Lidya Chrisfens is a fashion educator, designer, and researcher with two decades of industry and academic experience. She teaches fashion making at LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore, with a focus on creative pattern cutting, digital fashion, and sustainable design practices. Her pedagogical approach is grounded in critical making and experiential learning, encouraging students to work intuitively through the body, material, and space. With a Distinction in a Master’s in Art Pedagogy and Practice, Lidya continually explores new ways of teaching that connect process, emotion, and concept. Lidya’s research practice operates at the intersection of fashion, performance, and philosophy. Drawing from phenomenology, particularly notions of Atmospheric Space, Conceptual Space, and the embodied mind, her work explores how memory, emotion, proprioception, and material sensibility shape the act of making. She engages transdisciplinary approaches that merge fashion with performing arts, using these as a lens to understand the designer’s internal landscape. Her signature methodology, Blind-Draping, was developed in 2020 and has since gained international recognition for its ability to reframe how design can emerge through tactile perception rather than visual intent.

Marcus Foo is a choreographer, dance artist, and educator whose work centres on connection, fragility, and the textures of human experience. He holds a Master of Arts in Contemporary Dance with distinction from the University of Kent and has presented work internationally, including at the Seoul Performing Arts Festival, M1 CONTACT Contemporary Dance Festival, and Biennale des Danses des Seychelles. His choreography, such as Yours Usefully (2017) and Walk with me to the end/beginning (2022), integrates text, imagery, and listening-based tasks to explore identity, belonging, and impermanence. As an educator, Marcus has taught at LASALLE College of the Arts, Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, and School of the Arts, Singapore. His teaching emphasises listening as a technical and creative tool, encouraging dancers to refine clarity while staying responsive to sensation, space, and group dynamics. He is committed to nurturing artistry, self-awareness, and expressive growth in the studio.

Redwan Hamzah is an interdisciplinary artist, composer, and singer-songwriter exploring sound, performance, and technology. His work examines the vibrations that connect time, place, and people — expressed through sound, design, and movement, and guided by improvisation and composition. In 2025, he completed a year-long residency at the National Gallery Singapore, presenting three commissioned works—a tree through time, kami/kamu, and kita — that reconnected him with his Javanese roots, through experimental structures of sound and staging. He has composed for dance, theatre, and film, and performed widely across improvisatory, and popular music contexts. His debut album, Leaves and Children, was recently released in 2025.
