arts n soccer meet! S'pore Arts Fest n World Cup

it's Arts Fest again!
but the only thing i managed to catch so ffar was this at Raffles City yesterday.tot it was very creative in fusing art n the biggest current event- WORLD CUP 2006.
they used the space at the crossing from Raffles City to Chjmes/ Bras Basar as the soccer arena. any1 walking across the area marked out fr 6-7.30pm will be part of the 'soccer game' which is aired on the big screen inside Raffles City. pretty interesting except that most people outside didn;t have a slighest clue wat s happening and the people watching the 'game' inside didn;t know where the action is taking place. it would have been better if the screen n the 'soccer arena' was the same place ( as shown in the promo pic). i actually was camera shy! hee. moved away wen the camera was on me. well, do check out the Art fest outreach performances and those at the Esplanade's outdoor theatre!

the below was taken fr the arts fest site on the soccer thingy: http://www.singaporeartsfest.com/Outreach/special_events.htm

What do you get when you combine unsuspecting passers-by, deft video editing and the world’s most popular sport? Well, if you’re lucky, a scored goal ... but if not, loads of fun and laughs!
Catch World Cup fever at the Festival with this multimedia street theatre performance and fulfil your fantasies of becoming a football star instantly! Hear the crowd roar as you pass the ‘ball’ or make a crunching tackle, avoid getting a red card ... or go straight for the goal! Street soccer meets impromptu comedy with ‘live’ commentaries. This is one soccer match you don’t want to miss...
Look out for guest appearance by S.League footballers Lionel Lewis, John Wilkinson and Jonathan Angelucci.
