REUBEN SU can be found putting on many different hats as the Company Manager of Creatives Inspirit. He continues to build on his expertise in videography, design and digital marketing to help enterprises unlock their visions and to capture their desired audience with powerful creative content. He is a strong advocate for the arts and uses his event management know-how to coordinate arts-related events for the community.

In his spare time, he speaks Spanglish and does Zumba with Shanice, who is possibly his best takeaway from college. He is also frequently seen on Facebook and Instagram but draws the line at Twitter. 

LESHA MANSUKHANI is pursuing her third year of her liberal arts education at Yale-NUS college with a major in Art and Humanities focusing on theatre and film. She is currently interning at Pangdemonium with the production team for her summer break whilst working on this project. She also was a assistant stage manager for the ’The Rishi and Sharul Show’ at Complete Communicators. In her short college life thus far, she has managed three theatre productions and produced three short films. She is very excited to aid Shanice Nicole Stanislaus  alongside Sonia Kaur to produce this stellar production and take it to greater heights.

SONIA KAUR is a third-year student at Yale-NUS College, with a major in Environmental Studies. When she’s not busy hugging trees, she tries to dabble in theatre and film productions. She only started exploring her creative side in university, and since has stage-managed 2 productions and has been an artistic director for 2 short films. She is perpetually in adoration for Shanice and Lesha, and cannot wait to see how La Mariposa Borracha evolves and captivates audiences yet again!

AMI FIRDAUS is irrevocably in love with the world. He is relatively new to theatre and dance, having only started to dabble in both in his first year of college at Yale-NUS. His first performance was under the direction of Creatives Inspirit's very own founder and director, Shanice Nicole Stanislaus, for an experimental piece titled (there's nothing here). Ami was one of the main cast members in Shanice Stanislaus' latest work, La Mariposa Borracha, clowning around and dancing the night away as El Perro Loco. Ami mainly enjoys hip-hop and contemporary styles of dance, and tries to incorporate both in his work with Shanice. 

Outside of theatre and dance, Ami is an avid sportsman, having trained in a wide range of sports such as Hockey, Tchoukball, Floorball and Fencing. To him, sports is beyond physical fitness and sports skills; sports form a strong part of his coping mechanism towards being mentally healthy.

Ami also enjoys the process of research and confronting the big questions in society, having done research in psychosocial recovery in post-disaster society and political ecology of palm oil sustainability. He is also currently involved as a researcher for a National Geographic Young Explorer's film on mangrove conservation in Singapore's Pulau Ubin, currently being produced by Rachel Quek Siew Yean. He is particularly passionate in sharing the importance of understanding what sustainability means through an anthropological lens.

ZIYAD BAGHARIB is an actor and theatre-maker. He first started acting at the age of 17, during his time in Raffles Players. Since then, he has acted in various Singaporean productions, ranging from original Malay pieces such as Lockdown by Hatch Theatrics to classic local staples such as Those Who Can't, Teach by Yellow Chair Productions. He and his friends also started up the youth collective Couch Theatre, which between 2013 and 2016 staged plays such as The Pillowman by Martin McDonagh and The Effect by Lucy Prebble, which he acted in and directed. During his time in Yale-NUS College, he was actively involved in its theatre scene, taking on such roles as the titular role of Hamlet and the lead role of Finch in Overtime: An Original Musical.

His keen interests in religion, anthropology, music and theatre have intersected in wonderfully rewarding ways, leading him to take on all sorts of personal, ethnographic and artistic projects - from living with Salafi Muslims in Perlis, to frequenting illegal gambling dens in Geylang, to documenting Batak songs of Lake Toba, to filming the 'underground' Kuda Kepang scene in Singapore. He hopes that his curiosity and desire to connect with people can infect others to desire the same.

He firmly believes in the values of teamwork, communication and above all else: professionalism.

Jon Tan is a Director and Cinematographer who believes those job titles make him sound far more important than he actually is.

He also believes the world needs more working artists in it, so creative children have living proof that their dreams can come true. Jon has shot for clients such as VICE, Grab and the National Arts Council. His fashion film, That Hat! was an official selection at the 2020 Athens Fashion Film Festival, 2020 Fargo Film Festival and the 2020 Madrid MICRO Film Festival.

He also runs the boutique video production company, ROTOTORO.

Again, all of this makes him sound more important than he actually is. Jon is a very ordinary man who enjoys meowing at cats and waving at babies.
