Loh Kok Man is a theatre director, actor, lighting designer, stage designer, and an experienced theatre acting coach. In 2005, he founded the Pentas Project Theatre Production, a team dedicated to fostering multidisciplinary artistic exchanges and platforms. He is adept at integrating multiple elements of theatre - particularly through the interaction of visuals, lighting, sound, physicality, and dramatic structure of theatre - to enrich the exploration of theatre’s visual space and time. He deeply values cross-disciplinary and -cultural collaborations, which bring mutual nourishment through the exchanges facilitated, driving the pursuit of reaching new creative heights progressively in each discipline. His early works stemmed from a strong postmodern experimental approach, using poetic logic to develop the potential of movement and space. He later shifted towards text-based works, delving into the intersections of diverse cultures, extracting their essences, beginning his journey to create a unique contemporary theatre aesthetic.
