go Into Advertising
“Advertising offers the creative person a bargain: You can use your creativity. Just not for yourself.
