26th July 2008 The Studio, TRCC "Dari Garis Pinggir ke Gelanggang Global" Travels Beyond the Margins
An annual competition organized and mentored by Teater Ekamatra themselves, Pentas Karyawan embarked on another journey towards realising the making of yet another enthralling teater play. Trapped, was their story. The exploitation of money and women's body in many ways possible, and how globalisation has effected human in today's robust world.
They were both SM/Scriptwriter and actor respectively, but this year two ladies (Wirni Asyura and 'Arifah 'Atiqah) decided to take a different toll and challenge of being the Director and Scriptwriter for this year's play. What a journey, to know that there lies a lot of enthusiastic and potentially good actors out there who has so much to look out for
The intensive trainings, scoldings, latecomers, memorising scripts, stressful situations, tears, playful actors, and so much more. All was worthwhile. At the end of the day, the audiences just LOVE us, and they called for another encore. Below are the excerpts of the various scenes from Trapped.
Thank you to the PPP mentors, for guiding us along the way We learned a lot as an art lover To casts for being such great actors Crews for the efficient help on stage and in the control room Our make-up artists below for the marvellous transformation! (Liyana, Idah and Jannah) To MCG for the support and all those who has given us never-ending encouragement
Like what Farah Idaman said, "RP, THAT WAS WHAT I CALLED THEATRE" Rohaizad said, "YOU GUYS WERE AMAZING. FANTASTIC!" Irfan said, "THE PLAY AND DIRECTION WAS FLAWLESS!! GOOD JOB GUYS!" And so much more comments!!! Pentas Karyawan is really glad with the positive feedbacks Audiences LOVED it, totally
People said, we lead them to greater heights.
It's true what Mastura Ahmad said, "Semua adalah pemenang. Yang penting, tanamkan rasa cinta kepada seni teater"
Through all the hard work, we brought home Outstanding Performer Award through the role of Insyirah, played by Nur Fa'izah Bte Ahmad Fauzi. 2 years straight consecutively! What an achievement.
God Willing, Pentas Karyawan will re-stage Trapped again some time in October. Watch out for the vibes once again yea! Much Love!

Fiestari 2008
Greetings MCG!
Sorry for the loooong hiatus, everyone has been busySo here is updating a very belated post, FIESTARI 2008 that took place way back 0n the 12th of July!
Dharma.Repfus3 did extremely greatTheir dance, called Zifin Qasirun, embraced the dance floor with so much energy and grace. The intensive trainings really paid off
If I remembered correctly, one of the 2 thorns among the roses, Qayyum, was the only year one who was involved in this year's competition. Well done to him for taking up the challenge to be part of the prestigious competition. There is the saying that goes in a competition, there is always a winner and a loser.But judging from the achievements thus far, Dharma.Repfus3 won the heart of the crowds with the dance techniques and spirit level. There is always a next year.
MCG would like to congratulate you guys for the commendable display of performance! Apape pun, tetap memperjuangkan kesenian tari Melayu kan? And congrats to Indra Nila Kirana for being crowned the champions. Here is the Zifin Qasirun's video. Enjoy! (:
