SRIWANA, a Singapore leading pioneer non-profit Malay cultural group, is proud to announce the inaugural celebration of her 50th Anniversary in July 2005. To commemorate this prestigious gala event, SRIWANA will be staging a dance-musical theatre production, EMAS, following the success of last year’s "Sal5060" which was held on 27 April 2004.
With the aim of injecting the spirit of awareness in the traditional values of the performing arts that has been facing the ever-challenging development of modern theatre and of nurturing the young artistic activists, "EMAS, THE GOLDEN YEARS", will be fusing together various performances such as dance, music, visual arts and poetry recital. These genres will be portrayed as an amalgamated display of a cohesive and elaborated production, projecting SRIWANA’s 50 years of hardship, achievement and glory to this very day.
SRIWANA’s fine arts will be administered in this dynamically fresh expression to the embedded traditional practices of the Malay Performing Arts of its Golden Years via traditional, contemporary and state-of-the-art theatre illustrations and projections. This production promises to fascinate and enthrall the audience with performances ranging from the timeless classic of the traditional to the modern inspiration of today.
Artistic excellence from SRIWANA’s cream of choreographers, namely, Osman Hamid, Hjh. Som Said – both Cultural both Cultural Medallion recipients, Fauziah Hanom Yusof, Hamzah Rahim – budding and promising in-house choreographers and many more will be graced by our strong and talented pool of 50 SRIWANAs’ dancers both existing as well as dancers before.
One significant event would be the presence of Tom Ibnur; a dance choreographer from Indonesia who possesses widespread experience and prestige in the dance community since 1984. This gentleman has provided numerous significant contributions in the establishment and development of Malay dance. His contribution was not only limited to Sriwana but also to the Singapore Malay community as a whole.
Fauziah HanomYusof – our very own-bred dancer turned choreographer had been instrumental in the artistic development of the group’s performance especially so in the last 5 years. Had co-led the group in several festivals and her numerous creative works had become the platform of the group’s fundamentals and inadvertently enhanced the group’s repertoire. Had been responsible for the group’s new image and had contributed significantly to the success and being of the group as of today.
Yet another highlight of this dance-musical theatre production will be the total live music accompaniment of the renown Sri Mahligai, a Singapore Malay traditional music ensemble. After a successful collaboration last year, Sri Mahligai’s live accompaniment will bring the performance to the next higher level.
With such a wealth of collaboration, EMAS will definitely highlight SRIWANA’s relevance, contributions as well as its significance to the local arts scene since its first inception in 1955.
A special highlight to this production is the dance workshop which will be opened to all schools & will be conducted on Saturday, 2nd July. Time : 8.30am to 5.30pm. Venue : Taman Warisan (Malay Heritage Center). Fee : $15 per person. The workshop will cover the following areas:
