metamorphosis dance concert poster

The committee commented that the previous design is for kindergarten kids performance. I was kind of speechless in the beginning. "something black or grey or brown?". All right that is what they meant by cool.

For me, metamorphosis is suppose to be the beginning of life and new look!
Was it suppose to be mysterious and dull?
I thought this is what they wanted, but after a while i changed my mind and made some changes on it.

I am not sure if you can see 2 people morphing into butterfly / vice versa. Just make sure you think it's cool ( for secondary school performance )

I don't want to complain, but people are just taking things for granted. I m working up til 2am in the morning. I want to quit.

this is the last time! no more!

i knew it. tired... need some rest

dance performance poster

As i promised to design a poster for my sister's co-curriculum dance concert / show.
here is the first complete draft, hopefully they will not need me to change it later on.


the concept is butterfly morphing into people and these group of people are the dancers presenting the performance.

rhythm / rentak

It has been a while that I have been to the Dewan Filharmonik Petronas. A rainy evening I left work earlier. I was quite frustrated with the traffic and made it to the hall, with all my siblings.

Proud and glad that, we got to witness a very good traditional performance of our country and culture. An all Chinese Dikir Barat group from SGM Kelantan, and Hands Percussion brought us drums percussion with manipulation of various traditional instrument, such as gong and gamelan and with some additional sparks from jazz drum.

I was very very glad to see such precious culture preserved and expanded with creativity.

{ our panggung }

104 years old opera house in Kuala Lumpur. So happened I had a chance to get myself back to this most historical and precious place. The Merdeka Square. It was 2 years ago that I have been here for 7 TEN - total of seven plays with duration of 10 minutes of each play. About a month before the tragedy happened, it was my first time and last chance to get into The Actor Studio box/theatre. Remember the painful outpouring rain?

Back to the Panggung Bandaraya. This place flooded with people who has unbreakable passion towards performing arts yet it is cozy and tiny. I was quite excited, keep on snaping pictures. I think this is the visually smallest opera house that I have ever visited. In fact, it could absorb 327 audiences. Take a not-so-good look here, I am sorry that I have to torture the eyes abit, as the images were taken with camera phone.

{ Buatan Malaysia }

Where were we? I didn't know there is such a treasure hidden so close to me. Thank you ENCORE (An Evening of Songs from the Malaysian Musical Theatre), presented by Five Arts Centre.
A unique celebration of the music and talents of home-grown composers who have contributed to the Malaysian musical theatre in the past 15 years, a great "Buatan Malaysia" has brought me to here - KLPac, Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre.

ENCORE will be one of the most unforgetable musical theatre to me. As to those who has attended, know it very well, creative and entertaining.

Thank you to my performing art productions/shows kaki, Grey, who recomended ENCORE to me and Peishan + her lovely digital camera.

{ be GREAT }

Thank you for the one who arranged this. A sharing session from Wong Kit Yaw (18 years experience in the dance career). He has shared plenty of experience of being a creative person and being someone that is so passionate for his own interest. He dance. Talk dance, eat dance, sleep dance... I could strongly feel that from him.


It is so true that he said, inspiration does not just come by itself, inspiration has to be observed. According to him, being a creative person can't take lack of inspiration as an excuse for being stuck in execution of a piece of art. When it is lack of inspiration, it caused by lack of sensitivity towards the surrounding. Things are always there, when they are being observed and filtered or processed after an individual's thoughts, here comes all inspiration. He reads and writes always, that makes him creative all the time.

Last but not least, another thing that touched my heart so much was, "When someone is so eagerly to be GREAT of doing something else, will never be." Great or not will defined by people after us. As long as we do things that we so passion for whole-heartedly, it is GREAT enough.
