Seedlings of an idea...

Went to watch Vision Works' Actorlympics yesterday and surprise surprise I bumped into Qahar, Syat and Syed......so the usual after show activity ensued....mamak session.......long mamak session......

So eventually me and Qahar started talking.....and me being desperate to experience the acting buzz again......said we should do something.....and since Qahar said if you know the right people, and he seemed to know the right people, you can get Stor DBP for free........the seedling to stage re-vitalise that old Chaotic Harmony Theatre franchise, Shorts.....was formed.....so ladies and gents.......with crossed fingers....look forward to Shorts III.....

Those of you familiar with current Malaysian youth theatre will probably be going....and how is that different from The Oral Stage?

Well, experience for one. Most of us, the team, will most likely comprise of people who've been involved in theatre for the last....5-6 years. They'll most likely include ex-CHT-ers and ex-Rep16:21-ers. And unlike The Oral Stage, Shorts will not only comprise of original works, but will also be doing shorts or excerpts taken from established playwrights too. Another differing point will be....to a certain extent...will be higher production values....ha! how self-righteous!

Aside from that...upon talking to Soefira Jaafar who later joined us at the mamak......we then came upon the idea to establish a improv ensemble......much like, I think, Second City.....where you have a group of people who constantly do improv together......that makes it easier for this group of people to do something like Actorlympics, coz they already have this awareness of each other and this...camaraderie that helps immensely in improv.......okay..I truth...I've lost my train of thought....to let's just leave it at that shall we?

So basically.....in future..aka right after my internship.....look out for news on Shorts III and improv meets! haha!!
