Don’t forget the JOKER!

Sunday was the final workshop of the forum series, exploring the role of the Joker within theatre of the oppressed. Our eclectic group explored issues of drug abuse and refugee disempowerment in Malaysia, and we will be presenting our forum pieces at the FORUM at MAP on December 12th.

We also got to explore the concept of ‘What do you want from a community arts space?’ with a group of emerging artists and social outreach workers using the innovative WORLD CAFE technique. The results were enlightening, so watch this space for further updates.

In other news, another phase of Fallen Leaves opens with the near completion of our refurbishment of the Batu Arang Creative Learning Centre. Many thanks to volunteer Phoebe and member Leeboi for all their hard work transforming our creative space. Inner and outer transformations align!

Unwanted Leaves

“... to my surprise, I was gathered among other leaves, the leaves cushioned me with comfort of hopes when I fell in their midst from the wind of hopelessness. Your sorrow is your tomorrow They were meant to those who are broken and bruised in life. You are comforted to be a comforter – said the unwanted leaves.” – Augustine Soosai

"It's like these fallen leaves. People think they are useless, and quickly brush them up, but these leaves have a use too. They help the seeds below to grow healthy and strong."
