Nearra Tng Yanxia
Nearra’s interest in technical theatre began when she started volunteering in 2010 in the lighting crew for Hope Church in Singapore. Her passion for production lighting led her to enrol in the Diploma in Technical and Production Management programme at LASALLE College of the Arts in 2018. Nearra has worked with many reputable local practitioners, such as Marc Greensmith, Tommy Wong, Elizabeth De Roza and Mariel Reyes as Props Maker, Costume Supervisor and Lighting Operator. She hopes to further her knowledge and skills in lighting and props and continue working in the theatre and events industry.
