But when his tale of modesty is told with all the pomp and circumstance that can possibly be mustered, doesn't the term "Buddhist musical" seem an oxymoron?]]> http://www.arterimalaysia.com/2009/05/30/a-contradiction-in-terms/feed/ 6 http://www.arterimalaysia.com/2009/05/30/how-clean-is-your-toilet/ http://www.arterimalaysia.com/2009/05/30/how-clean-is-your-toilet/#comments Sat, 30 May 2009 05:57:08 +0000 editorial http://www.arterimalaysia.com/?p=2380 by Bilqis Hijjas On the way to see director Loh Kok Man's new version of his work now entitled Toilet, I was expecting lots of grit and grime, blood and guts all over the walls, grotesquerie and grimness. What I found was altogether different: light polished vignettes, all scrubbed and disinfected. And while I enjoyed the production in the end, I couldn't help feeling that something was missing.]]> http://www.arterimalaysia.com/2009/05/30/how-clean-is-your-toilet/feed/ 1 http://www.arterimalaysia.com/2009/05/21/saturday-outing/ http://www.arterimalaysia.com/2009/05/21/saturday-outing/#comments Thu, 21 May 2009 02:30:18 +0000 admin http://www.arterimalaysia.com/?p=2072 by ARTERI It's almost unreal that the Klang Valley art scene has been buzzing with activities non-stop for the past month. You'd think that as we enter into what is described as the worst recession since the Depression that programmes would have been scaled down or decommissioned altogether. ]]> http://www.arterimalaysia.com/2009/05/21/saturday-outing/feed/ 0 http://www.arterimalaysia.com/2009/05/09/back-and-forth/ http://www.arterimalaysia.com/2009/05/09/back-and-forth/#comments Sat, 09 May 2009 07:51:43 +0000 admin http://www.arterimalaysia.com/?p=1679 by Simon Soon Marion D'Cruz's lecture performance takes a new generation of arts supporters back into the heyday of theatre/dance/visual art/literary/education collaboration, reliving the Five Arts recipe that was borne from a sincere drive towards a multidisciplinary approach in art practice.]]> http://www.arterimalaysia.com/2009/05/09/back-and-forth/feed/ 35 http://www.arterimalaysia.com/2009/04/30/wait-until-it-comes-out-on-video/ http://www.arterimalaysia.com/2009/04/30/wait-until-it-comes-out-on-video/#comments Thu, 30 Apr 2009 14:15:14 +0000 editorial http://www.arterimalaysia.com/?p=1526 by Bilqis Hijjas Most dance productions have to be seen in person. No video, no matter how accurately captured and carefully edited, can compare with the ability of the human eye to encompass the width of the stage in one instant, then hone in to focus on the swivel of an eyeball in the next. That said, there are a few occasions when watching a dance production in person is so frustrating and uncomfortable that a video comes as a welcome blessing. ”Seven Skins’ at the launch of The Light Show at the Annexe Central Market was one such instance. ]]> http://www.arterimalaysia.com/2009/04/30/wait-until-it-comes-out-on-video/feed/ 0 http://www.arterimalaysia.com/2009/04/24/the-light-show-opening-night-with-photo-gallery/ http://www.arterimalaysia.com/2009/04/24/the-light-show-opening-night-with-photo-gallery/#comments Fri, 24 Apr 2009 06:10:38 +0000 admin http://www.arterimalaysia.com/?p=1311 by Sharon Chin Of all the openings I've been to (including my own), the one for The Light Show at Annexe Gallery last Thursday stands out as truly memorable. It was was the first time I'd seen so many people at an exhibition opening, ever. The energy in the air was palpable. It seemed like all the worlds of KL's design, art, architecture and performance communities had converged in one place. It was awesome.]]> http://www.arterimalaysia.com/2009/04/24/the-light-show-opening-night-with-photo-gallery/feed/ 14
