New Project!

Since the last posting, Projek Wayang has been hard at work putting together plans for the coming year. First up, we will be collaborating with some of the people who participated in the December edition of SiCKL Open Lab, as well as some fresh faces. The main theme will be developing Wayang Lampu (lightbulbs) into another performance form (potentially), meaning we will be looking at the theme of Light itself in an urban context of storytelling.

The collaborators thus far include architect Lisa Foo, multimedia designer Jazmi Izwan, musician & engineer Ronnie Khoo, musician lecturer Azmyl Yunor, writer Zedeck Siew, and writer and occasional photographer Myra Mahyuddin.

If all goes well, we are looking at presenting a workshop performance sometime in June 2009.

The music + light performance at SiCKL Open Lab (SOL) #04 went very well, with good responses from the audience. There will definitely be more collaborative work between the participants, and we will announce the presentations here. (Rather unfortunate that we did not get to video the event...)

Wayang Lampu @ SiCKL Open Lab (SOL)

As promised, here are the details for the upcoming Wayang Lampu performance. I will be working with Lisa Foo, Ronnie Khoo (of Furniture), and Jazmi in an experimental DJ and light installation set. Expect wackiness!

Here's the FB event page.
