Reminding Stories

ahh,,, very happy to blog again..


Recently, We are preparing our performance to Malaysian International Performing Art Festival in Kuala Lumpur this November. The Fest will be held on 22-26 November in Malaysia Tourism Center (Matic), and we will be there on November 21st. 

In this Fest we will perform our lovely 'Kisah-Kisah Yang Mengingatkan (KKYM)' or "Reminding Stories" written and directed by Iswadi Pratama. I'll tell little bit stories about the process of this performance. Actually we have performed it more than 3 times in some cities in Indonesia, but this is the first time for us to perform it abroad and my first time also go abroad. Very happy and excited join to this fest. 

Did u know that actually we don't have much time to do rehearsal, because we have the other event last week (Fest Teater Pelajar Nasional), so we just have 2 weeks to prepare this performance.In this limit time we try to practice well. There is a challenge in this new version of KKYM,some of the text in it are in english and some in bahasa, that's why we should remind some english text and try to express it. This is not new thing for me, because i've ever performed it in english when it performed in Ubud Writer and Reader Fest 2012, but that was only a poem that i should expressed, meanwhile in here I have 3 poems!! Woww!! some of friends like Laras and Desi are their first time play in english, we try to practice hardly for it.  

The other challenge is the member of our team are only 10 persons and the performer only 7 persons, they are me, Laras, Desi, Ka Budi, Baysa, Rarai, and Ceu Imas. This performance always play by more than 10 persons so we should try to deal with this performance that can be played by 7 persons. The other Kak Is as a director, Kak Deri as a soundman and Kak Jusmar as a lightingman.

Wish that our performance run well.... yeaaahh!!! 

Here i share some of our rehearsal pictures this week...
