What a Dance Debut!
It was Majlis Pusat 36th Anniversary Dinner and MOU Signing with Institut Seni Melaka Malaysia (ISMMA) on 2 July 2005 at Neptune.
And it was my debut dance performance! Dancing to the tune of "Joget Anak Kampung", this kampunguy enjoyed every moment of it on stage. Also throughout the Dinner function.
As my aunt shockingly asked, "Sekarang dah joget pulak?" Yes, but not just it. To me, it is an opportunity for me to widen my knowledge in the performing arts. Having been involved in the theatre scene since 1997, having also done band performances and emceeing projects, I believe the time has come to try another wing of the performing arts - dance.
The event started at 8pm. They wanted to start with a big bang, so with the dancers on the stage platform for the opening number, they required additional 3 persons on stage. These 3 people will then moved down to the VIP table, handing over the sirih and bunga telur. And, dunno whether it is coincident, the three people are Shana, Aidil and myself - all three are having our debut performance!!
Our "Joget Anak Kampung" ala "Joget Payung" made it to the stage shortly after that. And it was fun!! I just enjoyed myself up there, smiling and dancing to the tune .
It was soon over. :( True to what Cikgu and Shahril teased some months ago before I decided to perform in dance, "Kalau berlakon, berjam-jam boleh. Joget, kejap tak boleh." I think, being a stage person, it is natural for me to enjoy myself up there, staying for a longer period of time entertaining the crowd.
But nevertheless, I continued my involvement in the function at another aspect - handling the sound system for the Tarian Memikat Hati, the Fashion Show and a short play.
It was really a memorable function, even though I had diarrhoea. Cik Haron suggested to me to drink Sprite or 7-Up when the Kirana Seni-ans went for a late dinner at about 2am in the morning! And the diarrhoea subsided!! Amazing!! Alhamdulillah.
Thanks to the Kirana Seni-ans and Cikgu who encouraged me throughout the rehearsals. And what an iconic way to start dancing: kampunguy(@yahoo.com) danced in "Joget Anak Kampung". Haha!!
