RBKD: Rui En and the cast of The Worlds Of Georgette Chen shared their experiences shooting the three-part docudrama, at a special preview screening and media conference held at the National Gallery Singapore on last Friday.

To play the artist, Rui En revealed that she not only picked up the basics of sketching and painting, but also had to learn to speak several lines of Malay and French, and even sing two Malay songs as well as a French lullaby in the series. This was stressful for her but she had help from her co-star Ralph Lee to vet her accuracy.

While Rui En played Georgette Chen in the docudrama, she said she is not artistically inclined and has never attempted a self-portrait before. “Painting my own self-portrait will be a nightmare! I can act, I can sing but when it comes to doing things with my hands, I am a complete failure. The best I could do for art, maybe, would be stick figures. So no, I would not attempt to paint a self-portrait,” said Rui En, before adding that she may take on art classes in the future when she is less busy.

The Worlds of Georgette Chen debuts 29 April 2015 on CNA, 8pm.
