Norisham Osman

Producer & Founder of The Kaizen M.D.

With his strong foundation in tradition and an aesthetic that gravitates towards the experimental, Norisham makes for a crucial game-changer in the Malay dance circles and the performing arts industry on a whole. As a dancer with a wealth of experience, he is in a good position to educate others and advocate the traditional art form; something that is indeed hard to come by in the youths of today. Even with having been in the scene for more than a decade, Norisham still continuously makes it a point to refresh his foundations and delve deeper into his roots by having close exchanges with masters of the dance form.

Suhaili

Director

Suhaili has been weaving in and out of stage-playing since 2003. She began her acting career in Teater Ekamatra, where she performed notably in The Story of Sita As Told by She (2006), Suap (2008), and Heart(h) (2010). She then wrote and directed a children’s play, The Kingdom Under My Bed (2010, Octoburst!, Esplanade). Traveling to Indonesia for several productions (Kongkalikong, Dangdut Keliling, Pulangnya Cebolang, 2012-2013) has inspired Suhaili to engage in grassroots theatre that mirrors the vision of cultural responsiveness. 2013 then saw a turn in Suhaili’s work where she contributed as an actor for Dondang Sayang by The Necessary Stage - Theatre for Seniors and Both Sides, Now by Dramabox. Her most recent work includes Cari Makan by Hatch Theatrics (2016) and a collaboration project in Mother I where she was nominated for Best Sound Design at the Life Theatre Awards (2017). She is currently making music with her first love in the band The Psalms and hopes to find sincerity and truth in future theatre collaborations.
