Greetings everyone!

What's happening on 11.11.11?

Find out now! :D

In the morning:

Activity: Launch of CommFest 2011

Time: 10.00 am.

Venue: Lecture Theatre 12, Taylor's Lakeside Campus.

Be entertained by Zlwin Chew and No Noise Percussion at the launch.

 

Zlwin Chew is a magician based in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. His interest in magic started off during the early childhood days when his father used to bring his family for magic shows. However, he only got serious in learning the Art of Magic when he saw his friend performing some close-up magic to him many years ago. Since then he was determined to learn and taught himself magic from a few sources. It was only the beginning. Zlwin has met and performed to some of the country's most reknown people. Some of them include:

• The 12th King of Malaysia, Sultan of Perlis, Raja Syed Sirajuddin ibni Syed Putra Jamalullail.
• Former Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tun. Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad.

No Noise Percussion is a percussion group based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, that was formed in late 2007. Inspired by the group like Stomp Out Loud, Blue Man Group, and Wadaiko Yamato, NO NOISE PERCUSSION came up with their own style of performance. The name NO NOISE PERCUSSION itself represents the concept of applying the percussion playing technique using objects that are made for non-musical purposed, not even for producing sounds. Like household materials, water pipes, car exhaust, cones and many more. They also use recycled objects and modify them to support their performance.

In the afternoon:

Comm Acting : What the Books Don't Tell You.

Comm Acting: What the books don’t tell you.


In conjunction with CommFest 2011, we are proud to bring you Malaysia’s award winning actors and actresses for a pre-event talk entitled Comm-Acting : What the Books Don’t Tell you.


Three very interesting and very vital topics related to the differences between theatre and the big screen will be covered at the talk. If you have questioned the realness behind an actor’s screams, tears, happiness and other emotions then you would find this topic really interesting because it is about how real emotions are while acting.


A lot of us may think that acting is easy and that is all about just playing a role or pulling off a character. But little do we know that it can actually be really challenging and difficult for an actor to play a role. To be able to play a role and deliver an outstanding performance, an actor will first have to get into character for a role. So how does an actor get into character for a role you ask? Get all the information you need from the speakers present!


Being in theatre does not necessary mean being on stage. If you are camera shy but would love to be a part of theatre then the last topic that will be discussed at the talk would be the perfect platform for you to understand theatre better as it will cover the difference between directing for theatre, musical and film at the talk.


So keep your calendars free on:

Date: 13th October 2011

Time: 1.30pm – 4.00pm

Venue: Event Hall 2, Library
