Curtain Call: Projek Asas Teater

Drama queens and kings, rejoice! Jointly organized by myHarapan and acclaimed performing arts collective Rumah Anak Theatre, Projek Asas Teater is an intensive 9-week course designed to equip aspiring thespians with basic skills and knowledge in acting, dance, music and scenography.

Under the watchful eyes of a group of trainers and facilitators from various art and media backgrounds, participants will be coached in their respective chosen fields based on specially-constructed syllabi. These include trips to actual performing arts productions and the opportunity to star in one of their very own!

Lest you think that is all Projek Asas Teater has going for it, think again. Malaysia is a treasure trove of hidden creative talents. But like all treasure troves, they must be unearthed first. This is the foremost objective of the project, in addition to providing a platform for budding young individuals to develop their abilities, showcase them to a wider audience and hopefully further their careers in the cutthroat make-or-break world of entertainment.

Actors and actresses will take to the floor at 9 to 11 a.m. followed by dancers at 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., musicians and singers at 2 to 4 p.m. and scenographers at 4.30 to 6.30 p.m.
