First Drop Change Foundation

Interwoven Threads, an Arts for Good initiative supported by the Singapore International Foundation, marked a joint effort between First Drop Change Foundation and Playback Theatre practitioners from Singapore. Involving performers from both nations, including individuals with disabilities, the project was designed to foster diversity in performance and enhance multicultural understanding. The collaborative endeavour aimed to weave together a rich tapestry of experiences, transcending boundaries and promoting inclusivity through the transformative power of theatre.

Crossing Over, a healthcare sector initiative, delves into discussions surrounding death, focusing on the conflicts and conversations during the end-of-life phase for the terminally ill. This project sheds light on the perspectives of various stakeholders, including medical staff, caregivers, patient counsellors, and family members. Through a series of small plays derived from the Bangalore Hospice Trust's published book (Karunashraya), it aims to bring awareness to essential yet often overlooked conversations. The interactive element, using Playback Theatre, engages the audience to process the intense emotions evoked by the plays.

"First Drop Dialogue," is a podcast initiative by First Drop Change Foundation that delves into subjects often overlooked in daily conversations. While topics like films, sports, and politics dominate discussions, essential issues like 'Disability and inclusion,' 'Mental health,' 'Menstrual hygiene,' 'Digital privacy,' and 'Sex education' remain in the shadows. This podcast aims to shed light on these socially relevant themes, initiating meaningful dialogue on subjects that deserve more attention and discussion in society.
