Randel will demonstrate the fun of taking a piece of ordinary paper and cutting and folding it into simple, yet amazingly detailed paper sculptures.

Calling all storytellers!
Let your voice be heard.
To all the people who are asking “Where can I tell my story?”, we’re here to give those stories a platform. It could be about your first date, your boss or even the traffic. Take to the stage and tell a story at Story Saloon!
We’ll get everything ready for you — the food & drinks, an impressive host to stir up the mood, a stage and microphone, and not forgetting a supportive audience. Bring all your friends because THEY will get to decide who’s going to be the next great storyteller of Singapore!
You will have 5 minutes to woo the audience. No reading or ranting please. Winners from each session will face off in a Grand Final on 26 March 2010. Attractive prizes and dining vouchers from timbré to be won!
