An open-mic night for theatre, which gives everyone a chance to show the Malaysian performing arts scene your talent be it in writing, acting or directing. The Platform aims to showcase new talent and original material (drama/ theatre /physical theatre genre only) that has never been staged before. The Platform also hopes to inspire a love for the performing arts among the Malaysian public.
New talent aside, the platform is also open to established talent who may want to venture out of their ‘comfort zones’ and try things that they may not be known for.
Each night will culminate in a Q&A session to give members of the audience a chance to find out more about the performance they watched.
Starting in February 2011 and continuing until July 2011, The Platform takes place on the first Monday of every month.
Dates: 7 Feb, 7 Mar, 4 Apr, 2 May, 6 Jun, and 4 Jul 2011
