The Actors Studio at Rooftop Lot 10, Nadi Baru Kuala Lumpur


Sebuah bandar tidak wajar kehilangan nyawanya. Jati diri budaya merupakan udara untuknya terus bernafas. Dengan terbinanya The Actors Studio at Rooftop Lot 10, segitiga emas Kuala Lumpur akan terus bernyawa. Itulah antara kata-kata yang diluahkan oleh Tan Sri Francis Yeoh, pemilik gergasi korporat YTL Corporations. “Bandaraya akan hilang jatidirinya jika budaya tidak disuburkan. Budayalah yang menjadi nafas untuk sesebuah bandaraya terus bernyawa.”

Selepas penutupan mengejut operasi di Bangsar Shopping Centre, The Actors Studio bernyawa kembali. Pada hari Sabtu lalu berlangsung Malam Gala Pembukaan “The Actors Studio at Rooftop Lot 10”.

Saya boleh meletakkannya sebagai sebuah lokasi yang paling strategik untuk sebuah teater. Memang telah lama saya impikan agar Kuala Lumpur memiliki pentas teaternya bukan di pinggir bandar tetapi sebaliknya di tengah-tengah bandar Kuala Lumpur.

The Actors Studio diasaskan pada April 1989 oleh pasangan suami isteri, Joe Hafsham dan Datuk Faridah Merican. Lokasi pertama syarikat teater paling berpengerah itu dibuka di Dataran Merdeka pada 1995.

Pasangan itu terus gigih membudayakan masyarakat setempat sehinggalah terbukanya lokasi mereka yang kedua iaitu di Bangsar pada 2001. Tidak henti di situ, mereka melebarkan sayap mereka ke utara dan cawangan The Actors Studio di buka di Pulau Pinang setahun kemudian.
Malangnya pada 10 Jun 2003, banjir besar memusnahkan cawangan Plaza Putra. Namun itu tidak mematahkan semangat Faridah dan Joe walaupun pelbagai dugaan yang mereka terima.

The Actors Studio tidak akan mati. Itulah janji Datuk Faridah Merican demi cintanya pada seni persembahan. Bermula semalam, The Actors Studio at Rooftop Lot 10 membuka pintu menerima pengunjung.


Lokasi asal The Actors Studio di Plaza Putra musnah apabila banjir melanda Dataran Merdeka pada 10 Jun 2003. Sementara cawangannya di Bangsar Shopping Centre pula ditutup pada 28 Februari lalu.

Walaupun diduga pelbagai musibah, namun selaku pengasas, Faridah dan suaminya Joe Hafsham percaya jenama The Actors Studio akan terus memperkasakan budaya kepada rakyat tempatan.

Segitiga emas Kuala Lumpur kini memiliki sebuah panggung teater yang pastinya akan menarik tumpuan pelancong untuk melihat sendiri budaya tempatan di depan mata mereka. Pelbagai hotel yang terdapat di situ pastinya dipenuhi pelancong yang bakal menjadi fokus utama untuk menjadi penonton di pentas itu.

Dicop sebagai “West End of Kuala Lumpur”, The Actors Studio at Rooftop Lot 10 dibuka secara percuma mulai 11 hingga 18 Oktober ini sebelum memulakan operasinya seperti biasa.

7th BOH Cameronian Arts Awards Nominees by Kakiseni

Majlis pengumuman calon untuk 7th BOH Cameronian Arts Awards berlangsung malam tadi di Bangsar. Seperti yang diinginkan oleh ramai penonton, teater arahan Jo Kukathas dan Zalfian Fuzi mendominasi pencalonan dengan 8 pencalonan. Naskhah nukilan Shahnon Shah itu akan dipentaskan kembali di KLPAC bulan April depan, sebulan sebelum majlis anugerah ini berlangsung.

Walaupun sedikit terkilan kerana P.Ramlee The Musical Season 2 tidak layak untuk dicalonkan, namun pencalonan AirCon sedikit sebanyak menghilangkan rasa terkilan itu. Tahniah untuk produksi AirCon.

Tari : LALAK

Tari : LALAK
Panggung Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur
2 hingga 4 Disember 2005
Jam 8.30 malam
LALAK adalah sebuah kolaborasi seni persembahan Teater Tari Kontemporari Malaysia yang tercetus antara Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur dengan Svarnabhumi Studio. Kolaborasi ini akan menampilkan sepuluh buah rekaan tari hasil ciptaan lima perekatari terkenal : Syed Mustapha - pemenang anugerah Cameronian Award untuk Best Choreography 2003 yang banyak menggali semangat Melayu dalam karyanya, Jasni Ahmad - calon anugerah Cameronian Award yang mengadopsi konsep tari kontemporari Jepun dalam tarian etnik Orang Asli, Hamid Chan – antara graduan awal program tari dari Akademi Seni Kebangsaan yang menjadikan etnik Sabah sebagai jatidiri dan identitinya, Junainah Long – antara Koreografer Muda Asia Pasifik, Taipei 2003 yang mengenegahkan bahasa tubuh seorang wanita sebagai dialognya dan Zulkifli Mohamad – antara 10 koreografer terpilih Istana Budaya-Emas Sepuluh 2004 yang mengambil konsep Main Peteri untuk menganalisa penyakit bangsanya. Lima koreografer ini akan menarikan sendiri lima karya solo mereka dan menampilkan lima koreografi yang mengenegahkan para penari dari Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur. LALAK adalah Arus Tradisi Tari Kontemporari Malaysia.

LALAK adalah sebuah nama yang diberikan untuk mewakili gabungan perasaan yang tersirat dalam diri kelima-lima seniman tari ini. LALAK memberi makna “Melaung Sekuat-kuat Hati”. LALAK adalah pantulan reaksi manusia terhadap dunia sekelilingnya, dunia yang mementingkan wang ringgit, harta dan pangkat, dunia hiburan di Malaysia yang hanya mementingkan hiburan semata-mata tanpa mengambilkira nilai-nilai seni, estetika, jati diri dan maruah bangsa, dan dunia yang mengagungkan nilai kebaratan. LALAK adalah sebuah gerakan melawan arus hiburan yang begitu deras dan bersifat sementara belaka. LALAK adalah sebuah pernyataan tentang pengaliran seni tradisi Malaysia baru yang bersifat kontemporari yang penuh makna serta pengajarannya. Seni tari kontemporari tak ubah seperti seni sastera yang bersifat visual dalam tiga dimensi. LALAK adalah suatu dialog yang menyoal jati diri Melayu dalam arus global serta mencabar seni tari teater serta seni visual, teks, bunyi dan gerak

Syed Mustapha Syed Yasin
Karya Solo: Keliru
Biar apa yang kau katakana
Terhadap diriku ini
Di sini ku masih berdiri
Menahan pahitnya
Sebelum kau kenal
Hati nuraniku
Awaslah katamu………..!!!

Karya Kumpulan: OM BAK
Ia datang dan pergi
Pergi tak kembali
Menjadi satu misteri
Tragedi menyayat hati
Peristiwa silam berlaku kini
Pun sampai berulang lagi
Ku panjatkan doa dari Illahi

Jasni A.Hamid
Karya Solo: Argo-Gede
Dalam perjalanan dari Jakarta ke Bandung,
Dari dalam ruang keretapi Argo-Gede
Mataku terpaku ke lereng-lereng bukit yang subur mengemas
Terkesan dengan keindahan,
Terkesan dengan pribumi Jawa berhuma

Karya Kumpulan: Episod Hanuman
Tubuh bagai kelonsong ditiup roh,
Di isi hati dengan dua rasa,
Yang kudus dan yang hodoh,
Keduanya saling mendominasi tiada toleransi,
Ada yang membunuh dan ada yang menumbuh,
Akal harus jadi tuan, biar hidup bersempadan

Hamid Chan
Karya Solo: BORNEO
Sebuah karya yang berlandaskan dasar-dasar kehidupan dan keakraban penghuninya dengan alam semulajadi. Ianya dijadikan suatu sumber kepada garapan tari dalam persembahan solo ini. Gaya tari dan elemen-elemen etnik masyarakat kepulauan Borneo ia dijadikan pengisian tari satu koreografi yang mencerminkan kehidupan masyarakat itu sendiri, dalam erti kehidupan yang sebenar. Seni menjadi imitasi kehidupan dan kehidupan menjadi imitasi seni, tiada yang betul dan tiada yang salah dalam penciptaan, semuanya membentuk suatu kehidupan kita. Apa yang terlahir dari diri kita akan menjadi jatidiri kita, ianya mungkin lahir dari apa yang kita kutip hasil tatapan, bacaan, renungan dan pengalamanang kita lalui.

Karya Kumpulan: KUKUDA
“Kukuda” adalah satu gabungan gerak tari dari kuda kepang dan tari jawa (Gagahan) namun hampir keseluruhan pengisian dalam koreografi ini, telah diolah mengikut corak tari masakini, walaubagaimanapun warna-warna tari Kuda Kepang dan tari Jawanya adalah menjadi landasan utama, begitu juga dengan iringan muzik ia adalah satu garapan baru dalam aliran yang berlainan. Tiada siapa menghalang tiada siapa merancang di sudut lalui penuh ruang, dilalui langkaan 8 Kukuda, bernafas di atas rentak muzik, berhenti di atas satu ruang.

Junainah M.Lojong
Karya Solo : Untitled I – Suara Tubuh
Karya ini merupakan penggalian didalam proses eksperimentasi gerak dan tari yang berpaksikan “space” (ruang) dan “time”(waktu). Maka dari pertembungan-pertembungan tersebutlah emosi-emosi yang menciptakan isu-isunya tersendiri. Dipasakkan kepada satu punca, eksplorasi gerak dan tari yang terhasil daripada kepelbagaian ruang yang dicipta dalam waktu yang berbeza-beza. Tanpa teks, isu yang diangkat melalui ruang yang dibina akan mengubah tubuh badan yang memberikan tenaga berbeza. Secara semulajadi anggota badan akan memberi tindak balas terhadap ruang yang akan menghasilkan emosi diri. Ruang, waktu dan isu menjadi idea dan konsep utama dalam kerja seni ini.

Karya Kumpulan: Untitled II - Wanita
Karya tari ini merupakan suatu kelangsungan dari permainan gerak dan gerak permainan atau “playing” berpandukan tema didalam isu feminisma dan wanita. Bertemakan wanita, tubuh badan akan mengekspresi dan menyampaikan mesej kepada khalayak. Eksplorasi kepada tema ini dikembangkan dan menghasilkan isu tentang wanita. Proses latihan akan mewujudkan satu focus kepada tema secara satu arah, mengambil seksualiti sebagai elemen penting di dalam pergerakkan. Walaupun tema wanita itu terlalu besar, proses penggalian terhadap tema itu akan menghasilkan satu persoalan utama di dalam konsep wanita.

Zulkifli Mohamad
Karya Solo: 1914/2004
Kedua-dua tarikh keramat ini adalah umpama menatap halaman ‘Hari Ini Dalam Sejarah’ – mengenang kembali tahun 1914 dimana Tok Janggut menentang penjajah British bermati-matian sehingga tubuhnya dikelar empat belas dan dibawa mengelilingi Kota Bharu untuk ditayangkan kepada seluruh rakyat jelata. 2004 pula menyaksikan bagaimana beratus-ratus orang Melayu Muslim sebangsa seugama dengan kita dikorbankan di seberang sungai di sempadan. Persembahan ini menggunakan gabungan pancaran video dan gerak geri dramatis yang bersifat moden sambil berinspirasikan silat, asyik, mak yong dan manora.

Karya Kumpulan: Jadi Jawa Jawi
Penceritaan yang berinspirasikan asal usul dan pengaruh kerajaan-kerajaan lama nusantara di Semenanjung Tanah Melayu serta pengaliran imigran tanah seberang yang menjadi isu masakini. Persembahan ini menggunakan konsep minimalis dengan cahaya lampu pelita serta suara dari penari sendiri dan di jakstaposisikan dengan lagu dangdut dari radio transistor.

Ulasan The BOH Cameronian Arts Awards 2003

The BOH Cameronian Arts Awards 2003Ulasan The BOH Cameronian Arts Awards 2003 oleh sultanmuzaffar

link

Apabila dipelawa untuk menghadiri Cameronian Arts Awards 2003 merupakan satu peluang yang tidak akan saya lepaskan. Saya ke Mandarin Oriental bersama Nizam Zakaria. Di sana saya bertemu beberapa orang kawan lagi. Gang Akademi Fantasia. Satu pengalaman yang memang menyeronokkan apabila dapat menonton secara langsung perjalanan majlis anugerah yang amat berprestij ini. Cameronian Arts Awards, sepuluh tahun lagi akan menjadi seperti Tony Awards. Dalam usia yang baru dua tahun, kegemilangan anugerah ini sudah seakan-akan menyerlah. Walaupun kurang mendapat publisiti di dada-dada akhbar, anugerah ini tetap menyinar. Lebih-lebih lagi ianya bukan dianjurkan oleh akhbar harian utama Malaysia sebaliknya oleh sebuah laman web iaitu kakiseni.com. Di dalam Metro Ahad, salah seorang wartawan menggelarkan laman web ini sebagai anakseni.com. Amat melucukan ! Saya tidak berani untuk mengulas tentang keputusan perjurian memandangkan saya tidak berkesempatan untuk menonton semua persembahan yang dipertandingkan. Anugerah utama pada malam itu iaitu Anugerah Lifetime Achievement dianugerahkan kepada Ramli Ibrahim seorang aktivis seni tari klasikal India yang terkenal di Malaysia dan di peringkat antarabangsa.

DANCE

Profound Grace menggondol dua anugerah melalui Best Soundscape Design dan Best Solo Performer. Manakala Re: Lady White Snake menggondol dua anugerah melalui Best Lighting Design dan Best Set Design. Dance of The Flourish menyerlah dengan Best Performance By A Group dan AWAS dengan Best Original Music.

The BOH Cameronian Arts Awards 2003Zulhuzaimy: Pemenang Best Ensemble Performance untuk Alang Rentak Seribu

MUSIC

Akhbar-akhbar tempatan hari ini banyak memberi komen tentang kekalahan Kembara Jiwa Mohram. Saya tidak terkilan menerima kekalahan Mohram kerana berpendapat ada persembahan lain yang lebih hebat dari persembahan hebat Mohram. Laras Gong contohnya merupakan sebuah persembahan yang benar-benar mengkagumkan. Namun demikian kehebatan aspek teknikal pada Kembara Jiwa Mohram tidak wajar dinafikan.

BEST ORIGINAL COMPOSITION

Adeline Wong for Synclastic Illuminations performed at the MPO Forum, Producedby the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra

BEST CONCERT, WORLD MUSIC

Laras Gong- Rhythm in Bronze series, directed by Sunetra Fernando and Jillian Ooi, Produced by Five Arts Centre and The Actors Studio

BEST CONCERT, MUSICAL THEATRE

Love without End, Musical Direction by Khor Seng Chew, Artistic Direction by Pun Kai Loon, Produced by Dama Orchestra.

The BOH Cameronian Arts Awards 2003Nam Ron: Pengarah Aku Nak Jadi Bintang

THEATER

Kategori Teater mencipta beberapa kejutan. Kemenangan Anne James dalam ?Dinner For Two in the Best of Restaurants? agak mengejutkan. Lebih-lebih lagi beliau menewaskan Nam Ron melalui sebuah monolog panjang ?matderihkolaperelih?. Saya berkesempatan untuk menonton kedua-dua persembahan dan merasakan Nam Ron jauh lebih hebat dan berkarisma dengan watak sebagai matderihkolaperelih. Tenaga beliau beraksi selama 1 jam setengah secara berseorangan amat mengkagumkan, manakala Anne James hanya muncul selama 10 minit dalam segmen teater pendek 7Ten arahan Krishnen Jit.

Ketiadaan pemenang untuk Best Original Script ? English juga mengejutkan. Panel perjurian tentunya mempunyai sebab-sebab tertentu. They Will Be Grateful bercerita tentang mesyuarat korporat yang panjang dan berlangsung dalam suana yang amat sinis manakala Daulat mengungkap persoalan patriotisme di kalangan rakyat Cina di Malaysia. Kedua-dua teater pendek ini memberikan satu persepsi baru tentang satu persoalan yang agak berat. Elemen sinis dan sedikit unsur-unsur parodi telah mencetuskan sedikit unsur provokatif secara tidak langsung. Mungkin sebab itulah, tidak pemenang dipilih untuk kategori ini.

Alang Rentak Seribu kelihatan hebat dengan kemenangan Best Ensemble Performance yang mengiktiraf setiap pelakon dalam persembahan tersebut. Roshomon sebuah filem Jepun yang telah diadaptasi ke pentas oleh Joe Hasham menjadi jaguh dalam aspek teknikal apabila menggondol semua anugerah teknikal sama seperti yang berlaku untuk Anugerah Akademi baru-baru ini apabila Lord Of The Rings mengungguli setiap kategori teknikal.

Kemenangan ?matderihkolaperelih? untuk Best Original Script ? Bahasa Malaysia sudah dijangkakan kerana saingannya Monsopiad karya Faisal Tehrani banyak menyelitkan bahasa Dusun yang tidak difahami tanpa bantuan sarikata.

Lakonan mantap Mardiana benar-benar memukau dan dibantu kekuatan skrip karya Nam Ron. Saya benar-benar terpegun menyaksikan sebuah lakonan yang maha hebat itu. Monolog panjang tersebut amat mengkagumkan.
