June Tan, Producer, Five Arts Centre

EARS on Mumbai speaker June Tan is a biologist from Imperial College, London and a member of the performing arts collective Five Arts Centre (Malaysia). Since 1997, June has stage-managed, tour-managed, and produced numerous local and international co-productions. Her producing experience builds from a parallel experience in the corporate sector (1997-2008). She is interested in understanding systems and in facilitating space for difference, for discussion, and models for art making. This is seen in her initiation for platforms for emerging practitioners, and her programming for Kotak, an independent arts space in Kuala Lumpur. In addition, June has also written scripts for the stage, TV and several Malaysian feature films.
