KUALA LUMPUR: The year ends on a high note for performing arts students at Taylor’s University through a spectacle of identity and culture.
This was witnessed through the ‘5:4:3:2:1’ stage production by the Conservatory of Performing Arts, offered by Taylor’s University in collaboration with The Actor’s Studio (TUTAS).
The impressive stage that ran from December 9 to 11 at The Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (klpac) was directed by five TUTAS students as part of their Production Practicum module, which is a prerequisite for them to graduate.
Adjunct Professor Joe Hasham OAM noted that the programme had grown over the years since its establishment in 2019, now with over 50 students learning from it.
“As the only Performing Arts Conservatory Degree Programme in Malaysia, it is attracting talent from all over the world such as Korea, Iran, China and Indonesia,” he said.
Adjunct Professor Datuk Faridah Merican added that the ‘5:4:3:2:1’ production was TUTAS’ “most diverse showcase yet”.
This was evident through the variety of dances and dramas featured, which has been in the works since September.
Among them was Korean native Kim Ki Hoo, who turned to his heritage in his stage of ‘The Sun and the Moon’ that is based on an age-old Korean folk tale of a single mother who encounters a ravenous tiger.
Iranian Abgharyan Afooshteh Reyhaneh also showcased his culture with a 19th century Persian dance, known as Baba Karam, that told stories of the working-class men of Iran.
Meanwhile, Lor Qian Hui’s black comedy of Peter Morris’ ‘Pancakes’ explored different themes of faith, belief, jealousy and selflessness.
This was followed by Nurin Ismail’s ‘Dollhouse’ performance, highlighting the struggles of fashion models as they search to find a balance between their private lives and public personas.
Entry into the TUTAS’ Bachelor of Performing Arts three-year Conservatory Degree Programme is by audition only, with its next slot of auditions in December.
With either a Performance Track or Technical Theatre Track to choose from, students have the opportunity to learn from award-winning lecturers with hands-on industry experience, along with access to klpac’s facilities.
