How Relevant Is The Arts Scene To The People in Your Country
How Relevant Is The Arts Scene To The People in Your Country
surprising was the high aesthetic levels and intricacy of each of the warriors, like
how each of them has a different facial expression. Exhibitions like this engage
the people as they are awesome and museum goers get a rare opportunity to
get a first-hand experience viewing these overwhelming structures, thus
educating them more on the history of China.
Furthermore in this day and age, the world is now more interconnected and
people are curious to know what is happening in different parts of the world.
Therefore, the government also brings in international acts to garner the interest
of the public in the arts and expose them to its various forms. With the opening
of the Marina Bay Sands, Singaporeans now get to enjoy world-renowned
productions like The Lion King Musical, Thriller, Cirque Eloize and the music of
Andrew Floyd Webber. These performances are eye openers and stir the publics
interests, making them enjoy the different forms of art, be it a musical or a
theatrical circus. In addition, even if our preference is not watching musicals, we
are not left out too, as more and more international pop idols, be it Taylor Swift,
Justin Bieber or even K-pop idols, are coming to this little red dot for concert
tours. These concerts are also brought in to cater mainly to the tastes of
teenagers, who never fail to buy the best seats available despite their
shockingly high prices. Be it high art or low art, the government has
meticulously brought in shows that cater to a wide variety of tastes and
preferences, thus making the arts relevant to the people in the country.
Nevertheless, the arts scene in Singapore may not always be relevant and
suitable for all audiences. Singapore still imposes strict censorship rules and
regulations on certain films and plays. Some of local director Royston Tans films
for example, have been deemed inappropriate because of controversial content
and thus not approved by the censorship committee in Singapore. Therefore,
when art works contain content that is sensitive and controversial which may
create unhappiness amongst racial and racial and religious groups and incite
unrest in society, they may be censored.
In conclusion, the arts scene in Singapore is booming and on the rise and no
matter what age, backgrounds, or inclinations one has, there is always
something for everyone to enjoy. The huge variety of art forms has thus made
the arts scene relevant to the people in Singapore, enriching, inspiring and
stimulating all at the same time.
