With nearly 10 years of professional vocal training, improv clubs and even more time spent onstage and helping out backstage, performing arts is an unfeigned passion of mine. Delving into the production side of theatre has always been my dream, and I believe that running for MNight Director is the perfect medium for my ambition.
From my experience with MNight 2023, I understand that everyone enters with varying skill levels; I wish to use my decade of stage performance, improvisational knowledge and general volunteering experience as a teacher to introduce pre-planned lessons on specific techniques to the cast members. I aim to have fun activities on improv, stage movement and teamwork to encourage creativity and experimentation from the cast.
To further expose non-Malaysian audiences to our culture, I wish to further incorporate specific architectural and art elements into set design, publicity materials and costuming to create a unique and distinct atmosphere. I plan to contact experts on specifically East Malaysian culture and conduct my own research on these topics to ensure an accurate representation of an underrepresented community.
I believe that a director should encompass the originality of a creator, the patience of an educator, and the skills of a performer in order to bring to life an original yet realistic vision — one that allows the performing artists, the production team or the audience themselves to create the best possible memories that MSoc has to offer.
