Fitrah - Nature of the Self

★ NUS Ilsa Tari ★

Established in the early eighties, the NUS Malay Dance was renamed the NUS Ilsa Tari in 1998. With its new identity, the group aims to stage more challenging pieces. Under the guidance of tutor/choreographer Osman Abdul Hamid, the People's Association Malay Dance Group's choreographer and Singapore's Young Artist Award winner, the group performs traditional dances such as inang, ronggeng, zapin, lambak and silat. It also blends contemporary dance forms - where dancers move with free flow of sharp movements - with its traditional pieces. This results in traditional and contemporary dance.

Practice Practice!! @ 3:50 PM

As per usual, we had our ritualistic Monday practice yesterday!

We have the song! We have the song! okay the recording of the song.. :) You do know that we are having live musicians during the performance day itself right? I'm sure you knew already! BUT if you have not gotten news about this, I'll just inform you. We are very honoured to have Dzul Rabul Jalil be our Music Director once again for this upcoming production! :) And we have Rafaat Hamzah as our lightng designer! It feels like Bubbles all over, but of course better and with MORE oomph!

Anyways, practice yesterday was fun. We are currently at stage of beefing up our dance sets and basically were trying out different moves which would fit nicely with the dance!!

I'm excited all over just telling you about the practices for the production! Don't you feel it from where you are sitting and reading this entry? I'm sure you are! Why don't you join us for this fantabulous event on 14th March 2010, 8pm at UCC Theatre?

Tickets are still available, but get yours before they sell out!

XOXO,
