FUSED at The Actors Studio

September 29, 2011 at 2:00 pm

The Actors’ Studio ends the month of September with FUSED, an experimental performing arts series. FUSED will run from 29th September till 2nd October, and each night will offer something different in terms of artists, ideas and performances.

Here is what’s lined up for this edition of FUSED:

29 September – BACA: Rehearsed Reading
Is reading just reading? You’ll discover there’s more to the spoken word at this little experiment. A rehearsed reading series focused on local plays that have yet been staged, baca serves as a platform for playwrights to showcase their scripts, as well as a sneak peek to theatre for the public. baca, ‘where we make scripts come alive’, is one of the projects helmed by The Actors Studio’s Actor in-Residence, Inessa Irdayanty.

30 September – Strumming to a different beat: The Electronic Issue

Electric is in, at least on 30th September when guitarists all swap their acoustic guitars for electric. Be ready for some interesting sounds as the riffs of electric guitars merge with more familiar sounds of the keyboard, trumpet and saxophone.

Featuring:
Kuning Sudar (Tears for Alaska), Phang, Tan Hwang (Citizens of Ice Cream), Brendan Angelo (Tic), Fadil (The Great Metropolitan Expressway) Fairus (Blur) on visuals

1 October – MyDance Alliance presents Dancebox

Dancebox offers a combined package of experimental dance to the audience at The Actors’ Studio this October. This time around, the box is set to offer something more informal yet entertaining, while retaining its own unique identity from previous offerings of bellydancing, ballet, Latin and butoh. Let’s open this box and find out what’s in store this October!

2 October – We Are Malaysian Made Movies

It’s movie time with a slight twist this 2nd October with WAMM screenings. Known for screening stuff that never ends up on local TV or the cinema, and with a penchant of getting news about things that slip through local publications, WAMM will screen two short films this time around.

“Love and Luksaah” by Mei (A Malaysian in New Zealand)
A finalist for Best Short Film in the Asian 1st Films Festival 2009 in Singapore, this is a tale about two men, a girl, and laksa, lots of it.

“Damaged Kung Fu” by Juliane Block (A German who makes films in Malaysia) *Debut Screening
The film will debut at the Actors’ Studio and offer the audience an action comedy parody tribute to days of Bruce Lee.

Oh yes, that’s not all for the night, as WAMM will also feature a local band with a very interesting name, Once Upon A Time There Was A Sausage Named Bob. Formed on 25th November 2009, the band’s line up includes female vocalist Esty Richards, Jared Lee and his brother Lee Wei Chen on guitar and bass respectively, followed by Anthony Lee on lead guitar and JC Lam on drums.

All performances begin at 8:30 pm and takes place at The Actors’ Studio @ Lot10. Entry is by donation of a minimum of RM10.
