Competency 2: Related Blog

I used http://blogsearch.google.com/ to search for blogs with keywords "theatre" and "stage." The selected blog, About library@esplanade is supported by the National Library Board of Singapore.


The excerpt is chosen from the About library@esplanade page: http://slv.vic.gov.au/about/news/latest/040708.html?rss_news

About library@esplanade

Opened in 13 September 2002, the library@esplanade is Singapore’s first thematic library that offers information resources and services on the performing arts. It is also one of the few libraries in the world to be co-located within an arts complex.

Serving as a one-stop information and knowledge hub for the performing arts, the library@esplanade is devoted to the study and the appreciation of music, dance, theatre, and film. The library’s mix of reference and lending collections, in print and audio-visual formats, facilitates the study and the enjoyment of the performing arts, complemented with programmes, performances, and exhibitions hosted by the library.

Theatre Village

The collection in the Theatre Village holds a strong selection of contemporary play scripts with books covering from the technical aspects to the theoretical study of theatre. The traditions and various forms of theatre are brought to life through the physical displays in the exhibition cases.


I chose this site because it brings into actuality my idea of blending theatre and libraries.
