Akhirnya Aku menonton Jujur Aku Dayus, sebuah drama yg baik premisnya. Lakonan oleh Nora Danish, Rozi Rashid, tahu sebab dia byk muncul dalam filem2 Yasmin Ahmad. Pelakon lelakinya Aku tak kenal, tapi heronya bagus, selalunya jadi budak jahat. Yang jadi bapak pun dah biasa dlm drama tv, pelakon tvlah! Tak ramai pelakon, cuma Lima orang, semuanya berkesan, ditambah pulak dgn lagu Beribu Sesalan nyanyian gabungan 3 penyanyi, Ning, jac &amp; shila, menjadi latarbelakang tanpa tidak keterlaluan. Bukan macam sesetengah drama atau filem yg mcm bollywood plak. Sambil mengemas rumah, kemboja rak untuk perpustakaan dan mengeluarkan buku2 dari kotak2, sambil menonton. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aku juga masih melankoli dgn berita yg kawan Aku, Nurul Husni, bekas pemilik Galeri Kebun Mimpi dan pilot MAS, meninggal mati lemas di Pulau Perhentian dan bakal dikebumikan di Alor Star esoknya. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tiba2 tv Aku menjadi fuzzy, mungkin angin masih kuat, siaran mcm terganggu, jadi tak tahulah siapa pengarahnya, yg tahu cuma produsernya, Ziela Jalil, penulisnya Rohaya Ibrahim kalau tak silap. Korang tahu tak?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah Aku dah dapat Nama pelakon lelakinya, suami kpd Lis, Nora Danish, namanya Beto Kushairy, tak pasti plak Nama betul. Bapa Lis pulak dilakonkan oleh Hafifuddin? Tak pastilah dan bekas kekasih lama suami Lis, Aishah yg dilakonkan oleh Irma Hasmie. Sayangnya Aku masih tak dapat Nama Pengarah yg brilliant ni, lakonan byk terkawal dan tidak over, sebuah editing yg bagus. Tapi the star dlm drama ini adalah penulis skripnya yg bijak dgn membuatkan penonton membuat tekaan yg salah. Yg bijaknya, hanya penonton yg tahu, watak2 dlm nya masih keliru dgn peristiwa2 yg berlaku.

Selain menonton siaran langsung di TV3, aku juga pernah menonton persembahan di tempat berlangsung di Bukit Jalil. Tapi sekarang orang sudah boleh menonton di seluruh dunia melalui www.tonton.com.my. Tahun ini juga aku mengambil keputusan untuk menonton acara kemuncak industri muzik tanah air ini, walaupun di televisyen. Tahniah kerana terus kekal berada di dalam industri kreatif selama 26 tahun. Selalunya acara-acara tahunan di Malaysia tak kekal lama, terutamanya acara seni, seperti Kuala Lumpur Arts Festival. Mungkin inilah sebuah acara seni yang sebenar untuk orang Malaysia masakini, seni pop. Tapi bila menyebut sedemikian rupa, seni itu harus ada bukan saja pada muzik, senikata dan nyanyian, tetapi juga pakaian dan persembahan keseluruhannya.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Di Hong Kong, Hong Kong Arts Festival akan menyambut ulangtahun ke 40 pada tahun ini. Manakala Singapura pula telah mula mengadakan Singapore Arts Festivalnya sejak tahun 1977, genaplah 35 tahun pada tahun ini. Pada tahun 2008, Singapore Arts Festival menjadikan air sebagai tema, sama seperti tema Anugerah Juara Lagu pada tahun ini. Video promo yang dihasilkan oleh Celcom lah juga yang menjadi daya penarik untuk aku menonton AJL pada tahun ini, kerana seperti ada sesuatu yang berlainan yang bakal terjadi. Malah video promo di dalam air itu mengingatkan aku kepada persembahan teater tari ekspresionis Jerman karya Pina Bausch (1940-2009) yang begitu terkenal di dunia seni kontemporari. Di dalam pementasan tersebut pada tahun 1981, seluruh pentas dipenuhi dengan air, malah terdapat curahan air di mana-mana dari lelangit pentas. Para penari harus menari dan bermain di dalam air selama dua jam.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Apabila pengacara AJL26, Cheryl Samad bertanya kepada pengacara pasangannya, Faizal Ismail, ckenapa tema air?”, jawapannya, “kerana kita banyak taman tema air di Malaysia” dengan sebuah jawapan jenaka. Tetapi di dalam video promo “Di Sebalik Iklan AJL26”, ada beberapa cetusan idea yang disampaikan seperti kata Faizal Ismail sendiri “Air unsur yg baik, tubuh dan dunia penuh dengan air”. Hasni Yusof, pengarah iklan sendiri menjawab yang “air adalah sebagai sebuah tenaga”. Ning Baizura pula turut mengatakan yang “air sebagai sesuatu yang sangat simbolik, terutamanya pada seorang wanita, seperti air dalam kandungan ibu dan air yang menjadi sebahagian darah yang mengalir”. Pendekata tema air sudah diperjelaskan di situ. Tapi apakah cita-cita menjadikan air sebagai tema terlaksana?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Pada aku, kita di Malaysia juga sebenarnya dihubungkan dengan air, di antara Sabah, Sarawak dan Semenanjung, Pulau Pinang serta pulau-pulau lain yang penting buat kita. Air pula sememangnya asas kehidupan, tanpa air, keringlah kita. Tetapi air juga membawa bencana seperti tsunami yang berlaku di Aceh, Jepun dan banjir yang baru melanda negara Thailand. Pendekata itulah salah satu unsur kejadian, selain tanah, api dan angin. Sayang, ini semua tidak pernah diucapkan. Atau mungkin itu terlalu akademik? Rasanya tidak, rakyat Malaysia pun semua dah berpendidikan.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Segmen pembuka tirai selalunya menjadi penentu sesebuah acara, samada ia memberansangkan atau tidak. Persembahan dimulakan dengan sebuah tribut yang menampilkan Jamal Abdillah sebagai Raja Pop, Awie Wings sebagai Raja Rock dan Shiela Majid sebagai Ratu Jazz. Cuma aku kurang jelas dengan konsep pemenang-pemenang AJL yang lalu. Aku juga tak pasti yang irama jazz pernah menjadi salah satu irama yang dipertandingkan. Malah seingat aku, Shiela Majid tidak pernah masuk ke peringkat akhir. Kalu tidak aku pastilah tahu, kerana irama jazz dan “Rhythm &amp;amp; Blues” adalah irama kegemaran sejak berada di kampus pengajian tinggi.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Yang lebih melucukan, M.Nasir yang bukan hanya seorang komposer rock dan balada, tetapi juga seorang penyanyi yang memperkenalkan irama pop-ethno atau irama Malaysia, langsung tidak disebutkan, apalagi bila orangnya sudah berada di depan mata. Sayang sekali! Yang lebih pelik lagi Sti Nurhaliza, yang banyak menggondol banyak anugerah di AJL langsung tidak diundang membuat persembahan. Dia seharusnya seorang Ratu Pop yang tidak harus ditinggalkan. Jikalah empat penghibur ditampilkan cukuplah untuk menzahirkan konsep Tanah, Air, Api dan Angin.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Walaubagaimanapun, persembahan Jamal Abdillah mendendangkan lagu “Senandung Semalam” cukup memukau, malah mengingatkan aku pada klip video Raja Pop, Michael Jackson, “Thriller”. Jamal juga sudah siap berjaket, bersarung tangan dan bertopi, disulami dengan asap, hujan dan kilat sabung menyabung. Sayang sekali tidak ada gadis-gadis dan jejaka-jejaka yang bangit dari kepulan-kepulan itu. Ini tepat sekali mewakili konsep tanah dan air.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Persembahan Awie dgn rambutnya yang mengerbang dan angin yang bertiup, membelaia sekaf merahnya, dengan aura warna pentas yang merah amat menarik sekali. Kontinuiti berwarna merah pada baju Shiela Majid pula seperti mewakili api. Cuma sayang, aku tak berapa pasti apa yang ditarikan atau dilakukan oleh penari-penari di sekelilingnya. Secara umum, kesemua lagu-lagu yang dipertandingkan agak unik dan menarik untuk didengar, dari lagu-lagu rock seperti “Wanita Seluruh Dunia” nyanyian Projek Pistol, “Karma” oleh Faizal Tahir dan “Gadis Semasa” nyanyian and Yuna, irama pop alternatif seperti “Adinda Kekanda” persembahan Monolog dan Atilia, “Cinta Muka Buku” oleh Najwa Latif, “Penakut”nyanyian dan ciptaan Yuna dan “Sungai Lui” persembahan Aizat. Yang peliknya saban tahun AJL ini menjadi seperti sebuah pertarungan persembahan penyanyi-penyanyi menyanyikan lagu secara “live”. Bukankah kita sepatutnya meraikan pencipta lagu? Bagaimana pula dengan pengiktirafan terhadap penulis lirik? Anugerah tersebut telah hilang dari pertandingan.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Lagu “Kalau Berpacaran” dendangan penyanyi puisi era 1970an Sohaimi Mior Hassan, Ana Rafali dan Ultimate Rapper, kelihatan seperti sebuah percubaan menghasilkan irama baru melalui gabungan tiga gaya berbeza, tetapi didominasi irama 1960an. Tiga buah lagu lain yang dipertandingkan, “Awan Nano” nyanyian Hafiz, “Beribu Sesalan” persembahan gabungan Ning Baizura, Shila Amzah dan Jacquiline Victor, “Sedetik Lebih” yang didendangkan oleh Jac serta “Kisah Hati” nyanyian Alyah, boleh dikatakan sebagai lagu-lagu pop balada yang sudah menjadi kebiasaan untuk tercalon di peringkat akhir, malah berpotensi untuk menjadi juara. Cuma sejak beberapa tahun kebelakangan ini irama pop urban, rap, hip-hop dan rock alternatif menjadi pilihan.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Penjurian 12 belas lagu yang dipertandingkan melalui pengundian oleh 30 orang juri dari kalangan pencipta, penulis dan produser lagu yang diketuai oleh Azmeer dengan menggabungkan nama-nama besar seperti Jennifer Thomson, Fauzi Marzuki, Susan Goh, Ajai, Johan Nawawi dan lainnya, mungkin dilihat sebagai suatu perubahan baru untuk hala tuju industri muzik. Sekaligus mengumpulkan mereka bersama untuk sama-sama berfikir, apakah arah seterusnya untuk industri muzik di era teknologi informasi ini?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Juara lagu pada tahun ini, “Awan Nano” ciptaan M.Nasir dan lirik oleh Budi Hikayat, mendapat hadiah RM35,000.

Penampilannya yang bersahaja, dengan berkaki ayam, berbaju tee, dan bercelana trak, mampu menarik perhatian dan menumpukan persembahannya kepada vokal. Sebelum ini pun kita pernah melihat persembahan Maizurah Hamzah, Eliana dan Ning Baizura berkaki ayam. Apakah penampilan sebegini rupa boleh menjadi representasi kaum petani dan penduduk luar bandar? Atau ianya boleh merepsentasikan golongan urban yang melihat fesyen catwalk di Paris dan Milan sebagai rujukan untuk bergaya?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Rasanya banyak persembahan yang menarik dalam AJL26, dari Projek Pistol yang simple bersahaja, Aizat yang menampilkan projeksi video “seni pasir”, sesuatu yang baru di Malaysia, Faisal Tahir yang tampil gothic dramatik, Jac dengan busana yang begitu sensuous dengan penampilan piano, alat muzik bertali dan dibelakangi kumpulan koir, seperti sekumpulan penyanyi gospel di Amerika. Persembahan Alyah dalam lagunya “Kisah Hati” menjadi satu tanda tanya buat aku, bukan kerana bajunya tak cantik atau suaranya hancur, tetapi pengarahan yang membingungkan, dengan seorang badut yang membaca doa “Alif Ba Ta” beberapa kali untuk memulakan pergerakan patung yang bernyanyi. Yang peliknya aku tidak pasti macamana tiba-tiba patung itu bergerak tanpa sebarang desakan. Atau mungkin Remy Ishak yang tiba-tiba muncul menjadi penggerak patung yang kaku untuk bergerak. Apapun, Alyah dianugerahkan sebagai persembahan terbaik dan menerima RM10,000.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;AJL26 juga mencatatkan momen-momen yang unik seperti persembahan Monolog dan Atilia yang berpakaian tradisi siap dengan tanjak, kot dan sampin labuh, manakala Atilia berbaju kebaya songket bunga tabur, dengan iringan alat muzik angklung dan sekumpulan marching band, menjadikan persembahan menarik, walaupun lagunya agak hambar.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Yuna yang tampil berbeza di dalam kedua-dua buah lagu “Gadis Semasa” dan “Penakut”, menyuntikkan elemen muzik James Bond dalam di dalam prelude lagu “Gadis Semasa”. Cuma agak terperanjat melihat beliau menampilkan imej glam-muslim, siap dengan bulu mata lentik, baju-baju berjemaki dan dihiasi assesori. Beberapa tahun lalau sewaktu beliau mula-mula muncul ada suara-suara yang bertanya “selama mana Yuna akan bertahan di dalam industri dan tidak menjadi “glamour girl”. Malah aku sendiri tertanya-tanya “Perlukah Yuna, yang bersuara simpel, sempoi, santai dan bersahaja, mengikut jejak penyanyi-penyanyi wanita Malaysia yang suka menyanyi dengan suara nada tinggi dan membawakan imej glamor? Kerana di saat dia berubah dari gaya asalnya yang tersendiri, dia harus mula memikirkan gaya persembahannya.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Malam gilang gemilang itu diakhiri dengan sebuah persembahan tribut untuk penyanyi penuh inovasi, Allahyarham Sudirman, melalui lagu-lagunya “Hidup Sederhana (Basikal Tua)”, “Balik Kampung”, “Chow Kit Road” dan “Salam Terakhir”. Yang sedihnya penyanyi-penyanyi yang digandingkan, Hazama, Black dan Lan Typewritter seperti tidak memberikan persembahan yang terbaik. Walaupun mereka tidak bertanding di dalam AJL, seharusnya para penyanyi generasi baru ini memberikan perhatian dan kesungguhan yang lebih, juga sebagai tanda hormat pada penghibur generasi terdahulu. Para penari latar di akhir persembahan seperti kehilangan arah dan tidak membantu nilai persembahan. Bak kata orang dulu-dulu “Buat Perabih Boreh”.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208);

Apalagi apabila kita masih sedang hangat membicarakan tentang filem bagaimanakah yang harus dinobatkan sebagai filem yang baik dan apakah kesan filem-filem yang diadaptasi dari novel.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Usaha-usaha sebegini bukanlah satu usaha yang baharu dilakukan di Malaysia. Sebelum ini kita telah ada filem seperti “Langit Petang”(1982) arahan Shahrom Mohd.

ALAF 21 menjelaskan yang Fauziah Ashaari bakal menerima RM50,000 sebagai bayaran royalti dan telah menerima lebih dari RM220,000 bayaran royalti sejak tahun 2002.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Mungkin ini sesuatu yang jarang berlaku di dalam dunia penulisan dan perfileman tanah air.

Filem yang bukan hanya mendapat kutipan tinggi di Indonesia dan Singapura ini juga mencatat kutipan lebih RM15 juta di 22 pawagam di Malaysia pada tahun 2008.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Ada sesetengah penulis menyifatkan novel Nazri M. Annuar sebagai mempersendakan novel-novel cinta di pasaran tetapi diterjemahkan sebagai sebuah novel islam di dalam menjenamakan novel tersebut untuk melariskan jualan.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Jadi adalah tidak benar jika dikatakan yang penonton filem di Malaysia tidak menggemari judul yang bersifat islami. Tetapi mungkin ada benarnya jika dikatakan yang pengarah filem Othman Hafsham sudah tidak dikenali lagi kerana perbezaan generasi. Atau mungkin juga ada benarnya yang Othman Hafsham dan Cinematic membuat pilihan yang tidak tepat pada dua watak utama Gambit Shaifullah dan Melia Aimelia, yang bukan hanya tidak dikenali ramai, malah Gambit pula mempunyai imej yang tidak baik di kalangan penonton, kerana tingkah lakunya sebelum ini. Pendekata, penonton Malaysia bukan hanya menilai lakonan tetapi juga latarbelakang pelakon dan gossip-gossip yang menghujani mereka.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Bagi saya yang tidak mengenali kedua-dua pelakon tersebut dan hanya bersandarkan kepada pengetahuan latarbelakang perfileman Othman Hafsham, pengalaman menonton hanyalah tertumpu kepada bagaimana pelakon-pelakon tersebut membawakan watak masing-masing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Filem yang juga bertemakan makanan ini tidak jauh berbeza dari filem “Papadom”(Afdlin Shauki) dan “Nasi Lemak”(Namawee) yang menampilkan isu pertembungan kaum di Malaysia atau isu “multi-culturalism”.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Mungkin Othman Hafsham yang dikenali kerana filem “Mekanik” di tahun 1983, masih ingin mempertahankan popularitinya sebagai pengarah filem-filem muhibbah, apalagi setelah kita kehilangan tokoh filem muhibbah Yasmin Ahmad.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Kerana itulah juga Othman Hafsham yang untuk sekalian lamanya bertapak di dalam program sitkom televisyen “2+1” dan “Pi Mai Pi Mai Tang Tu”, menampilkan watak-watak Melayu, Cina dan India yang hidup dalam satu ruang lingkup, menampilkan filem “Karipap-karipap Cinta” sebagai sebuah filem yang berunsurkan “multi-culturalism”. Malangnya filem ini seperti masih sangat terpengaruh dengan gaya arahan 1980an dan estetika televisyen yang sangat mendatar lakonan dan kedalaman perwatakan.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Memanglah Othman Hafsham di antara pengarah filem yang disegani di Malaysia, terutamanya di tahun-tahun 1980an selepas membawakan kita filem-filem yang sangat diingati seperti “Adik Manja”, “Mekanik” dan “Rahsia”.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Mungkin Othman Hafsham masih sama dan tidak berubah kehandalannya, tapi kita penonton-penonton filem Melayu yang telah banyak berubah, dari hanya menonton satu atau dua filem Melayu di pawagam dalam setahun dan dipaparkan dengan filem-filem Melayu hitam putih tahun 1950an dan 1960an, kini kita sudah boleh menonton 365 buah filem setahun melalui DVD, pawagam, ASTRO, YouTube di komputer riba atau di telefon gengam.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Kita, penonton filem masakini, sudah tahu menilai filem yang baik dan filem yang ingin ditonton, walaupun kita hanya boleh dibilang sebagai seorang “Film Buff”. Sudah tiba masanya pengeluar dan pengarah filem memandang serius terhadap penonton filem dan tidak memperbodoh-bodohkan mereka.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Dari pengamatan saya, filem “Karipap-karipap Cinta” seperti melonggokkan isu “multi-culturalism” atau muhibbah ini secara terpaksa, melalui rakan serumah yang berketurunan India serta jiran berketurunan Cina. Bukannya skenario sebegini tidak wujud di Malaysia, tetapi pengembangan skripnya sudah berubah dari bukunya. Saya percaya yang isu Islam juga boleh ditemukan dengan isu “multi-culturalism” seperti yang telah hadir dalam filem Yasmin Ahmad.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Jika dilihat pada filem “Ayat-ayat Cinta”, lagu temanya yang sama judulnya dinyanyikan oleh Superstar Indonesia, Rossa dan ditulis oleh komposer handal, Melly Goeslow, lebih melonjakkan lagi populariti filem tersebut.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Berbeza dengan lagu tema filem “Karipap-karipap Cinta” berjudul “Sehabis Baik” yang dinyanyikan oleh Ana Rafali mempunyai nada “indie” yang tidak ada unsur nada popular, sebaliknya hanya menjurus kepada sebilangan kecil peminat muzik. Ini langsung tidak memberikan promosi yang baik kepada bakal penonton filem tersebut.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Pendekata, tidak mudah untuk menghasilkan filem yang baik daripada novel-novel popular dan termashur. Walaupun ianya mempunyai pengikut yang sedia ada, mereka juga mempunyai kayu pengukur yang tersendiri tentang bagaimanakah filem tersebut harus hadir di depan mata mereka. Manakala pihak pengeluar juga harus berdepan dengan isu royalti dan hak milik kreativiti dan cerita asal.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Bagi saya, apa yang paling menarik tentang “Karipap-karipap Cinta” adalah resipinya yang diberikan oleh Nazri M.

Ternyata setiap kumpulan menampilkan gaya yang berbeza walaupun mereka membawa cerita ballet klasik yang sama. Selalunya cerita-cerita ballet ini dipersembahkan mengikut empat musim.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Antara tontonan ballet yang paling tidak dapat dilupakan adalah Romeo &amp;amp; Juliet, koreografi Rudolf Nureyev di Paris Opera, pada tahun 1991, beberapa bulan sebelum Rudulf Nureyev meninggal dunia, dan dari jauh, aku sempat melihat Rudulf Nureyev naik ke pentas. Rudolf, walaupun lambat belajar menari ballet di umur 21, beliau bukan saja menjadi di antara penari ballet terunggul di abad 20, tetapi juga koreografer ballet yang disegani.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Setelah banyak menonton ballet klasik, dan mulai jemu, aku beralih ke arah tarian kontemporari serta pasca-moden. Sebelum pulang ke Malaysia, aku menonton tari contemporary Wild Life yang dipersembahkan oleh London Contemporary Dance Company di London, dan itulah yang terus memberikan inspirasi untuk aku terus pulang berkerja di Sarawak, Borneo. Pertama kali membuat koreografi tari, aku berkolaborasi dengan Chan Layna, seorang penari ballet bertauliah, beliau juga mempunyai sekolah ballet sendiri di Kuching.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Ballet selalunya dimulakan sejak kecil, mungkin sejak dari umur lima tahun, di Malaysia sekolah ballet sering dikunjungi oleh masyarakat Cina. Sekolah-sekolah ini harus mempunyai tauliah dan juga diajar oleh guru-guru bertauliah dan susah untuk ditemui. Kelas-kelas ballet atau tarian lain seringkali membentuk disiplin yang baik dikalangan anak-anak, tetapi sering juga anak-anak memberontak, kerana mereka dipaksa oleh ibu untuk mengambil kelas ballet.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Mungkin itulah juga yang ingin ditampilkan di dalam filem Black Swan, yang seterusnya membuatkan anak itu menghadapi tekanan jiwa. Ballet juga seringkali diasosiasikan dengan masalah bulimia, di mana mereka tidak mahu makan, supaya terus kurus, kerana setiap ballerina harus mempunyai imej yang sedemikian. Sewaktu di Scottish Ballet, aku pernah melihat sendiri gadis-gadis ballerina hanya memakan sebiji buah epal, cokelat Mars dan jus oren untuk makan tengahari mereka.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Sebagai seorang Asia yang mempunyai bentuk badan yang tidak kurus dan tinggi agak sulit untuk menjadi seorang penari ballet, apalagi kalau tidak dibimbing dari kecil, terutamanya untuk gadis-gadis. Apalagi untuk lelaki Asia Tenggara yang harus mengangkat dan menjunjung badan seorang gadis ballerina. Yang paling sulit adalah untuk menari ballet menggunakan point.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Sebenarnya sudah ada bebarapa buah filem yang mengisahkan kesulitan para penari ballet untuk terus bertahan sebagai penari ballet atau terus bertahan sebagai prima ballerina, apalagi setelah umur meningkat seperti di dalam filem Red Shoes (1948), White Nights (1985) lakonan Isabella Rosalini dan Mikail Barishnikov, Centre Stage (2000) tentang American Ballet, The Company 2003) arahan Robert Altman lakonan Neve Campbell, serta Billie Elliot (2000) yang menampilkan kesusahan seorang kanak-kanak Irish untuk mencapai impiannya kerana pendirian orang irish yang bersifat macho.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Mungkin filem ini juga ingin menarik minat para pelajar lelaki untuk menari ballet di United Kingdom dan seluruh dunia. Tarian ballet Swan Lake di dalam filem tersebut dikoreografikan oleh Matthew Bourne, kini terkenal dengan beberapa buah ballet lain termasuk Dorian Gray dan Edward Scissorhands yang menampilkan semua penari lelaki. Ballet Trocadero juga menjadi terkenal dengan balletnya yang menampilkan semua lelaki tetapi sebaliknya mengenakan pakaian wanita. Kumpulan Ballet Trocadero ini juga pernah datang membuat persembahan di Kuala Lumpur beberapa tahun lalu.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Menarik juga melihat seorang penari ballet terkenal Paris Opera, Sylvie Guillem yang menukar arah ke arah contemporary setelah meningkat usianya, bagaimanapun fizikalnya yang luarbiasa membuatkan dia sukar dilupakan walaupun usianya sudah lanjut, pernah menonton secara langsung di Esplanade Singapura dalam karya Sacred Monster koreografi Akram Khan bebarap tahun lalu, beliau seterusnya bekerjasama dengan Russel Malliphant dari United Kingdom dan Robert Lepage serta beberapa yang lain.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Begitu juga dengan Mikail Barrishnikov yang menubuhkan grup tarian kontemporarynya sendiri, White Oak Tree Project. Beliau juga banyak tampil di dalam filem dan rancangan televisyen seperti Sex and the City. Pendekata seseorang penari ballet harus pandai menyesuaikan diri dan mencari sesuatu yang lain untuk lebih bertahan lama, samada menjadi seorang guru ballet atau berubah menjadi koreografer atau juga mencari bidang baru seperti berlakon dan sebagainya.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Black Swan adalah sebuah filem ballet yang menarik, mengabungkan karier seorang penari ballet serta tekanan hidupnya, untuk senantiasa muda dan berada di atas sebagai prima ballerina dan untuk terus kurus dan langsing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Apalagi jika penari ballet tersebut masih berada di dalam usia yang begitu muda dan masih mentah di dalam pengalaman hidup. Ibu selalunya juga menjadi pembimbing atau perosak utama, terutamanya ibu-ibu yang terlalu ambisius tentang kerjaya anaknya. Sebenarnya inilah yang ingin dipaparkan di dalam filem ini. Yang menariknya, filem ini dibikin seperti sebuah seram atau triller yang menyelitkan adegan-adegan pembunuhan serta peristiwa ngeri yang bermain di kepala sang prima ballerina.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent;

Kawan Cina aku pulak cuma cakap “dia ni cuba nak buat filem 1 Malaysia tapi timbulkan banyak kontroversi”. Aku sedari itu bila melihat adanya gambar Adibah Noor, Afdlin Shauki, David Arumugam dan Reshmonu dalam poster. Tapi bila diajak menonton filem itu, terus terang dia menolak menontonya di pawagam “alah, beli DVD aje nanti!”. Tapi ternyata filem ini tak dapat diketepikan begitu saja, apalagi bila ada berita-berita yang kononnya ada pihak yang tidak berpuas hati dengan filem dan pengarahnya, Namawee.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Pertubuhan Gagasan Rakyat Negeri Perak telah membantah penayangan filem itu, yang dikhuatiri memberi kesan negative kepada golongan muda. Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein, Menteri di Kementerian Dalam Negeri (KDN), mengumumkan jika ada pihak yang tidak berpuas hati dengan penayangan filem “Nasi Lemak 2.0” bolehlah mengemukan bantahan mereka kepada pihaknya untuk dinilai memandangkan kementerian itu bertanggungjawab dari segi penapisan filem melalui Bahagian Kawalan Filem KDN. Namawee, dikatakan pernah mencetuskan isu yang tidak boleh diterima rakyat Malaysia, menerbitkan video klip “Negarakuku” yang menghina lagu kebangsaan dan masyarakat Malaysia berbilang kaum.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Kontroversi seterusnya melibatkan filem “Nasi Lemak 2.0″ yang bakal tidak menikmati insentif penolakan cukai sebanyak 20 peratus sebagaimana diterima oleh kebanyakan filem tempatan Malaysia yang lain kerana filem tersebut gagal mendapat status Skim Wajib Tayang. Perbadanan Kemajuan Filem Nasional Malaysia (Finas) telah menjelaskan yang filem “Nasi Lemak 2.0” tidak layak mendapat status Wajib Tayang kerana pandangan prejudis terhadap Namewee yang merupakan pengarah dan pelakon filem tersebut. Walaubagaimanapun, Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz telah memberikan sokongan beliau dan berkata “Nasi Lemak 2.0 adalah sebuah filem 1 Malaysia”.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Filem bergenre komedi yang dibintangi oleh Karen Kong, Afdlin Shauki, Datuk David Arumugam, Reshmonu, Nadine Ann Thomas, Adibah Nor, Pete Teo, Patrick Teoh dan Ho Yuhang ini telah berjaya mendapat kutipan RM4.5 juta selepas dua minggu tayangan. Ianya dibuat dengan peruntukan kurang daripada RM1 juta.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Sewaktu membeli DVD filem ini aku berkali-kali dipastikan “ini DVD original okay, bukan cetak rompak”. Ketika itu juga aku teringatkan filem “Sepet” arahan Yasmin Ahmad yang menampilkan watak sipenjual VCD cetak rompak di pasar malam. Yang menariknya, filem ini bukan saja dilakonkan oleh kalangan pelakon-pelakon yang pernah bekerjasama dengan Allahyarham Yasmin Ahmad, seperti Pete Teoh, Ho Yuhang dan Adibah Noor, filem ini juga bijak mengundang penaja korporat seperti Canon, talipon HTC, minuman beer Tiger serta imej kapalterbang AirAsia. Pendekata, filem yang masih dikategorikan sebagai filem Indie Malaysia ini sudah bijak berkolaborasi dan mendapat pendanaan dari pihak produk konsumer.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Sepanjang filem ini aku tercari-cari imej-imej yang menimbulkan kontroversi seperti yang diwar-warkan. Sebagai sebuah filem Malaysia yang banyaknya menggunakan bahasa Cina dalam pelbagai dialek, walaupun ada menyelitkan bahasa Tamil, Melayu dan pigeon English, pastinya filem ini telah diluliskan oleh Lembaga Penapisan Filem kerana mengikut garispanduan. Mungkin jika adapun imej yang mengganggu sesetengah pihak adalah adegan mabuk meminum tiga botol beer. Jika itulah yang dikontroversikan, kita sebenarnya telah lama dihidangkan dengan iklan-iklan minuman keras setiap kali menonton di pawagam. Maka garis panduan filem kita harus diperjelaskan.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Filem ini sebenarnya adalah sebuah “homage” kepada pembikin-pembikin filem multicultural Malaysia seperti P. Ramlee, Othman Hafsham, Yasmin Ahmad, Mamat Khalid, Afdlin Shauki dan Ho Yuhang. Filem ini juga boleh dilihat sebagai sebuah tribut untuk pembikin-pembikin filem independen Malaysia yang didahulukan dengan filem digital “Lips to Lips” arahan Amir Muhammad.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Selain filem-filem Yasmin Ahmad, filem ini seperti mempunyai hubungannya yang tersendiri dengan filem Stephan Chow dari Hong Kong, Jack Neo dari Singapura serta program masakan terkenal “Iron Chef”. Filem ini juga begitu dekat dengan filem-filem yang bersangkutan dengan makanan seperti “Papadom” oleh Afdlin Shauki serta karya terbaru Othman Hafsham, “Karipap-karipap Cinta”. Imej pahlawan Melayunya serta keperwiraan seorang pendekar juga dekat dengan imej Hang Tuah dan biskut bercokelat Kit Kat. Mungkin Namawee sendiri juga dekat dengan dunia pengiklanan seperti Yasmin Ahmad.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Filem “Nasi Lemak 2.0” ini mempunyai sebuah resipi genre “road movie” yang mencari sebuah kejayaan setelah menghadapi kegagalan hidup di dalam sebuah kehidupan berkareerkan sebagai seorang tukang masak, sekaligus mencari jati diri, siapa dirinya yang sebenar (merujuk kepada kewujudan kaum Cina di Malaysia).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Di sini “Nasi Lemak” bukan hanya menjadi ikon Malaysia, tetapi juga sebagai metafor jati diri bangsa Malaysia, bukan hanya sekadar makanan orang Melayu. Malah nasi lemak itu sendiri juga dilihat sebagai sebuah ikon yang sememangnya beridentitikan multi-kultural Malaysia yang menggabungkan budaya India, Cina dan Melayu.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Apa yang menarik di dalam filem ini bukan hanya pencarian diri dalam Hero Huang sendiri, tetapi juga watak Anak Angkat yang dilakonkan dengan baik sekali oleh Karen Kong serta watak Gong Xi Ning, mak saudaranya. Yang paling jelas adalah pencarian pemenang peraduan masakan untuk menjadi tukang masak di Restoran Gong Xi. Pengarahnya, Namawee, begitu pandai menyelitkan komentar-komentar semasa ke dalam filem ini, seperti adegan wanita upahan untuk memabukkan ayah Karen Kong, Gong Xi Fa, seterusnya menimbulkan skandal seks yang dirakam di dalam video dan dimuatkan ke dalam YouTube dan kemudiannya dinafikan bulat-bulat, adegan Nyonya Baba yang dimasukkan ke dalam genre filem komedi seram, serta komentar tentang lelaki Melayu-Muslim yang tinggal serumah dengan keempat-empat isterinya. Pendekata, kita tidak jemu menonton dari satu adegan ke adegan yang lain, walaupun tidak mampu untuk ketawa.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Jika benarlah filem ini adalah sebuah filem multi-kultur Malaysia atau diwar-warkan sebagai 1 Malaysia, siapakah yang sebenarnya yang menimbulkan kontroversi dan kenapakah hal-hal sedemikian masih terjadi di dalam industri filem.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Garuda, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;em style="border-bottom-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-left-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-right-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); border-top-color: rgb(208, 208, 208); font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;* The views expressed here are the personal opinion of the columnist.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4021561197607212176-5569909263262939883?l=saloranseni.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saloranseni.blogspot.com/feeds/5569909263262939883/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4021561197607212176&amp;postID=5569909263262939883&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4021561197607212176/posts/default/5569909263262939883'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4021561197607212176/posts/default/5569909263262939883'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saloranseni.blogspot.com/2011/11/nasi-lemak-20.html' title='Nasi Lemak 2.0'/><author><name>zubin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00585434185374553156</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_adJKd8h7m3c/SgfHgZ--R1I/AAAAAAAAAnQ/lMHG0TExtsM/S220/DSCF0183.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4021561197607212176.post-8317946531289567701</id><published>2011-11-22T04:21:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-22T04:21:59.369-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Festival Filem Malaysia 24</title><content type='html'>Wow, rupanya dah lebih setahun Aku tak menjenguk ke blog yang satu ini, maklumlah terlalu sibuk dgn fb.

"&gt;Gamelan Melayu (Trengganu-Pahang) - Perang Bugis Makasar, Raja-raja Bugis Johor-Riau-Pahang, Perkahwinan dan Kekuasaan di Tanah Melayu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kertas ini merupakan sebuah himpunan tentang pemikiran dan pencarian hasil dari perbincangan tentang Gamelan Melayu antara saya dan Che Gu Nik Mustapha, ASWARA. Perbincangan bermula dengan bicara tentang buku Gamelan Pahang yang sedang ingin disiapkan oleh pihak Muzium Pahang. Che Gu Nik Mustapha atau lebih dikenali dengan nama Pak Nik adalah orang lama gamelan di Kementerian Kebudayaan (yang lain2 tu tergantung zaman bila, kerana ianya berubah-ubah campurannya, dari belia dan sukan, kepada pelancungan, warisan, kemudiannya informasi, kommunikasi dll), yang dulunya bertugas di Kompleks Budaya Negara yang lebih dikenali sebagai KBN di tahun2 1970an. Saya hanya mempersoalkan apakah bezanya di antara gamelan Jawa, Bali dengan gamelan Melayu?. Apa yang membuatkan gamelan Melayu menjadi istimewa atau mempunyai identiti yang tersendiri?. Sejak bilakah gamelan tersebut yang dulunya dibina oleh raja-raja bugis menjadi Melayu atau digelar Melayu?. Pada saya sendiri, saya memperkatakan yang pabila kita membicarakan tentang kesenian dan kebudayaan klasik, tidak dapat tidak kita harus membicarakan tentang kesultanan, walaupun gamelan dipraktikan dan disebarkan serta digalakkan oleh kegiatan folk dari kalangan rakyat. Oleh itu ianya harus dimulakan dari Perang Bugis Makasar di Sulawesi sewaktu Belanda mulai masuk menjajah di Maluku dan Sulawesi. Seterusnya perjalanan pelarian raja-raja dan putera-putera Bugis menyelusuri pesisir Pulau Bali dan Jawa untuk menyelamatkan diri dari ditangkap Belanda. Tidak dapat tidak perjalanan ini harus didekati dengan perbincangan tentang kegiatan pelayaran dan perlanunan, seperti yang disebut pihak penjajah. Begitu juga dengan perbincangan tentang hubungan kekeluargaan di kalangan kesultanan di seluruh nusantara yang sememangnya mempunyai hubungan samada melalui perkahwinan atau kekuasaan, agama serta perdagangan. Keeratan hubungan ini terjadi akan karena satu rasa silatul-rahim dan kesatuan ummah yang dijalin dari kepercayaan agama Islam. Tarian Gamelan Melayu itu sebenarnya adalah sebuah symbol kesenian Melayu Islam. Mungkin ini juga ada hubungan kaitnya dengan kegiatan keagamaan dan kesusasteraan Raja Ali Haji di Riau. Jelas sekali Tarian Gamelan Melayu, atau Joget Gamelan atau Joget Pahang yang sebenarnya adalah sebuah kegiatan Anti-Kolonial, yang mungkin ada hubungan dengan tarian Bedhoyo dan Serimpi di Jawa Tengah.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="actorName" href="http://www.facebook.com/zubin.mohamad" hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=700011048" style="cursor: pointer;

" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are initiating an independent project entitled Nothing to Declare, an International Contemporary Art Exhibition in Manila, Philippines from 25 October to 25 November 2011 with the possibility of traveling the exhibition to select countries in 2012 and 2013. Nothing to Declare will host a roster of international and local artists. We will also organize teachers’ training workshops, artist talks and group discussions as satellite activities to the program.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In brief, Nothing to Declare revolves around the following interrelated themes:&lt;br /&gt;1. Shifting geographies emerging from diasporas, migrations, overseas work&lt;br /&gt;2. Shifting identities arising from movement, mobility, displacement, exchange; implying a sense of rooted-ness and slippage, identification and estrangement, familiarity and alienation, entitlement and distance&lt;br /&gt;3. Shifting spaces, connoting not just physical relocation, but mental and spiritual dis/position, as well as dislocations, gaps and silences that take place in immediate, virtual and hyper-realities&lt;br /&gt;4. Shifting positions, implying an appreciation of difference and a willingness to dialogue, work together, listen and engage.&lt;br /&gt;5. Shifting power relations, connoting multiple flows and streams of choices, constraints, control and conditions of creation, dissemination and reception&lt;br /&gt;6. Shifting possibilities, connoting transformations and breaking grounds where marginality – of having nothing to declare - IS source of intervention and strength, of loss as well as triumphs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To participate in Nothing to Declare, please send us a proposal of, (preferably recent) artwork you would like to show OR a proposal for new work you will make and would like to exhibit. Include medium resolution (75-100 dpi) photographs or drawings to illustrate your proposal including installation requirements, size of the artwork, medium, etc.&lt;br /&gt;Email proposals and inquiries to nothing2declare@gmail.com by the deadline on 30 August 2010.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For video works, please limit works to only single channel, and since video projection on screens are limited to availability, please allow works that can be displayed on LCD and/or on screen&lt;br /&gt;For photography, works should be printed on aluminum without frames or mounted on foam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Selected artists will be invited to come to Manila. Traveling expenses costs for shipping and insurance of the artworks and minor living expenses will be borne by the artists. We will host accommodations and some meals from 22 October to 7 November 2010.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NOTHING TO DECLARE&lt;br /&gt;Curatorial Brief&lt;br /&gt;Flaudette May V. Datuin&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overview&lt;br /&gt;Nothing to Declare is a Contemporary Art Exhibition aiming to exhibit artworks by international artists, who are enjoined to collaborate and interact, not only with each other but also with their host communities. The pedagogic / educational aspect of the project is an integral component that aims to conduct art educators’ training workshops, essay writing contests and artist talks for children / adolescents in high school and college levels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The tentative target date is 25 October to 25 November 2011, in several venues in Manila, Philippines, with a possibility for the exhibition to travel to some of the participating artists’ countries in 2012 to 2013.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Project Objective&lt;br /&gt;Nothing to Declare is a project that aims to explore the creative process of visual artists who come to Manila with their cultural specificities and span of professional experience that is varied and diversified.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The project is designed to allow selected international artists to mingle with selected local Filipino artists and share their artistic practices and know-how as regards concept and craft.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This exchange among artists provides the starting point for pedagogical, art-critical and art-education activities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nothing to Declare’s exhibition and workshop is expected to be documented in a full color book/catalogue that will comprise critical texts, academic essays, artists’ statements, photo-documentation of the workshop, the community activities as well as of the round-table discussions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Themes and Discourse&lt;br /&gt;Through the selected works of international and Filipino artists, Nothing to Declare will explore issues of identity, gender, migration —broadly defined as movement not just across waters, land, and air, but also across immediate, virtual and hyper realities—and shifting societies. The title pays particular attention to the role of migration in shaping those social changes by continuous movement, a movement characterized by breaks, dislocations, absences, and silences of those who have nothing to declare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an uneven global system where people’s ways of sensing and feeling are de-synchronized and fractured, irreducibly plural, discontinuous and non-homogenous, Nothing to Declare plans to address such phenomena in workshops and round table discussions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Such disjointed perceptions —which become concretely apparent in states of trance, possession, daydreams, jokes, manic and epileptic seizures— can be understood under the thematic of “picnolepsy”, a category we borrow from Paul Virilio to explain experiences that exist as a series of vacancies and absences, configured in shifting and provisional arrangements, rather than coherent unities, ordered and logical thought.[i] This project is thus interested in those picnoleptic vacancies and absences, the un-saids in human perception and the gaps in human experience, particularly of those at the fringes who fall between the cracks of the “real,” the rational and the visible in a global culture of unequal access amidst material excess, of want and poverty amidst waste and plenty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The project’s first stopover and point of entry for engaging with and making sense of these gaps and disappearances is Manila, the capital city of what is referred to as “a nation of nannies,”[ii] of exported overseas workers, whose remittances to those they leave behind supposedly keep the economy afloat. [iii]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Project Location&lt;br /&gt;As pilot site for Nothing to Declare, Manila is place as well as metaphor for understanding a particularly nomadic, migratory sensibility characterized by displacements, of absences, and of slippages, that are lived in very real, concrete, at times painful terms in the everyday. “Livedness” and “lived realities” for these families do not only refer to the immediate, the concrete. In life until death, the bodies of these so-called citizens of the world present concrete examples of contradictions, of absent people who are made present through money coming through the wires, a lifeblood circulating —from birth to death— through impersonal, electronic banking and financial circuits of exchange.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example, there is now a funerary service advertised as “Cyber-Burol” (cyber-wake), where the webcam and the computer can relay images of the bereaved and the dead, a situation where grief and feelings of loss, and pain are played out virtually.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Such virtual realities become very real and pervasive, especially in political circuses, such as elections, which for the first time have become “automated” in 2010 —a development that gives rise to the possibility of failures in elections, a danger that WJT Mitchell[iv] characterized no longer of “things falling apart” —of wars and mass destruction or mass malfunctioning of machines— but of things coming alive: the creation of new, ever-vital, virulent images and life forms: of computer viruses, terrorist sleeper cells, of warlord cells, of smart bombs, and in the case of Philippine elections, of automated Garcis (short for Garcillano, the election commissioner linked to the vote rigging in the presidential elections that in 2004).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Similar circus elections and migration of labor phenomena are found in the homeland of some of the invited artists, from Egypt as a sample of Middle East countries to several Latin American and African nations. Nothing to Declare takes careful note of these movements across realities: movements where copies and objects that, despite or maybe because of having nothing to declare, nonetheless have realities and lives of their own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As site of political and cultural power, Manila is the seat of the nation-state, one that is constantly challenged by political, cultural and social forces within and without. As source of exported labor and goods, Manila exists in the margins of global politics and economy as well as in relative geographic isolation from the rest of mainland Southeast Asia’s capital cities. However, as port of entry to the rest of the Philippine Islands, Manila is also the junction towards the rest of Asia. As the first destination for Nothing to Declare, Manila becomes a meeting place where people from various points of origin can work together, listen and tell stories of loss and leavings, as well as gains and triumphs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nothing to Declare is thus a contribution to contemporary discussion on migration, not only of people across borders, but of forms and realities across time and space, with the dysfunctional city of Manila as initial site. But instead of the subaltern who cannot speak[v], the project focuses on those who have nothing to declare –those whose marginality is source of intervention and strength, of subterfuge and resistance, of constraint as well as change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[i] Paul Virilio.

Tetapi sewaktu menonton aku tak tahu keluarga ni berada di Taiping atau di Taipei, mungkin kerana settingnya yang buat dalam aura kontemporari dengan sebuah gerbang merah yang agak simpel dan dibelakangnya dipaparkan tayangan slide - bunga berkembang yang mula dari kuncupnya serta awan gelap yang berarak sewaktu berlaku ribut besar. Dengarnya drama ini diadaptasi oleh Rohani Yusouff. Aku pernah terbaca Ribut terjemahan Shakespeare ini pernah dipentaskan di Taman Budaya Kuala Lumpur dalam suasana yang lebih dekat kepada Tempest yang asal. Tempest juga pernah dipentaskan di Lambang Sari keluaran Teater Kini kepunyaan Datin Sabera Shaik tidak berapa tahun lalu. Alangkan eloknya kalau kita melihat semuanya dan membuat suatu perbandingan agar dapat kita belajar sesuatu darinya. Apapun, apa yang dapat aku katakan tentang teater Ribut di ASWARA ini adalah penampilan pelakon-pelakon wanita yang hebat, bukan kerana semua pandai menangis, tapi kerana lakonan mereka boleh dirasakan, apalagi pakaian mereka yang lebih dekat dengan jiwa yang dilakonkan. Tapi apapun tahniah kepada pelajar-pelajar yang dinilai kerana mementaskan penilaian akhir mereka untuk tatapan umum, sayangnya kita tak boleh memberikan markah dari perspektif penonton. Tapi nanti banyak pulak kerja penilai nak mengira dan menghitung markah mereka. Selamat maju jaya dan terus berteater dan menghasilkan naskah-naskah baru serta adaptasi karya-karya nasional dan internasional.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial, fantasy;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial, fantasy;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:sans-serif, -webkit-fantasy;font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4021561197607212176-8255798340935164841?l=saloranseni.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saloranseni.blogspot.com/feeds/8255798340935164841/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4021561197607212176&amp;postID=8255798340935164841&amp;isPopup=true' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4021561197607212176/posts/default/8255798340935164841'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4021561197607212176/posts/default/8255798340935164841'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saloranseni.blogspot.com/2010/04/ribut-di-aswara-sebelum-masuk-lambang.html' title='&quot;RIBUT&quot; di ASWARA Sebelum Masuk Lambang Sari Untuk &quot;JU &amp; MEO&quot;'/><author><name>zubin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00585434185374553156</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_adJKd8h7m3c/SgfHgZ--R1I/AAAAAAAAAnQ/lMHG0TExtsM/S220/DSCF0183.JPG'/></author><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4021561197607212176.post-5267952590895704063</id><published>2010-03-22T16:39:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-03-22T16:49:20.568-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Ada Seminar Warisan Perak di Ipoh Pada Hari Ini</title><content type='html'>Saya baru sedar, lebik kurang setahun lalu, saya poskan catatan dan petikan tentang Perak ini di blog svarnabhumi.blogspot, tapi itulah yang sedang dibincangkan bersama2 pelajar2 Teori Kesenian Tradisional di ASWARA dan pada masa yang sama di kelas lain ada perbincangan Pengajian Budaya 2 yang membincangkan Post-Kolonialism dan Feminism.

Walaubagaimanapun himpunan ini masih berada di dalam peringkat awal tulisan. Tapi mungkin juga himpunan ini boleh menjadi pemanggil untuk diskusi tentang gender dan feminiti serta feminism dalam "Visual Culture" negeri Perak. Kenapa negeri Perak menjadi pilihan? Mungkin kerana perbincangan terbaru membawa saya untuk berfikir dalam bidang arkeologi yang terus menerus memanggil-manggil ke arah Perak Man, suatu diskoveri yang menarik untuk Malaysia. Tapi rasanya masih ramai rakyat Malaysia yang kurang mengerti tentang itu. Saya juga pernah melihat sebuah buku berjudul "Java Man", mungkin satu masa kita akan sampai ke situ, untuk mengadakan sebuah buku dalam skala general untuk orang awam lebih mengerti tentang apa dia Perak Man. Kemudian kita pula dihadirkan dengan sebuah penemuan arkeologi terbaru Perak Woman. Ini juga sebenarnya memanggil saya untuk menegatakan sesuatu atau setidak-tidaknya mencari kaitannya dengan isu gender, feminism dan feminiti di Malaysia. Ini membuatkan saya terpanggil.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Rumah Kutai Perak adalah dari jenis bumbung panjang. Keistimewaan reka bentuknya &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;adalah kerana ia lebih etnik dan ringkas. Reka bentuk ini juga dikenali sebagai rumah kutai. &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Rumah ini masih terdapat di negeri Perak dan telah berusia lebih 100 tahun. Antaranya di &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Kampung Sayong Lembah, Kuala Kangsar, Kampung Kota Lama Kanan dan Kampung &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Bota Kanan, Parit. Rumah Kutai Perak menggunakan sepenuhnya bahan binaan semula &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;jadi yang terdapat di sekeliling kampung. Struktur asas adalah kayu keras manakala atap &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;dibuat dari daun rumbia dan dinding pelupuh dari anyaman buluh atau rotan. Rumah ini&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;mempunyai bumbung yang agak tinggi, tetapi terdapat sedikit keunikan dari segi &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;keterbukaan rumah ini. Ia seolah-olah tidak mempunyai pengudaraan yang baik dan &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;mencukupi. Dinding rumah mencapai ke paras rabung atap tanpa diselangi kerawang atau &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;seumpamanya. Ini disebabkan dinding itu sendiri tembus angin, maka ianya tidak perlu&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;hiasan kerawang dan  sikap rendah diri penghuni rumah ini. Keringkasan reka bentuk &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;menunjukkan yang rumah kutai adalah untuk orang biasa berbanding rekaan lain yang &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;lebih moden dan canggih seperti bumbung limas dan bumbung Perak. Rumah ini &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;menyaksikan beberapa unsur seni struktur yang agak menarik, ringkas dan mempunyai &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;fungsinya tersendiri.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Rumah ibu mempunyai bumbung yang tertinggi. Ia turut menempatkan atau berfungsi &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;sebagai serambi di bahagian depan dan sebuah bilik. Di sebelah kiri bilik terdapat ruang&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;seakan serambi menyamai bahagian serambi utama di sebelah kanan, mungkin ianya &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;adalah untuk ahli keluarga perempuan. Rumah ibu mempunyai tingkap menghala ke rumah &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;dapur. Rumah ibu dipisahkan atau dihubungkan oleh selang yang lebih terbuka. Selang &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;mempunyai ketinggian yang sedikit rendah, sekitar 15cm sehingga 30cm dari aras rumah &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;ibu dan rumah dapur. Rumah dapur menempatkan segala peralatan memasak dan ruang &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;makan. Ia dihubungkan oleh selang untuk ke rumah ibu. Di penghujung rumah dapur &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;terdapat pelantar, berfungsi sebagai tempat penyediaan makanan dan ruang letak untuk &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;hasil dari kebun atau sungai.

Apakah kita mempunyai sejarah perdagangan dan kesultanan serta perkahwinan atau migrasi dari Kutei. Jika ada, inilah yang kita perlu cari, tarikh dan zamannya, siapakah orang yang bertanggungjawab membawa bentuk tersebut ke Perak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-size:medium;"&gt;Di bahagian utara pantai barat Semenanjung Malaysia iaitu di Perlis, Kedah, Pulau Pinang &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;dan Perak, rumah bumbung panjang amat terkenal. Bumbungnya agak tinggi dan curam&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;dan lazimnya mempunyai tiga bahagian rumah iaitu serambi, ibu rumah dan &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;dapur. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-size:medium;"&gt; (http://malay.cari.com).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Rumah Ibu dari rumah dapur dengan selang yang terbuka. Rumah ibu mempunyai tingkap &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;menghala ke rumah dapur. Di penghujung rumah dapur terdapat pelantar untuk kegunaan &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;penyediaan makanan atau ruang letak untuk hasil dari kebun dan sungai. Rumah ini &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;mempunyai beberapa unsur seni struktur yang agak menarik, ringkas dan mempunyai &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;fungsinya tersendiri(http://malaysiana.pnm/senibina). &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-family:arial;"&gt;Dari kata Rumah Ibu, jelas bahawa di dalam budaya kita Ibu merupakan Induk yang begitu penting. Apakah ini mempunyai hubungan dengan budaya matriachal seperti di Minangkabau atau di Champa yang akhirnya juga mempengaruhi negeri Kelantan dan wilayah Pattani di Selatan Thai, di mana wanita menjadi begitu penting di dalam sistem pemerintahan dan perniagaan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "&gt;A century ago, this house was built on the banks of the Perak River in Kampong Ngior, &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Tanjong Blanja, now known as Parit. Little of its history is known, although family tradition&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;suggested that it was built by Maharaja Lela, the assassin of Birch, the British resident of &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Perak, in 1875. Supposedly Maharaja Lela substituted a slave to be hanged in his stead&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;and went into exile, but later came back and built the house. Coins found under the principal &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;pillars of the house during the restoration, placed there according to custom, are dated 1901 &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;and indicate that the lapse was too long for this story to be likely. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; font-family:arial;"&gt;Dato Maharaja Lela sememangnya menjadi ikon kepada pemberontakan Inggeris di Tanah Melayu selain Tok Janggut di Kelantan, Dato Bahaman di Pahang dan beberapa orang lagi. Ini adalah satu usaha untuk membesar-besarkan pemikiran anti-kolonial, dan sebenarnya bukanlah bersifat post-kolonial atau masih di dalam pembentukan sebuah pemikiran ke arah itu.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "&gt;&lt;p align="left" style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; height: 551px; overflow-x: visible; overflow-y: visible; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.rimbundahan.org/architecture/rumah_uda_manap/inhabitants.jpg" style="color: rgb(191, 39, 126); font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.rimbundahan.org/architecture/rumah_uda_manap/inhabitants_sm.jpg" alt="Previous inhabitants of Rumah Uda Manap, from a photograph still kept in the house." width="132" height="175" hspace="10" border="0" align="right" style="border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;It is more likely that Uda Manap built the house for his bride, Ngah &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Porbu, who came from Indonesia in the 1890's to marry him. She was &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;a wealthy woman who brought with her beautiful textiles and &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;household artifacts. As the local custom, or adat, prescribes that &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;property is held by women, the house should rightly be known as &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Rumah Ngah Porbu. Ngah died in 1946 and left the house to her &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;granddaughter who apparently married the grandson of Maharaja &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Lela. She died in the '80s and left the house to her youngest daughter &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Rohani.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The house was built by Chinese craftsmen from Indonesia, at a time when the Perak River &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;was the main thoroughfare into the hinterland and the village was wealthy from the tin trade.&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The wooden shingle roof timber can only have come from Sumatra where belian wood is &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;found.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The house, made of durable indigenous hard woods, is typical of Perak in its form and &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;layout, but its decoration is unusual. Carved wall panels and window shutters feature&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Chinese motifs, dragons and calligraphic characters combined with flowers and birds. The &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;lightness of the carving, necessary because of the extreme hardness of the wood, is &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;balanced by the brightly coloured lime based paint (kapor) that highlights the design.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left" style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; height: 836px; overflow-x: visible; overflow-y: visible; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;By the time the house was moved to Rimbun Dahan in 1998, it was derelict. The roof and &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;floors had collapsed and much of the diagonal wall paneling was rotted and broken, but &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;most of the structural members were sound. All timbers, carvings and shutters were &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;numbered and photographed before dismantling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The rooms behind the rumah ibu were not worth salvaging, they had been built of inferior &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;materials and lacked the decorative detail of the front. They were measured and&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;documented from the remains, but nothing was relocated from this portion except for some &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;carvings and a pair of doors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Wherever possible, old timber was used in the restoration. The floor timbers are from other &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;houses demolished in Perak (note the saw milling marks), but the new belian roof shingles &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;had to be brought from Sarawak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The present layout follows the original with these modifications:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;· The main entrance was moved to the opposite side to suit the new site. The porch roof, &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;which was added later to the original was roofed in belian.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;· The ceiling shape was changed to follow the roof line, originally it didn't do so and possibly &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;concealed a hiding place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;· The window shutters were reversed to display the single sided decoration on the outside &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;while they are open during the day, and on the inside at night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;· The selang sloped down to the back, leading to a large room and a roofed dapur, or &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;kitchen. In the present house, the selang is flat (the dining room) and leads to the new &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;kitchen, a staircase, and a back bedroom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;· The roofless veranda was originally another room, but the house was already big enough &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;for Rimbun Dahan's purposes. The verandah's footprint does, however, record the size and &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;the floor level of the original.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;· A pair of doors on the original selang walls led to a lost staircase/ladder, so the doors have &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;been reused at the ground level entrance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;· A new toilet and shower were added below the new kitchen. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left" style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; height: 898px; overflow-x: visible; overflow-y: visible; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://www.rimbundahan.org/architecture/rumah_uda_manap/plan.JPG" width="500" height="209" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The modern kitchen retains the open roofed shelves typical of the period. Unlike the original, &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;the new house has water and electricity. The light fittings in the main room are from the '30s&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;and were bought in Malacca, as was the furniture. The light switches are Australian, &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;manufactured for restoration of Federation houses. (Coincidentally, Federation was also in&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;1901). Two items were found in the derelict house and restored: the tall room divider with &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;drawers and open shelves, and the desk in the smallest room off the rumah ibu, where prints &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;of Birch's death and the manhunt (Illustrated London News of the 1870s) are displayed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://www.rimbundahan.org/architecture/rumah_uda_manap/kghousenewwindow.JPG" align="left" alt="View through main room window after renovations" hspace="10" vspace="10" width="123" height="246" /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-size:medium;"&gt;The internal carvings did not need repainted and they remain an important example of the quality of the original decoration. The external carvings had lost almost all traces of colour, but enough remained to guide the restoration. The external blue could only be matched by using laundry blueing bags (nila), the traditional colour source. The same blue was used on many old buildings in Penang such as the Cheong Fatt Sze Mansion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-size:medium;"&gt;Helen Crawford, the Australian resident artist at Rimbun Dahan during the restoration, designed the new carved panels outside the selang to reflect the house's new purpose. The motifs are Australian and contemporary: the sulphur crested cockatoo and Sturt's Desert Pea are well known examples of Australian fauna and flora; the biawak, or monitor lizard, is a current resident of the garden, and grape vines and vegetables acknowledge the &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;present use as a dining room. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left" style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; height: 95px; overflow-x: visible; overflow-y: visible; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The house is used as accommodation for the Rimbun Dahan residency programme for &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;artists and writers. As a guest house for people working in the arts, architecture, sustainable &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;development and conservation, it will be experienced by many people in the century to &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;

"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Pakaian adalah aspek budaya yang membuktikan kewibawaan adat istiadat wilayah &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;budaya Melayu. Pakaian cara Melayu yang pertama kali disebut pada abad ke-16 adalah &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;kesinambungan pola asas yang berkembang di istana Kerajaan Melayu Melaka pada &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;zaman keagungannya di Kepulauan Melayu. Pemakaiannya tidak berkembang di istana &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Kerajaan Melayu Melaka pada zaman keagungannya di Kepulauan Melayu. Pemakaiannya &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;tidak berkembang di Semenanjung Tanah Melayu dan Sumatera sahaja, malah ke Brunei &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;dan Sulawesi. Walaupun di sana sini ada unsur luar yang digunakan tetapi ia digabungkan &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;secara harmoni.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; height: 304px; overflow-x: visible; overflow-y: visible; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Di sinilah ditemui persamaan ciri reka bentuk pakaian wilayah budaya Melayu seperti baju &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;kurung Palembang, baju kurung Melayu-Brunei dan baju panjang Minangkabau yang&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;umumnya dikenal sebagai baju teluk belanga. Keistimewaan konsep pakaian cara Melayu &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;dibuktikan dengan wujudnya ciri reka bentuk pakaian tradisional Melayu yang diterima&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;sebagai salah satu identiti budaya Melayu. Perbandingan pola baju Melayu kurung Johor &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;dengan pakaian Cik Siti Wan Kembang dan Puteri Perak lebih memperlihatkan&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;kesinambungan pengaruh dua unsur utama yang menyerap masuk melalui perkembangan &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;sejarah dan budaya. Pakaian Cik Siti Wan Kembang adalah warisan budaya Seriwijaya,&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;manakala Puteri Perak pula adalah kesan asimilasi budaya Melayu-Aceh. Kini kedua-dua &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;pakaian ini adalah simbol kebesaran yang dijadikan pakaian adat.

The cave that was his final resting place is called Gua Gunung Runtuh and is &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;situated in Bukit Kepala Gajah or Elephant's Head Hill in the Lenggong Valley. The &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;skeleton has been dated at between 10-11,000 years old, which makes him a Stone Age&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;man, from the Palaeolithic period. It is believed he was an important member of his tribe &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;judging by the way he was buried, in a foetal position, accompanied by stone tools. He was &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;about 157cm tall and probably aged between 30-55 when he died. Perak Woman was found &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;more recently in 2004.

Saya ingat, kami biasa berkumpul di depan rumah tua yang tidak ditempati, memanfaatkan beranda dan tangga batu sebagai bagian dari panggung. Sebagian dari kami memerankan dan sebagian lagi memutuskan untuk jadi penonton, duduk di lantai menghadap tangga. Kami menari, menyanyi, memainkan upacara-upacara perkawinan, kelahiran dan kematian. Kadang-kadang kami bahkan memainkan wayang kulit, dengan membuat wayang-wayang sendiri, menggunakan sebuah meja makan sebagai panggung teater dan sprei putih sebagai layar. Semua ruang-ruang pentas ini menghilang tepat waktu kami dipanggil untuk makan malam. Pada hari-hari lain, kami menggunakan ruang-ruang yang berbeda, tapi kenangan terhadap ruang-ruang istimewa tersebut akan selalu ada di sana. Bukan saja kenangan akan sebuah ruang yang nyata, tapi tentang apa yang diambil dalam ruang itu.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 7.7px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 28.4px; font: 12.0px Times New Roman"&gt;Ruang lainnya yang menarik adalah pasar akhir pekan di depan rumah, yang berubah jadi lapangan bola basket atau bulu tangkis pada suatu malam atau menjadi pentas pertunjukan wayang kulit pada malam lainnya, atau juga pelataran ronggeng (tari pergaulan Melayu yang dimainkan di halaman) pada hari besar lainnya. Di beberapa desa tetangga, mereka mendirikan sebuah bangunan khusus dan menyebutkannya “balai serba guna” dan tak banyak yang terjadi kemudian. Hal yang sama terjadi pada pasar gelap kami ketika kantor distrik memutuskan untuk membangun tempat resmi seperti balai serba guna. Semuanya hilang, hanya bangunan yang tersisa. Mengapa peristiwa-peristiwa ini hilang bersamaan dengan menjadi formalnya ruang? Barangkali ini benar-benar nyata dalam kasus kota-kota di Asia. Pada saat yang bersamaan kita menginginkan peristiwa dan sekaligus ruang yang akan dikenal secara resmi. Atau ini sekedar kebetulan ketika apa yang kita namakan komunitas kebudayaan hilang bersamaan dengan munculnya teknologi modern seperti televisi, gedung bioskop dan lain sebagainya.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 7.7px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 28.4px; font: 12.0px Times New Roman; min-height: 15.0px"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; font: 12.0px Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ruang dan Makna&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 7.7px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 28.4px; font: 12.0px Times New Roman; min-height: 15.0px"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 7.7px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 28.4px; font: 11.0px Times New Roman"&gt;Ruang adalah sesuatu yang di dalamnya terdapat semua objek nyata dan bergerak, adalah jarak antara dua objek atau lebih, wilayah atau isi, seperti ruang-ruang terbuka misalnya dataran yang belum dibangun, tempat atau wilayahayang terbatas atau tidak didiami, juga merupakan sebuah periode masa yang dibentuk dengan ruang-ruang teratur di tengah-tengahnya. Ruang memiliki peristiwa dan masa beserta kenangan dan sejarahnya sendiri, terhapus dan tertulis kembali, berulang-ulang. Yang tersisa adalah lapisan tertinggi atau peristiwa yang paling terkesan. (Noguchi, 1994)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 7.7px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 28.4px; font: 12.0px Times New Roman; min-height: 15.0px"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 7.7px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 28.4px; font: 12.0px Times New Roman"&gt;Makalah ini memandang ruang-ruang dan ekspresinya dari perspektif historis, budaya, komunitas, tradisional, modern. Juga akan membicarakan lebih jauh lagi mengenai ruang-ruang resmi kenegaraan fungsi serta ekspresinya, demikian juga dengan ruang-ruang tidak resmi dan tidak representatif dari ruang resmi tradisional, ruang publik kontemporer, ruang-ruang konvensional dan modern. Secara tradisional, ruang-ruang terbagi ke dalam tipe-tipe utama: ruang-ruang kerajaan atau kenegaraan atau politik, ruang-ruang dagang dan ruang-ruang komunitas. Dua tipe ruang yang pertama telah didiskusikan Anthony Reid dalam&lt;i&gt; Southeast Asia in Age of Commerce 1450-1680.&lt;/i&gt; Ruang politis jadi tampak seperti ini:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 7.7px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 28.4px; font: 12.0px Times New Roman; min-height: 15.0px"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; font: 11.0px Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;span style="font: 12.0px Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Dengan mementaskan perayaan-perayaan luar biasa yang didalamnya terdapat ribuan orang berpartisipasi, pemerintah sepenuhnya sangat menunjuk dirinya sendiri sebagai titik tumpu supernatural keliling yang panggungnya diputar. Festival-festival kerajaan dan keagamaan memberikan kesempatan bagi pemerintah untuk memperlihatkan dirinya sendiri di hadapan rakyat dalam seluruh kekuasaannnya, dengan para anggota istana, pegawai, prajurit, pengikut dan bahkan orang asing; semuanya menentukan tempatnya sendiri di dalam perayaan. Perayaan-perayaan termasuk: penobatan keluarga kerajaan, pernikahan, penguburan, ritual-ritual pendewasaan, festival-festival religius tahunan, upacara-upacara dan festival-festival untuk menjaga kesuburan dan keselamatan negara…&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; font: 12.0px Times New Roman; min-height: 15.0px"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0px; font: 12.0px Times New Roman"&gt;Pasar dideskripsikan Reid sebagai berikut:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; font: 12.0px Times New Roman; min-height: 15.0px"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0px; font: 11.0px Times New Roman"&gt;Banyak pasar tumbuh sebagai bagian dari festival-festival besar. Semacam perhimpunan kuat masyarakat yang di dalam diri mereka sendiri terdapat sebuah jaminan ramainya perdagangan makanan dan esensi-esensi lainnya. Hal ini dimungkinkan ketika rakyat kota memanfaatkan pasar-pasar ini untuk membeli kemegahan mewah tahunan untuk tahun depan. Pemunculan periodik mereka di kota juga dapat menjadi kesempatan untuk menghadirkan upeti dan hasil panen yang wajib dibagi pada saat perayaan-perayaan atau festival-festival keagamaan di akhir masa panen padi…&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; font: 12.0px Times New Roman; min-height: 15.0px"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; font: 12.0px Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Ruang komunitas tradisional, dapat termasuk Ruai, rumah panjang Dayak di Kalimantan. Seperti yang digambarkan Charles Hose dalam &lt;i&gt;The Natural Man&lt;/i&gt; (1988), Ruai adalah ruang tamu terbuka dalam rumah panjang.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; font: 12.0px Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Rumah panjang umumnya terdiri dari beberapa kamar atau rumah berjumlah ganjil (lebih dari lima dan bahkan sampai dua puluh lima atau lebih) bersambung dengan rumah di tengah yang merupakan rumah kepala suku. Rumah panjang dianggap sebagai ruang politik dalam komunitas tradisional. Ruai seringkali digunakan dalam Gawai (festival-festival panen), kelahiran, kematian, pernikahan, menerima tamu dan bersuka ria. Sering kali, upacara akan dimulai dari rumah kepala suku dan kepala suku bahkan akan pertama kali menari  untuk memulai perputaran bola.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; font: 12.0px Times New Roman; min-height: 15.0px"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; font: 12.0px Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Perubahan Ruang&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0px; font: 12.0px Times New Roman"&gt;Akibat kolonialisasi, modernisasi dan urbanisasi, ruang-ruang dan strata ruang-ruang tersebut di negara-negara Asia terutama Asia Tenggara, berubah bentuk, fungsi dan ekspresi. Istana Sultan Kutai di Kalimantan Timur, misalnya, berubah menjadi kantor administrasi Belanda selama masa-masa kolonial. Bersama kemerdekaan, kantor itu berubah menjadi kantor gubernur. Bersama industrialisasi, berubah menjadi museum, dan bersama turisme dan penelitian budaya, Sultan Kutai mengunjungi istana itu dan merayakan hari ulang tahunnya di sana. Barangkali semua itu sangat aneh baginya, karena beliau tidak pernah tinggal dan merayakan ulang tahunnya di sana sebelumnya.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0px; font: 12.0px Times New Roman"&gt;Sanam Luang (lapangan kenegaraan), sebuah ruang terbuka di depan Istana Agung di Bangkok, pada saat ini, dari sebuah lapangan bermain layang-layang pada musim berangin, dengan orang-orang bertebaran di sekelilingnya berpiknik setelah melewati hari kerja yang melelahkan, berubah menajdi lapangan lain untuk permainan-permainan cinta, romansa, pesona dan prostitusi, kelak pada malam hari. Ketika malam hampir larut, halaman yang dinaungi pohon-pohon rimbun tersebut menjadi tempat bagi plra tuna wisma. Kadang-kadang tempat itu menjadi tuan rumah upacara keselamatan anggota kerajaan seperti misalnya perayaan Ulang Tahun Raja dan Hari Cocok Tanam dan Kerajaan. Di sekitar ruang terbuka ini, terdapat beragam ruang kenegaraan lainnya seperti Museum Nasional. Galeri Nasional, Universitas Silapakorn, Universitas Thammasart, Gedung Teater Nasional, Sekolah Tinggi Seni Drama, Hotel Royal (hotel pertama di Bangkok) dan kantor-kantor pemerintah. Ruang mungkin bermakna satu hal bagi pemerintah dan lain hal bagi masyarakat. Yang terpenting ia menyatakan pada kita bahwa ruang ini membebaskan dirinya sendiri selama berabad-abad lampau.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0px; font: 12.0px Times New Roman"&gt;Richard Engelhart, Direktur UNESCO untuk Asia Pasifik, berkedudukan di Bangkok, menyinggung bahwa Sanam Luang  dulu merupakan pasar akhir pekan di Bangkok, mungkin lima belas tahun yang lalu. Kandang-kandang dibangun di sekitar lapangan, dengan ruang di tengah yang menjadi ruang bermain untuk perlombaan-perlombaan kompetisi kicauan burung di pagi hari, arena-arena tinju, permainan layang-layang di waktu senja dan pertunjukan-pertunjukan menarik yang dipentaskan pada malam hari. Hal ini dikonfirmasikan oleh seorang teman Thailand yang telah menetap di New York, menceritakan tentang masa kanak-kanaknya kepada saya, pergi mengelilingi pasar akhir pekan di Sanam Luang, menonton pertunjukan-pertunjukan dan beristirahat menuju Hotel Royal dengan keluarganya untuk mengudap limun dingin. Pada Senin pagi, lapangan kembali seperti biasa, tanpa jejak-jejak kejadian selama akhir pekan. Kini pasar akhir pekan telah pindah ke Chatuchak, barangkali merupakan pasar terbesar di dunia, menarik minat ribuan orang selama akhir pekan. Dikelola oleh Bangkok Metropolitan Authority (BMA). Saat ini dipromosikan oleh Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) sebagai salah satu atraksi khusus Bangkok yang menjual apapun, dari pasir sampai patung-patung. Bangunan pasar berdiri di sana selama tujuh hari dalam sepekan namun ia hanya menjadi ramai selama Sabtu dan Minggu. Sesuatu yang hilang dalam pasar akhir pekan adalah seni pertunjukan, sebagian disebabkan waktu, karena buka di pagi hari dan tutup sekitar pukul enam atau tujuh malam. Chatuchak juga bukan semacam tempat lingkup bertetangga, melainkan sekedar pasar, sementara Sanam Luang lebih dari sekedar pasar, ia merupakan sebuah tempat yang dikelilingi orang-orang nyata termasuk para seniman. Mungkin akan ada pertunjukan-pertunjukan di Chatuchak di masa yang akan datang.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0px; font: 12.0px Times New Roman"&gt;Di masa lalu, pertunjukan-pertunjukan dilakukan bersama-sama oleh para penari, musisi dan tukang obat dalam lapangan pasar untuk menghibur para pedagang, saudagar dan publik serta sekaligus mendatangkan uang bagi mereka sendiri. Sangat sering, para seniman pertunjukan ini merupakan pengembara-pengembara dari tempat-tempat lain dan bukan kelompok seniman istana. Selama dua tahun terakhir, The European Union di Bangkok  telah menyelenggarakan Teater Jalanan di dekat Tha Pra Chan, mengumpulkan berbagai kelompok teater yang datang dari Eropa untuk melakukan pertunjukan-pertunjukan di jalan-jalan lama di Bangkok. Mereka pasti telah terilhami oleh Phra Atit Road Festival yang pertama kali diselenggarakan oleh Hemlock Cafe; Gallery, mengumpulkan para seniman, para l lusan Universitas Silapakorn dan seniman-seniman pertunjukan dari daerah sekitarnya. Yang menarik adalah menyaksikan pertunjukan-pertunjukan yang dilakukan oleh beragam seniman Thai. Beberapa tahun yang lalu, kita menyaksikan mahasiwa-mahasiswa melakukan pertunjukan-pertunjukan sebagai semacam protes terhadap pemerintah. Mahasiswa-mahasiswa Indonesia, Thailand dan Filipina dikenal dengan hal ini. Mereka memilih ruang-ruang untuk demonstrasi dan drama mereka.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0px; font: 12.0px Times New Roman"&gt;Akhir-akhir ini, BMA terinspirasi untuk membuat sebuah festival jalanan dengan menutup Maitri Chit Road dekat kawasan Pecinan di Bangkok. Mereka menyewa seorang konsultan sebagai penyelenggara tapi ini berakhir sebagai pasar akhir pekan. Banyak pengendara sepeda motor mengeluh tentang penutupan jalan-jalan dan kemacetan lalu lintas. About Cafe Gallery, dikenal karena kegiatan-kegiatan trendi dan perayaan-perayaannya, telah terjebak dengan semua ini, jadi harus mengubah pintu masuk biasanya (syukurlah karena memiliki pintu masuk samping) dan terperangkap di tengah-tengah kebisingan musik jalanan. Bagaimana menyesuaikan dengan semua ini? Apakah kita melakukan pendekatan dengan semua hal ini secara tepat? Atau apakah kita telah dengan mudah terpesona dengan lembaga kota yang menutup jalan bagi para pejalan kaki tanpa memikirkan akses dan tempat parkir bagi para pengunjung? Meskipun pertunjukan di About Cafe; memiliki banyak penonton, sebagian besar masyarakat berbalik menghindari kemacetan lalu lintas dan menghilang di rute-rute langsung. Meskipun pertunjukan seharusnya terbentuk olah kebutuhan-kebutuhan publik, pengelolaan pertunjukan merupakan hal yang krusial. Tidak mudah untuk menyesuaikan dengan ruang non-konvensional, baik bagi ruang itu sendiri maupun penonton. Terutama sewaktu penonton digabungkan dengan berbagai persepsi, para seniman pertunjukan perlu memiliki sikap yang tepat terhadap ruang dan penonton.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; font: 12.0px Times New Roman; min-height: 15.0px"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; font: 12.0px Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Membangun Ruang&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0px; font: 12.0px Times New Roman; min-height: 15.0px"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0px; font: 11.0px Times New Roman"&gt;Sejak masa pemerintahan Raja Chulalongkorn, pertunjukan-pertunjukan dramatik Thai disajikan baik di atas pentas terbuka maupun panggung temporer, dengan atau tanpa atap, dibangun pada lokasi-lokasi festival, pekan raya, penguburan atau upacara-upacara atau acara-acara sosial lainnya. (Rutnin, 1996)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0px; font: 12.0px Times New Roman; min-height: 15.0px"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0px; font: 12.0px Times New Roman"&gt;Menurut Mattani M. Rutnin, panggung-panggung temporer ini telah disinggung sejak awal periode Bangkok sebagai ‘Rong Lakhon’ (gedung teater). Hanya pada akhir masa pemerintahan Raja Chulalongkorn terdapat beragam gedung teater pribadi yang dibangun dalam istana-istana para pangeran dan putri dan rumah-rumah megah yang mewah milik para aristokrat. Adalah raja Vajiravudh, raja berdaulat berpendidikan Inggris, yang membangun konstruksi gedung teater modern Siam. Setelah beberapa lawatannya ke Eropa, Amerika dan Jepang pada awal tahun 1900-an, beliau mendirikan sebuah gedung teater mini bergaya Barat di halaman Istana Saranrom. Gedung teater permanen pertama dibangun di Dusit Park, dan dinamakan Royal Theatre, Dusit Park. Kelak ketika beliau menjadi raja, gedung tersebut berubah menjadi National Theatre. Raja Vajiravudh, yang mencintai teater dan kesusasteraan membangun banyak gedung teater yang disatukan dengan rumah-ruamh peristirahatan musim panasnya di luar Bangkok, seperti Istana Sanam Chan di Nakhon Pathom, Istana Marukhathiwan di Hua Hin dan Istana Bang Pa dekat Ayutthaya.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0px; font: 12.0px Times New Roman"&gt;Setelah revolusi 1932 dan jatuhnya monarki absolut, Departemen Seni Rupa mengambil alih National Theatre dari istana dan mendirikan akademi musik dan tari. Dengan National Theatre baru yang dibangun pada tahun 1960, pembangunan identitas Thai menjadi makin dan semakin kokoh. Ruang bagaimanapun pernah menjadi forum untuk pertunjukan kebudayaan militer dan pegawai pemerintahan. Thailand Cultural Center, yang didirikan oleh pemerintah Jepang dibuka pada tahun 1985 untuk mementaskan kebudayaan Thai di atas panggung berstandar internasional dan sekaligus membawa pertunjukan-pertunjukan berkelas internasional dari luar negeri. Dari tahun 1997, National Theatre yang telah menjadi tua, tak mampu lagi bekerja sama dengan keperluan teknis dan terpaksa ditutup untuk direnovasi. Sejak saat itu, sangat sulit sekali menyaksikan sebuah tari tradisional Thai kecuali di restoran-restoran Thai. Setelah hampir lima belas tahun berdiri, Thailand Cultural Center menjadi semakin bersifat resmi. Lebih bersifat bebas hanya sewaktu melibatkan uang, seperti untuk konser-konser pop.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0px; font: 12.0px Times New Roman"&gt;Perkembangan teater kontemporer di tahun 1970 sangat banyak merupakan aktivitas dari dua universitas di Bangkok, Thammasart dan Chulalongkorn. Hanya pada tahun 1980-an, ruang-ruang swasta untuk teater kontemporer besar seperti Sala Chalermknung dan Bangkok Playhouse. Pertunjukan-pertunjukan yang ditampilkan di sini lebih merupakan pertunjukan-pertunjukan teater dan musik komersial.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; font: 12.0px Times New Roman; min-height: 15.0px"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; font: 12.0px Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Perpindahan&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0px; font: 12.0px Times New Roman"&gt;Perkembangan lain yang perlu dicatat adalah perpindahan dari ruang-ruang teater biasa menjadi ruang-ruang-ruang terbuka seperti yang disediakan oleh kedua kelompok swasta, Dance Center dan Patravadi Theatre. Pada tahun 1988, Dance Theatre mementaskan ‘The Last Silver Crane’ di lantai dasar sebuah istana tua Suan Prakad. Berikutnya pada tahun yang sama, Dance Theatre mementaskan pertunjukan serupa di lantai dasar The Siam Society, dengan dua buah rumah tradisional Thai sebagai latar belakang. Patravadi Theatre dengan Theatre Season dan Bangkok Fringe Festival-nya memiliki bermacam ruang yang dapat digunakan dalam gabungan besar termasuk sebuah teater terbuka di atas kolam renang, sebuah studio teater terbuka seperti kafe teater terbuka;. Ide tersebut mungkin merupakan hal baru bagi kota-kota Asia Tenggara seperti di Kuala Lumpur dan Singapura. Lebih dari lima tahun yang lalu The Instant Cafe Theatre mementaskan sebuah produksi besar &lt;i&gt;Mid-Summer Night’s Dream&lt;/i&gt; di lantai dasar Carcosa, Kuala Lumpur dan di awal tahun terakhir, Five Arts Center, mementaskan teater mereka &lt;i&gt;Welcome to Mrs. Yang’s 98th Birthday Party &lt;/i&gt;di setiap ruang dalam rumah. Unimastage di Kuching Malaysia, mementaskan sebuah produksi tari kontemporer &lt;i&gt;River&lt;/i&gt; di Kuching Waterfront, dengan empat puluhan seniman tari, menggunakan kedua sisi Sungai Kuching dan dua buah perahu dengan lilin yang menyala menyeberangi sungai menuju penonton dan bergabung dengan mereka.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0px; font: 12.0px Times New Roman"&gt;Sebenarnya, konsep ruang terbuka atau gedung teater terbuka bukanlah hal yang baru bagi drama Asia bahkan drama Yunani. Barangkali kita juga telah terperangkap dengan ide untuk memiliki sebuah ruang teater murni, sebuah pemandangan yang diformalisasikan dan dikontrol. Tanpa menyadarinya, kita sebenarnya telah membatasi ruang-ruang pertunjukan, teknik, gaya, genre dan juga kelompok-kelompok teater dan penonton. Pembukaan beragam ruang untuk pertunjukan di Bangkok akhir-akhir ini misalnya telah membuncahkan cahaya pertaruhan artistik baru.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; font: 12.0px Times New Roman; min-height: 15.0px"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; font: 12.0px Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Menembus Batasan-batasan&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0px; font: 12.0px Times New Roman"&gt;Maradox Mai Black Box Theatre, telah memberikan kesempatan pada ide-ide dan kelompok-kelompok teater baru seperti produksi terbaru &lt;i&gt;This Is My Life-I Love You&lt;/i&gt; yang dapat dikatakan merupakan pertunjukan musikal gay yang pertama di Bangkok, berlangsung di bawah pengaruh obat-obatan dan pertunjukan-pertunjukan go-go di Pat Pong di Bangkok. Gedung teater kecil ini tidak memberikan muatan apapun pada kelolmpok teater dan hanya muatan minimal untuk penonton. Sebuah organisasi nirlaba independen About Art Related Activities Gallery and Cafe; telah mengkurasi dan mementaskan bermacam pementasan, diskusi dan pertunjukan seni. Selaan dari menjadi sebuah galeri, ruang tiga tingkat tersebut menawarkan kafe galeri; di lantai pertama, ruang pameran dan pertunjukan di lantai dua dan pertunjukan-pertunjukan di lantai tiga. Sebenarnya galeri ini tidak berkaitan dengan ruang-ruang yang tetap untuk kegiatan-kegiatan spesifik. Mereka telah mementaskan pertunjukan-pertunjukan gaya jalanan di lantai dasar dan dua, band-band alternatif di lantai dasar dan pertunjukan-pertunjukan teater tari di lantai dua pada malam yang sama. Dengan semacam gabungan pemograman, kita dapat melihat apap yang disebut kebudayaan tinggi berpadu dan berbaur dengan kebudayaan populer dalam ruang dan waktu yang sama. Mungkin hal ini hanya bisa terjadi dalam sebuah masyarakat biasaa, di amana kelas-kelas sosial, kekayaan dan kekuasaan tidak terlibat.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0px; font: 12.0px Times New Roman"&gt;Pada bulan Juni 1999, Patravadi Theatre dan Cetral Chidlom Departemen Store menembus batasan lain dengan bekerja sama mensponsori The Contemporary Thai Festival yang menampilkan pertunjukan-pertunjukan tari, musik dan teater kepada para pembeli dan pecinta teater dalam kompleks perbelanjaan. Mereka mengubah salah satu sudut kompleks tersebut untuk menjadi ruang teater dengan sebuah panggung mini dan tempat duduk untuk penonton. Pada zaman dahulu, orang-orang selalu menyaksikan kegiatan-kegiatan semacam ini sebagai sebuah perayaan komersial tapi dengan perlakuan yang sungguh-sungguh dari ruang dan pertunjukan, ruang komersial seperti ini dapat berubah menjadi sebuah ruang kebudayaan, artistik dan perayaan.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0px; font: 12.0px Times New Roman"&gt;Ruang politik, ritual dan budaya yang merupakan wilayah tempat tinggal di depan kamar kepala suku dalam rumah panjang, dapat berubah menjadi ruang komersial ketika para wisatawan diterima untuk sebuah kunjungan rumah dalam waktu yang sama. Ruang yang sama ini telah menyaksikan hilangnya pertunjukan-pertunjukan budaya dan ritual lama dapat dipentaskan ulang untuk pertunjukan hiburan, kesenangan dan apresiasi para wisatawan. Pada saat yang sama hal ini menawarkan kesempatan untuk melestariakn kebudayaan mereka sendiri.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0px; font: 12.0px Times New Roman"&gt;Kelompok-kelompok teater yang lebih &lt;i&gt;avant-garde &lt;/i&gt;seperti Asia Theatre Research, Arts Vision dan Theatre Workshop di Singapura dan Five Art Centre di Kuala Lumpur, secara konstan mencari ruang non-konvensional, bukan sekedar bermaksud untuk melulu pindah dari ruang-ruang biasa tapi untuk berbagai alasan lainnya seperti sewa yang lebih murah. Ruang-ruang alternatif bukan tidak pasti lebih mudah menyesuaikan dengan dari administratif, artistik dan sudut-sudut pandang teknis, namun yang pasti menciptakan tantangan-tantangan sekaligus menciptakan publisitas dan kesadaran.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; font: 12.0px Times New Roman; min-height: 15.0px"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; font: 12.0px Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Merengkuh Komunitas&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0px; font: 12.0px Times New Roman"&gt;Sarawak di Malaysia Timur terdiri dari 33 kelompok etnis. Kuching sebagai kota, dekat sungai Sarawak, didirikan oleh James Brooke pada tahun 1840 sekarang telah menajdi perpaduan antar bangunan kolonial Inggris, tradisional dan Malaysia modern. Kuching Waterfront, tempat orang-orang, kaki lima yang terletak satu kilometer di sebelah kanan bank Kuching River, dikenal karena perpaduan desain modern dan etnis kontemporer, memenangkan beberapa penghargaan internasional untuk desain-desainnya yang menggambarkan termasuk perjalanan sejarah, seri-seri pahatan arsitektur tradisional, tempat bermain, kafe-kafe, taman-taman, patung-patung tradisional dan modern serta amphiteater. Ia benar-benar merupakan ruang komunitas. Dengan kenangan-kenangan dari ruang masa lalu kolonial, ruang komunitas secara konstan membawa bersama-sama kebudayaan tradisional dan beragam kelompok etnis demikian juga kebudayaan konser-konser&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;rock, rap, jazz dan pop.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0px; font: 12.0px Times New Roman"&gt;Di Singapura yang kosmopolitan, yang tengah mempersiapkan dirinya untuk menjadi poros kegiatan budaya Asia Tenggara, The National Arts Council mengeluarkan program lainnya, seni pertunjukan bagi komunitas tempat tinggal di flat-flat Housing Development Board (HDB). Sebenarnya, ini sekedar merupakan program di luar jangkauan, namun kini menajdi program khusus. Mereka telah mempergelarkan berbagai pertunjukan dari opera Cina, bangsawan, tari India dan teater-teater modern.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0px; font: 12.0px Times New Roman"&gt;Singapura telah memainkan peranan sebagai ruang penting bagi seni, budaya dan pasar-pasar dalam masa modern sejak Sir Stamford Raffles menciptakan konser kota gerbang pelabuhan bagi Singapura. Pada tahun-tahun terakhir, The Singapore Tourism Board telah menekankan penemuan budaya dengan konsep “Singapore Asia Baru” dan “Poros Kebudayaan Asia.” The National Arts Council dengan keberhasilan Singapore Art Festival, baru-baru ini menelurkan The Esplanade, gedung teater baru di atas teluk, memfasilitasi untuk pendirian kelompok-kelompok seni. Ruang-ruang yang ditata non-konvensional seperti The Substantion, telah menciptakan banyak ide menarik. Memamerkan kepada publik Singapura berbagai tipe ekspresi, tidak hanya kebudayaan tinggi opera, balet dan orkestra simfoni tapi juga mempromosikan Opera Cina, bangsawan, Joget, Bharatam Natyam dalam komunitas multi budaya. Bantuan-bantuan, pengahargaan-penghargaan dan ruang-ruang telah diberikan kepada para seniman oleh The National Arts Board, termasuk pertunjukan yang diberangkatkan pada sebuah festival internasional, tapi akankah secara nasional penulis naskah terkenal akan mampu memproduksi karya-karya kontroversial, karya-karya tentang rumah masa lampau multi budaya? Baru-baru ini Action Theatre memproduksi pertunjukan tentang HIV positif dengan seorang pemain yang betul-betul menderita HIV positif di atas panggung dan hal itu telah menarik perhatian pers internasional, mengutip bahwa Singapura telah dibesarkan dari citra negara pengasuhnya. Apakah betul? Atau hanya sekedar publisitas yang bertujuan mengalihkan pada pembukaan The Esplanade dan menutupi rumor-rumor bahwa festival seni tahun ini adalah sebuah pukulan dengan sebungkah produksi koreksi politis. Barangkali penonton telah menjadi semakin berpengetahuan, lebih berpengalaman dan lebih menuntut setelah bertahun-tahun memperhatikan program-program festival.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0px; font: 12.0px Times New Roman"&gt;Pemerintah Singapura juga telah menyadari kesuksesan pihak-pihak swasta yang membawa konser-konser musik dan pop Barat dan kemampuan mereka menarik perhatian para penonton dari daerah. Membuat Singapura sebagai tujuan wisatawan untuk tujuan kebudayaan karena tinggi sekaligus populer. Kita mungkin akan terheran-heran tentang apa yang akan terjadi pada ruang-ruang pertunjukan saat ini, jika Esplanade selesai.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; font: 12.0px Times New Roman; min-height: 15.0px"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; font: 12.0px Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mempertanyakan Ruang&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; font: 12.0px Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Kita mungkin berkata bahwa teater kontemporer di Thailand tidak mendapat perhatian sedikitpun dari pemerintah Thai yang merupakan satu-satunya lembaga yang mepromosikan tari dan teater tradisional Thai untuk para wisatawan atau bentuk-bentuk seni pertunjukan modern Barat untuk masyarakat kelas atas. Ini adalah kasus yang berbeda di Malaysia di mana pemerintah memilih untuk mempromosikan tari-tari rakyat dan sandiwara-sandiwara Melayu, membiarkan di sisi seni klasik kewajiban untuk alasan-alasan politik dan keagamaan. Hasilnya bentuk-bentuk seni tradisional klasik akan punah. Barangkali orang akan merasa iri pada Indonesia, di mana pemerintah juga tidak hanya mempromosikan tapi juga menekankan dalam pendidikan. Mungkin kita seharusnya tak mengeluh tentang tidak mendapatkan ruang apapun dari pemerintah. Selalu ada biaya untuk membayar apa yang Anda minta. Kesenian seharusnya berada di tangan-tangan yang tepat, tapi tidak ada ruang-ruang yang benar atau salah. Setiap ruang memiliki puisi artistik, makna, kekuatan dan kenangannya sendiri.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; font: 12.0px Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Sebenarnya terdapat banyak pertanyaan pada diri kita sendiri, seperti makna seni kontemporer dalam relasinya dengan ruang-ruang, apa peran bentuk-bentuk klasik dan tradisi dan kemanakah kita melangkah sekarang? Sangat sering, di dalam kesenian kita mencoba membangun superioritas untuk bentuk-bentuk seni kita sendiri, yang mana melibatkan kita dalam politik-politik &lt;i&gt;sponsorship&lt;/i&gt; dan penciptaan ruang. Misalnya, kita mulai sebagai sebuah kelompok tari: lalu menjadi kelompok tari kerajaan. Kelak kita membangun sebuah ruang teater raksasa – dan ini pada akhirnya membatasi kita dari ruang itu dan penontonnya. Lalu muncul kelompok-kelompok lainnya yang mencoba menyelaraskan diri mereka ke dalam ruang-ruang di antara ruang-ruang resmi. Saya kira kita harus ingat bahwa selagi kita mencoba menemukan jawaban-jawaban, menembus batasan-batasan dan merengkuh komunitas, kita juga mesti secara konstan membangun ruang-ruang budaya yang baru.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:'Times New Roman', fantasy;font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4021561197607212176-8994722057088230248?l=saloranseni.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saloranseni.blogspot.com/feeds/8994722057088230248/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4021561197607212176&amp;postID=8994722057088230248&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4021561197607212176/posts/default/8994722057088230248'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4021561197607212176/posts/default/8994722057088230248'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saloranseni.blogspot.com/2010/02/politik-ruang-bali-conference-2000.html' title='Politik Ruang, Bali Conference, 2000'/><author><name>zubin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00585434185374553156</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_adJKd8h7m3c/SgfHgZ--R1I/AAAAAAAAAnQ/lMHG0TExtsM/S220/DSCF0183.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4021561197607212176.post-5375589537489860704</id><published>2010-02-19T03:16:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-19T03:21:28.992-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Politik Ruang 2010</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;

It is a visual action taken by social activists to make a point clear. Protest art is also used to with the intention to promote counter-thinking about the fabric of society itself. Often such art is used as part of demonstrations or acts of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_disobedience" title="Civil disobedience" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;civil disobedience&lt;/a&gt;.

The most important part of protest art is element of social activism. Therefore, protest art requires most importantly a cause or an issue. Protest art can take on the form of a simple sign displaying a social message of displeasure or a large banner expressing discontent with something in particular or in general.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "&gt;Often protest artists bypass the "artworld institutions and commercial gallery system" in an attempt to reach a wider audience through means that are most accessible to them. Instead of creating social activist art and displaying them only in art galleries where access is restricted to the "economically privileged", protest artists are trying to ensure their message reaches the largest number of people. Furthermore, protest art is not limited to one region or country but is rather a social activism method that is used around the world. For example, artists in South Africa during the 1990s created art using a range of media that explored memories of an integrated community that was once the heart of Cape Town.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "&gt;There are many politically charged pieces of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fine_art" title="Fine art" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;fine art&lt;/a&gt; - such as &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picasso" title="Picasso" class="mw-redirect" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;Picasso&lt;/a&gt;'s &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guernica_(painting)" title="Guernica (painting)" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;Guernica&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, some of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Carlberg" title="Norman Carlberg" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;Norman Carlberg&lt;/a&gt;'s &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_war" title="Vietnam war" class="mw-redirect" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;Vietnam war&lt;/a&gt;-era work, or &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_Crile" title="Susan Crile" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;Susan Crile&lt;/a&gt;'s images of torture at &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Ghraib" title="Abu Ghraib" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;Abu Ghraib&lt;/a&gt; - which could perhaps be termed "protest art", except that they lack the easy portability and disposability often associated with protest art.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2  style="color: black; background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; font-weight: normal; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.6em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0.17em; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: rgb(170, 170, 170);  background-position: initial initial; font-size:19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="editsection"  style="float: right; margin-left: 5px;  font-size:13px;"&gt;It is difficult to establish a history for protest art because many variations of it can be found throughout history.

It aims to effect social change by engaging in active processes of representation that work to foster participation in dialogue, raise consciousness, and empower individuals and communities. The need to ensure the continued impact of a work by sustaining the public participation process it initiated is also a challenge for many activist artists. It often requires the artist to establish relationships within the communities where projects take place.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "&gt;If social movements are understood as “repeated public displays” of alternative political and cultural values&lt;sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference" style="line-height: 1em; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; "&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protest_art#cite_note-0" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; white-space: nowrap; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;1&lt;span&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;, then activist art is significant in articulating such alternative views. Activist art is also important to the dimension of culture and an understanding of its importance alongside political, economical, and social forces in movements and acts of social change.

In the art world, performance art of the late 1960s to the 70s worked to broaden aesthetic boundaries within &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_arts" title="Visual arts" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;visual arts&lt;/a&gt; and traditional &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theatre" title="Theatre" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;theatre&lt;/a&gt;, blurring the rigidly construed distinction between the two. The transient, interdisciplinary, and hybrid nature of performance art allowed for audience engagement. The openness and immediacy of the medium invited public participation, and the nature of the artistic medium was a hub for media attention.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "&gt;Emerging forms of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feminism" title="Feminism" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;feminism&lt;/a&gt; and feminist art of the time was particularly influential to activist art. The idea that “the personal is the political”, that is, the notion that personal revelation through art can be a political tool&lt;sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference" style="line-height: 1em; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; "&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protest_art#cite_note-1" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; white-space: nowrap; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;2&lt;span&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; , guided much activist art in its study of the public dimensions to private experience. The strategies deployed by feminist artists parallel those by artists working in activist art. Such strategies often involved “collaboration, dialogue, a constant questioning of aesthetic and social assumptions, and a new respect for audience” and are used to articulate and negotiate issues of self-representation, empowerment, and community identity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conceptual_Art" title="Conceptual Art" class="mw-redirect" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;Conceptual Art&lt;/a&gt; sought to expand aesthetic boundaries in its critique of notions of the art object and the commodity system within which it is circulated as currency. Conceptual artists experimented with unconventional materials and processes of art production. Grounded by strategies rooted in the real world, projects in conceptual art demanded viewer participation and were exhibited outside of the traditional and exclusive space of the art gallery, thus making the work accessible to the public. Similarly, collaborative methods of execution and expertise drawn from outside the art world are often employed in activist art so as to attain its goals for community and public participation. Parallel to the emphasis on ideas that conceptual art endorsed, activist art is process-oriented, seeking to expose embedded power relationships through its process of creation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "&gt;In the political sphere, the militancy and identity politics of the period fostered the conditions out of which activist art arose.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3   style="color: black; background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.3em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0.17em; border-bottom-width: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-  background-position: initial initial; font-size:17px;color:initial;"&gt;&lt;span class="editsection"  style="float: right; margin-left: 5px;  font-weight: normal; font-size:13px;"&gt;[&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Protest_art&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;section=4" title="Edit section: Strategy and practice" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;edit&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline" id="Strategy_and_practice"&gt;Strategy and practice&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "&gt;In practice, activist art may often take the form of temporal interventions, such as performance, media events, exhibitions, and installations. It is also common to employ mainstream media techniques (through the use of billboards, posters, advertising, newspaper inserts…etc.). By making use of these commercial distributive channels of commerce, this technique is particularly effective in conveying messages that reveal and subvert its usual intentions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "&gt;The use public participation as a strategy of activating individuals and communities to become a “catalyst for change” is important to activist art.

By contrast, the A &amp;amp; HC was an attempt to bridge the gap between art production and social action, thus allowing for the work subjects that were previously excluded and silenced to be heard.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2  style="color: black; background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; font-weight: normal; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.6em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0.17em; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: rgb(170, 170, 170);  background-position: initial initial; font-size:19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="editsection"  style="float: right; margin-left: 5px;  font-size:13px;"&gt;[&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Protest_art&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;section=5" title="Edit section: Resistance art" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;edit&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline" id="Resistance_art"&gt;Resistance art&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "&gt;Resistance art has long been a term used to describe those that use art as a way of showing their opposition to powerholders.

His works commented on important black South African figures and aspects important to his community. South African resistance artists do not exclusively deal with race nor do they have to be from the townships. Another artist, Jane Alexander, has dealt with the atrocities of apartheid from a white perspective. Her resistance art deals with the unhealthy society that continues in post-apartheid South Africa.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2  style="color: black; background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; font-weight: normal; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.6em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0.17em; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: rgb(170, 170, 170);  background-position: initial initial; font-size:19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="editsection"  style="float: right; margin-left: 5px;  font-size:13px;"&gt;[&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Protest_art&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;section=7" title="Edit section: References" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;edit&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline" id="References"&gt;References&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div class="references-small" style="font-size: 11px; "&gt;&lt;ol class="references" style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.3em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 3.2em; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; list-style-image: none; "&gt;&lt;li id="cite_note-0" style="margin-bottom: 0.1em; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protest_art#cite_ref-0" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;^&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Reed, T.V., The art of protest : culture and activism from the civil rights movement to the streets of Seattle.

Allahyarham yang dirawat di hospital berkenaan sejak lebih seminggu lalu, meninggal dunia akibat serangan jantung. Arwah selamat disemadikan di Tanah Perkuburan Seksyen 21, Shah Alam selepas Zohor kelmarin 21 Januari 2010, sebuah kehilangan yang cukup besar kepada industri seni tanah air.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kelantangannya memperjuangkan filem berkonsep seni selain mencetuskan semangat kebangkitan filem Malaysia dari sudut akademik sudah pasti akan terus dikenang.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Allahyarham pernah mencipta sejarah dalam dunia perfileman tanah air kerana mengarahkan filem dengan durasi terpanjang iaitu selama lima jam berjudul Johnny Bikin Filem. Bagaimanapun filem pertama dan terakhirnya itu yang diterbitkan oleh Universiti Malaya (UM) pada 1995 tidak pernah ditayangkan kepada umum. Filem Johnny Bikin Filem yang berdurasi selama lima jam merupakan filem pertama dan terakhir arahannya. Walaupun karyanya tidak pernah dipertontonkan kepada orang ramai, namun sudah pasti satu kejayaan bermakna buatnya apabila Johnny Bikin Filem mencipta rekod sebagai filem tempatan paling lama disiapkan layak untuk disenaraikan dalam pelbagai kategori di Festival Filem Malaysia ke-21 (FFM21) pada 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Johnny Bikin Filem memaparkan kisah Johnny, seorang anak muda dari kampung yang menjadi ketua gangster berpengaruh di Singapura dalam tahun 1950-an. Ketika itu dunia filem Melayu dikuasai kapitalis Cina dari Hong Kong, dan gangsterisme menjadi sebahagian daripada pelengkap sosial zaman itu. Johnny dengan kekayaan dan pengaruhnya berhasrat membeli studio filem di Singapura setelah menjalinkan hubungan cinta dengan salah seorang primadona filem Melayu.Filem berdasarkan skrip, lakon layar dan arahan Anuar itu membariskan pelakon seperti Zack Idris, Erma Fatimah, Wafa Abdul Kadir, Datuk Jalaludin Hassan, Omar Rojik (Allahyarham) dan M Amin (Allahyarham). Kru produksi yang terbabit dalam filem ini ialah Meor Hashim Manap sebagai penyunting, Jamal Maarif (pengarah fotografi) dan Din Osman (penggubah skor muzik).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Allahyarham atau nama sebenarnya Anuar Mohd. Nor @ Arai adalah anak Malaysia pertama yang mempunyai Ijazah Doktor Falsafah (PhD) dalam bidang perfileman dari Universiti Southern California, Amerika Syarikat dan bertugas lebih 20 tahun sebagai pensyarah bidang perfileman di UM. Selain itu, beliau pernah bertugas di Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Shah Alam dan Akademi Seni Budaya dan Warisan Kebangsaan (Aswara) dan mengajar program filem di UNIMAS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anuar juga pernah mengarah beberapa teater termasuk teater terakhirnya berjudul, Ronggeng Rokiah yang dipentaskan di Istana Budaya. Walaupun Allahyarham lebih terkenal dalam bidang akademik, namun namanya bukanlah asing dalam genre drama pentas.&lt;br /&gt;Naskah 'Tok Selampit' karya beliau adalah antara naskah drama yang sering dikaji selain drama Vakum dan Si Pemacak yang sering pula dijadikan drama untuk latihan oleh pelajar-pelajar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dalam kenyataan mstar.com.my dikatakan yang Allahyarham meninggalkan 76 buah skrip yang belum diterbitkan dan beliau teringin mengarah sebuah drama karya beliau iaitu ‘Matinya Seorang Sutradara’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While browsing on the net I found the writing of Muzaffar from&lt;a href="http://sultanmuzaffar.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmousedown="UntrustedLink.bootstrap($(this), &amp;quot;6e54080777f699893c38f462d4cf284e&amp;quot;, event)" style="cursor: pointer; color: rgb(59, 89, 152); text-decoration: none; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;http://sultanmuzaffar.blog&lt;/span&gt;&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;span class="word_break" style="display: block; float: left; margin-left: -10px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;/span&gt;spot.com&lt;/a&gt;, written in 2004 and another from Patrick Lim from his blog in 2006.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Telefilem Ronggeng Rokiah telah dibuat dengan rentak yang sengaja dilambatkan. Penumpuan kepada mise-en-scène filem ini jelas dapat kita perhatikan. Watak-watak yang ada diberikan tekstur melalui tata cahaya juga arahan seni untuk filem ini. Telefilem ini adalah sebuah filem "noir", sebuah genre yang cukup popular di Hollywood pada tahun 40-an dan 50-an dahulu. Saya dapati, Dr. Anuar Nor Arai mempunyai kecenderungan untuk membikin filem-filem genre ini. Pada tahun 1995, beliau telah membikin filem noir pertamanya, Johnny Bikin Filem yang sehingga kini tidak ditayangkan kepada penonton umum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Selain dari menggunakan tata cahaya noir yang agak teliti, mise-en-shot filem ini juga unik. Filem ini juga menggunakan teknik "handheld shot" di mana kamera bergerak mengikut pergerakan pelakon. Pergerakan kamera ini mengingatkan saya kepada teknik yang digunakan dalam filem Perancis arahan Gaspar Noe yang bertajuk Irreversible. Sedikit sebanyak, teknik ini dapat menimbulkan perasaan klaustrophobia dalam diri watak juga penonton. Sering kali juga, watak-watak seperti ditindih ke satu sudut dalam siri bingkai (frame) untuk menampakkan keadaan mereka yang tersisih yang mempunyai semacam "psychological angst" yang tidak terluah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sememangnya filem ini kaya dengan semiotik. Lambang-lambang yang sebelum ini terwujud dalam Ronggeng Rokiah versi teater dipindahkan ke dalam filem, seperti pili bomba, coretan-coretan di dinding dan juga tari tango di antara Usman Players dan Rokiah Ronggeng di dalam bilik sempitnya itu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terdapat satu adegan dalam filem ini yang panjangnya 17 minit. Hassan Muthalib telah memberitahu kepada saya bahawa inilah adegan terpanjang tanpa henti dalam sejarah filem Melayu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Telefilem Ronggeng Rokiah melawan arus. Filem ini merupakan wahana unjuran paradigma perfileman Malaysia yang mula kita dapat cium bau perubahannya. Apa yang jelas, telefilem Ronggeng Rokiah ini jika kita dalami, mempunyai persoalan-persoalan besar melalui subteknya. Tetapi, adakah penonton kita mahu mendalami subteks yang dikemukakan kepada mereka nanti?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;............... Dr. Anuar Noor Arai cuba mendampak dialektik politik bangsa Melayu dekat 50-an? Atau setidak-tidaknya, filem ini sebenarnya merupakan satu sindiran Dr. Anuar Nor Arai tentang kemelut yang wujud dalam dunia perfileman Malaysia?

He is wise in his knowledge of films and philosophy and he is rightfully opinionated in a lot of matters concerning films.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Three years ago, Dr. Anuar invited me to be involved in his Istana Budaya production, RONGGENG ROKIAH. I was initially reluctant to be involved as this was to be a major national theatre production and I had never worked on a scale this big. Dr. asked me to be the assistant director and also later played the part of Jimmy Lee in the play. Imagine, playing a part which had one of the most memorable line in the play, in front of hundreds and the "what if" crops up. What if I fumble the line? I'll be laughed at by the audience and Dr. would never want to talk to me again. Oh... The play was in Bahasa Malaysia and frankly speaking, my Bahasa was and is still very rusty. I must say that I plowed through it by taking up the challenge in working with Dr. and also my fear of having hundreds of eyes prying into me. His directing method had a vague way to it but through the many rehearsals, the actors and I slowly found our way through the written text. He brought the film noir elements to the stage which he coined Noir On Stage, with shadows, silhouettes, femme fatale and lot of people smoking including yours truly and it became one of the most successful Istana Budaya productions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We talked about everything from SEPET, BIG DURIAN, JOHN CASSAVETES, ZHANG YI MOU to AKIRA KUROSAWA. He talked about the new generation of filmmakers being more daring and psychologically stems from their mixed parentage. I found it to be an interesting reading into the new breed of filmmakers. I will remember that Dr. once said that the Malaysian soil is not rich enough for great films to be produced yet based on the historical context as he compared Malaysia's history to China's, Europe's or Indonesia's.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few days ago I was at Dr.'s house to collect the John Cassavetes' documentary and we had another session of dialogue.
