What is The Henderson Project?

The Henderson Project is Singapore’s newest platform for play and party. Making use of the industrial settings of Henderson Industrial Road, and curated by the team at theatre production company Dream Academy with artists who want to come out and play with a radical call to party. The excitement starts this February 2015 with two very different underground projects where music, art and film merge: Our Hobby Is Depeche Mode and The Revolution Will Not Be Televised. Staged on two consecutive Fridays - both Feb 6 and Feb 13 - these two projects are co-organised by creative consultancy, Present Purpose.
