Ho views communication as one of the most important aspects
of artistic endeavour. The audience has the right to go ‘hah?’
if the piece is arty, farty, and totally impenetrable, in which
case the artist has no right to sulk.
Kevin has just graduated with a First Class honours degree
in Media and Communication from the University of Central
England. His adventures in this often falsely-glorified part
of the world have been published by the BBC website as a warning
to those who expect nothing but good food, great service,
rural charm and urban excitement from the country. He has
been involved in storytelling through several media such as
print, film and radio, and believes in making full use of
the medium to tell a story.
Kevin first started performance storytelling in Birmingham,
UK, when he took a floor spot at a storytelling event. Finding
the experience memorable and highly addictive, Kevin has developed
his skills and gone on to tell stories in both Britain as
well as Singapore. His most recent performance has been as
part of a group called Birmingham Voices, which toured the
West Midlands in May this year.
In Singapore, he has performed both in schools and public
venues, including the opening of the Library@Esplanade. Equally
comfortable in front of audiences of adults and children,
Kevin’s repertoire spans a broad range of stories; from
the dark and bizarre to the light-hearted and funny.
Kevin views storytelling as an enjoyable and important part
of education, and has conducted workshops for schools such
as St. Joseph’s Institution. He is also a regular feature
at the Ministry of Education’s Creative Arts Programme
camp for P5 students. |
