Oliver Chong
Theatre Practitioner/Puppeteer
Oliver Chong is an actor’s actor. I have enjoyed watching him on stage many times; his personal monologue on researching his family history, Roots (2012), won him awards. It is lovely how he has learned the acting language, yet his character on stage is straightforward and believable. Oliver is now the artistic director of The Finger Players for a period.
Ngiap Heng takes all the light rays bouncing around
And uses his passion to redirect them to a single point
Creating a sharp image
On a piece of everyone’s hearts
When all of those light rays meet back together
A shooting party ensues
And Drama Mamas convene
To celebrate years of friendship
