Organisation: Elders from Montfort Care - Goodlife! Bedok
(Haizad & Syimah have worked with elders in Kembali 2022- https://www.p71sma.com/kembali)

Social worker & Liaison officer: Mazni Binte Kaswani

Supported by: Hasyimah Harith (P7:1SMA) & 2 artists

Working title: Lenggang Kangkung

Synopsis/ themes:
‘Lenggang Kangkung’ has the meaning of being leisurely and walking in a slow and peaceful gait. This Malay dance performance by Montfort Care - Goodlife! Bedok offers a reimagination of health and wellness. Moving towards a communal function of dancing, we will be using movement to make meaning of personal stories, and build relationships through empathy.

Wellness is an active process through which people become aware of, and make choices toward, a more meaningful existence. Expanding on the Malay dance movement motif of ‘lenggang’ which refers to the gentle swinging of arms when walking, this offers a symbolic approach to taking care of each other.

Themes explored in this performance process:
- Malay dance as a mental wellness strategy
- Building sense of self identity and independence
- Malay dance for encouraging mobility and exercise
- Malay dance as an intervention for aging meaningfully by building meaningful relationships

Renungan mata mencermin diri,
Ikhlasnya dari jantung ke hati.
Hulur tangan bisikan naluri,
Maaf zahir dan batin kembali.

This performance embodies stories from elders in our Malay-Muslim community. As we approach our last breath, this is a collective gesture to reflect on actions and inactions in our relationships.

​

Elders are the epitome of wisdom. As such, we learn to make meaning of different life experiences and challenges of physical mobility in old age. P7:1SMA (Prisma) weekly engagement with a group of elders from Montfort Care - Goodlife! Bedok entails mutual sharing of stories about asking for forgiveness, letting go of regrets and accepting loss.

​

Central to respecting the processual nature of life, we hope to make social change possible through our performance. Our time together with our community elders is a gift to reflect on our quality of life in this temporary world.

Collaboration with Asnida Daud, Firdaus Sani (https://oranglaut.sg/)

Commissioned by Pesta Raya
Production: 15-21 May
Venue: Recital studio, Esplanade

Title: Air Da Tohor (The tide is low)

Key intention:
To bring to light the unique traditions of the Orang Laut/Pulau community through storytelling and performances.

1. *Mentera Laut*
(Spoken word)

A culture that is rooted to its coastal environment and beliefs, the community of the Orang Laut/Pulau individuals are no stranger to animism. Crafted in its mother tongue, this piece is inspired by the spoken and written words of healing and love mantras used as a way of manifestation and rituals.

2. *Rangka Bubu, Rangka Budaya*(Spoken word, performance)

Focusing on the unique maritime craftsmanship of the coastal communities, this performance dissects the anecdotes behind the unique traditions of bubu trapping. With little to no access to land and sea, this dying tradition faces a challenge of having no torchbearers in the foreseeable future.

3. *Tak Reti Mati*
(Spoken word, performance)

As natural food gatherers, the Orang Pulau/Laut community often rely on the source of food in their surroundings. This piece focuses on the unique traditions and responses to one particular species of seafood: the puffer fish. While it is infamously-known as a highly poisonous fish, it is a delicacy among the coastal communities. From entrapment of the fish, de-poisoning, to its ritualistic practices, this piece shares a story of an underrepresented heritage forged by its unique cuisine.

4. *Pelindung*
(Spoken word)

For decades, the stories and identities of the Orang Laut/Pulau have been written by others. Inspired by the sea rituals and mantras for protection, this piece hopes to embody the characteristics, energy and willpower of the Orang Pulau/Laut community who are the respectful guardians and protectors of nature.

Themes explored in performance process: 1. Identity and familial relationships
2. Forced displacement of native islanders
3. Loss culture, heritage and rituals

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
We are the original Orang Laut, or the people of the sea. Our family, along with many others depended on the life source that the sea brought about.

About:

‘Kemas’ is a roving performance within Kampong Gelam that explores meticulous behaviour, through the act of cleaning. Translated to ‘tidy’ or ‘clean up’ in English, ‘Kemas’ invites you to reflect on our responsibilities in protecting and shaping Kampong Gelam’s built heritage & cultural identity, revealing themes of continuity and change. In an effort to defend Singapore's fragile social fabric, solidarity through body movement fosters unity, shaping our history and identity as a community.
