About Huddle Puddle
The mystery flavour of CITRUS fest 2026, Huddle Puddle is a new festival programme co-facilitated by dance artist & educator Faye Lim and somatic therapist & artist Teo Xiao Ting. Since April, four groups of arts workers and practitioners have gathered to pilot projects addressing gaps in care practices within the arts. In this inaugural edition, the participants are diving into topics such as arts production and management, accessibility practices, care and intimacy coordination, and how to co-dream the future of one’s arts practice. At CITRUS fest, they will be sharing their ideas and discoveries thus far.
