8. NOT FOR SALE
26 March – 2 April
White Box @ MAPKL
Admission is Free
----------------------------
In celebration of its 3rd anniversary, MAP brings together friends who are artists, art
collectors and gallery owners to showcase artworks that are NOT FOR SALE. The
show attempts to explore the ‘exclusive’ relationships between the artworks and its
owners in the context of an exuberant art market. It is about the negotiation between
spiritual values and commercial values. Artworks submitted may include a collectors’
most notable/ inspirational acquisition, an artist’s most revealing/revolting work, or a
‘special’ gift/inheritance, or perhaps in one’s opinion the ‘best art ever’. The show
attempts a reading of ownership as a reaction of desires and self-identity. It also
seeks to address the narratives between the object and the subject, the material and
immaterial, ‘matter’ and ‘what really matters’. NOT FOR SALE exhibition will be held
at the white box, MAP from 26 march until 08 April 2013, and precedes the henry
butcher art auction 2013 exhibition.
Participants include, artists such as Gan Chin Lee, Carolyn Lau, Poodien, Jalaini
Hassan, Ahmad Zakii Anwar, collectors U-Wei Hj Saari, Pakhruddin and Fatima,
Bingley Iskandar Abdullah, Ng Sek San, Dr. Steve Wong and gallerists, Nazli Aziz,
Nabil Nahar, Dato’ Parameswaran, S. Jamal Al-Idrus & U-C Loh, Kenny Teng, Richard
Koh.

RUMAH ANAK TEATER (RAT) Got a Grant... You want?




DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES

Also available are two development programmes aimed at helping to grow the performing arts industry:

1.      Mentor-mentee Programme
This programme is for people who would like to stage a production but have little or no experience at doing so.
Mentees receive a monthly stipend of RM1,800 to cover their cost of living during the programme as well as RM100,000 to stage their production.
Mentors selected for the programme will receive a token sum of RM5,000 for their participation.

2.      Apprentice Programme
This programme is targeted at individuals who would like to pursue a career in the performing arts industry but have little financial support to do so.
Therefore, apprentices will be placed at a performing arts company until December 2013 and receive a monthly stipend of RM1,800 to cover their cost of living
This is the first time that the government has made such grants and programmes available to the performing arts industry of Malaysia and in order for them to continue, we need to have a lot of applications to show them that there is a need for such financial assistance!


We are also seeking your recommendations for potential mentors and companies to host apprentices in your state (and region).

As it stands, we have many suggestions but most of them are based in the Klang Valley region and most are too theatre centric.

Additionally, if you (and other companies in your region) would like to employ interns or apprentices but don’t have the resources to do so, you can encourage them to apply and state in their applications that they would like to work at your organisation.

To find out more about these grants and programmes, visit: http://grants.kakiseni.com.

The submission deadline for applications falls on 31 March 2013 and 30 April 2013 so we hope to hear from you soon!

Tattoo Gestapo, impian jadi kenyataan Pekin Ibrahim




13 Nov – Walaupun sudah berlakon dalam berbelas-belas pementasan teater dan filem atau drama di televisyen, namun jiwa Pekin Ibrahim sebenarnya lebih kepada pementasan teater, dan "Tattoo Gestapo" merupakan bentuk teater yang diimpikan selama ini.

Menurut Pekin, dia sangat bersyukur apabila diberi peluang dan kepercayaan untuk membuat pementasan pertama di panggung baru milik KakiSeni di Petaling Jaya.

Pekin Ibrahim: Tattoo Gestapo Teater Saya Impikan Selama Ini


*Gambar oleh Iskandar Ibrahim

Mungkin ramai yang mengenali Pekin Ibrahim sebagai pelakon filem di layar perak atau drama di kaca televisyen. Tetapi, beliau sebenarnya seorang pelakon di gelanggang  pentas teater.

Sungguhpun sudah berlakon dalam berbelas-belas pementasan teater, pementasan teater Tattoo Gestapo merupakan bentuk teater yang diimpikan selama ini. Antaranya ialah ASRAR 2(2011),MERDEKA APA?(2009) dan JU&MEO (2012).

Pada tahun ini sahaja, beliau sudah pun terlibat dalam dua pementasan di bawah payung Rumah Anak Teater dan filem-filem yang masih menuggu tayangan termasuk Rock Oo,  Silangkang, Renraz, Apokalips, Cerita Kita, Tokan dan Lagenda Budak Hostel.

Bercakap mengenai pementasan kali ini, beliau beserta pasukan produksi bersyukur kerana diberi kepercayaan untuk membuat pementasan pertama di panggung baru milik KakiSeni di Petaling Jaya.

Pekin amat selesa dengan saiz panggung yang kecil yang hanya mampu memuatkan seramai 60 penonton buat satu-satu masa kerana beliau berasa 'lebih rapat' dengan penonton.

"Ini akan memberi kesan yang lebih mendalam atas sesebuah pementasan itu", ujarnya.

Beliau juga senang apabila para pelakon dapat berdialog dengan penonton selepas sesuatu pementasan agar semua dapat berkongsi dengan sesuatu naskah itu.

Pekin (31) berasal dari Kota Bharu menganggap teater yang berkisar dalam kehidupan sebenar dalam penjara betul-betul mencabarnya dalam membawa watak seorang warden penjara.

“Bukannya saya ingin menjadi seperti mereka (warden) tetapi saya ingin menunjukkan bahawa saya juga boleh berlakon watak-watak mereka yang mempunyai pengalaman berhadapan dengan banduan-banduan akhir” jelas Pekin.

“Kita harus sedar bahawa banduan juga manusia dan manusia mempunyai perasaan dan maruah harga diri,” tambah Pekin lagi.

Pekin memainkan watak sebagai  Mustafa ,yang mengalami konflik bersama rakan sekerja dan akhirnya konflik itu berakhir dengan hukuman mati.

Pementasan kedua yang dilakonkan di bawah produksi Rumah Anak Teater, Pekin berasa selesa berada di bawah payung sebuah produksi kecil tetapi berjiwa besar. Rumah Anak Teater ialah produksi teater yang ditubuhkan sejak 2008 yang membawa isu-isu hak asasi manusia di pentas teater dan filem.

Pementasan pertamanya bersama Rumah Anak Teater ialah Ju&Meo pada tahun lalu yang diarahkan dan dilakonkan bersama Mislina Mustaffa. Ju&Meo ialah berdasarkan adaptasi naskah Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet.

Di dalam Tatto Gestapo, Pekin digandingkan dengan Benjy yang membuat ‘comeback’ selepas ditahan selama dua tahun kerana disyaki terlibat dalam kes dadah.

Menurut Pekin, Benjy banyak berkongsi pengalamannya di dalam tahanan dan kami akan memainkan watak-watak itu berdasarkan perbincangan kami – bukan berdasarkan tekaan kosong apabila seseorang itu berada di dalam penjara.

“Kami juga akan berbahasa seperti mereka berbahasa di dalam penjara,” katanya lagi.

Selain Benjy, Azman Hassan dan pelakon baru didikan Rumah Anak Teater, Doul akan turut menjayakan pementasan ini nanti. Teater ini akan diarahkan oleh pengarah filem Budak Kelantan, Wan Azli Wan Jusoh. Pengarah Artistik ialah Nam Ron.

Pihak Kebudayaan Selangor juga bertindak sebagai penaja bagi pementasan ini. Tattoo Gestapo akan dipentaskan di Free.Space@Kakiseni, SSTwo Mall Petaling Jaya pada 22-25 November 2012.

Keterangan lanjut boleh hubungi 012-2356417.

KENYATAAN MEDIA EXCO KEBUDAYAAN NEGERI SELANGOR




MENYAMPAI MAKLUMAT DAN MENDIDIK MASYARAKAT MELALUI MEDIUM KREATIF

Assalamualaikumwarahmatullahiwabarakatuh

Pertama-tama kali ingin saya mengucapkan syukur kerana satu lagi projek pementasan teater dibiayai oleh Kerajaan Negeri Selangor. Kali ini melalui produksi Rumah Anak Teater melalui pementasan mereka Tattoo Gestapo.

Kebebasan berekspressi sesungguhnya termaktub di dalam Perlembagaan Persekutuan. Kerajaan Negeri Selangor sentiasa menyokong usaha-usaha dalam meluahkan keluhan-keluhan mereka melalui karya-karya mereka. Kami  bukan sahaja menyokong kebebasan berekspressi melalui pementasan teater tetapi juga sebelum ini menyokong seni-seni visual melalui Festival Filem Kebebasan yang dianjurkan oleh KOMAS. Saya percaya kebebasan perlu diberikan kepada penggiat-penggiat ini sekiranya kita mahu mengekalkan demokrasi di dalam Negara kita dan terus menjadi anggota kepada Majlis Hak Asasi Manusia di PBB. Kami juga percaya dalam kerajaan moden yang demokratik, seluruh rakyat perlu diberikan hak untuk menyuarakan dan menyatakan pandangan-pandangan mereka berkenaan dengan isu-isu yang berkeliaran di persekitaran kita. Masa hadapan demokrasi di Malaysia ini terletak dengan pemberian ruang yang luas untuk bebas berekspressi bukannya mengongkong rakyat yang ingin menyatakan secara aman.

Apa yang kami tawarkan kepada kumpulan-kumpulan seperti Rumah Anak Teater ini ialah kebebasan mereka berkarya tanpa perlu memohon sebarang permit mahu pun lesen hiburan melalui pementasan.

Apa yang menarik perhatian saya di dalam pementasan ini ialah isu yang dibawakan melalui karya Tattoo Gestapo. Kerajaan Negeri menyokong penyampaian maklumat melalui medium kreatif seperti pementasan teater, penulisan, ruang berpidato, lakonan dan apa-apa medium yang dapat menyantuni jiwa masyarakat dan mengajak masyarakat supaya berfikir untuk menentukan yang benar atau salah.

 Dari aspek penahanan banduan pula, angka mereka yang ditahan di bawah Akta Dadah Berbahaya (LLPK) 1985 di lima pusat tahanan; Simpang Renggam menempatkan 489, di Pusat Pemulihan Akhlak Machang pula menempatkan tahanan seramai 886 orang, di Pusat Pemulihan Akhlak Batu Gajah seramai 577 orang, dan di Pusat Pemulihan Akhlak Muar pula menempatkan 208 tahanan muda di mana 37 daripadanya di bawah Akta Dadah Berbahaya.

 Jadi, hukuman gantung bukanlah penyelesaian untuk mengatasi masalah dadah di Negara kita. Apa yang lebih penting ialah kesedaran yang dipupuk. Oleh yang demikianlah, kami akan menumpu kempen-kempen kesedaran kita bagi menjauhkan kaum belia kita daripada dadah ialah dengan melalui pementasan teater ini disamping berhibur.

Saya sememangnya teruja dengan barisan produksi Rumah Anak Teater ini di bawah bimbingan Nam Ron. Saya ingin berterima kasih kepada para pelakon hebat Benjy dan Pekin Ibrahim yang pernah memenangi pelbagai anugerah selama mereka berkecimpung di dalam industri seni.

 Saya menyeru seluruh warga Selangor khususnya untuk hadir menonton pementasan ini.

Sekian, terima kasih.


Rodziah Ismail
