Dream Mural

Four years ago, Tay and Val sold everything they had, left their homes and careers in Singapore and embarked on a round-the-world journey to document and inspire dreams. Their mission: "One Dream Shared, Millions Inspired."

"We want communities to begin conversations about their neighbors' dreams, hopes, and aspirations. Through our adventures, through the dreams that have been shared with us and through us living our dreams, we want to show people that it is possible. It is possible to live your dreams, be sustainable and most importantly, become the person you always wanted to be." - Tay and Val

View the videos of previous #DreamsUnlimited events:

Their journey has brought them to 12 global destinations, meeting thousands of people and collecting a plethora of dreams on videos, photos and writings. Tay and Val have faced obstacles, been called unrealistic and lofty, but continued to look ahead and move forward on their journey even when their pockets and wallets were nearly empty.

"But with the help of humanity, we have continued to breathe life into this journey and tirelessly created ways to live our dreams of telling stories of love, life and hope." - Tay and Val

Committed to reaching all 50 States of the US; they're currently working to inspire others to pursue their passion and follow their dreams through a multi-media book, full length documentary, workshops and public speaking; but really, they want to create a global movement of dreams inspiring dreams... and YOU are invited to be part of it!

THE PERFORMANCE:

A 90 minute interactive multimedia storytelling presentation  sharing inspiration, hopes and dreams through films, photos, live-music, spoken word performances and traditional oral storytelling; presented by local and regional artists.

Translation services are available, please indicate language preference during ticket registration.

Our intention is to inspire the audience to discover their passions and empower them to build their dreams by sharing our own stories of challenges and triumphs in pursuit of our own dreams:
