马金泉老师《禅意空间》演出《禅舞》Anthony Meh Solo Performance 'Expressions of Zen'

《禅意空间》结合雕塑、画与舞蹈，在新年期间，为马来西亚佛光山东禅寺带来一抹艺术气息。《禅意空间》里展示了台湾雕塑大师——杨英风老师《无相无形雕塑》及马来西亚著名画家——吴亚鸿老师《禅画》的雕塑及画作。同时，佛光山也邀请了本地著名舞蹈家——马金泉老师以两者静态禅意的维度，创作出禅心观照静动天地的《禅舞》。他以相融并生的手法，在空间、精力、时空对应，拿捏出动静、虚满及真幻的禅舞创作，在观念上带出属于演出亦非演出的作品，象征“空有”及“空无”的喻意呈献，以现实当下观照本来无一物，何处惹尘埃的拈花微笑。

这次的重点演出中，将创造出本地舞蹈家、画家及海外艺术家联合创作的一种新气象。

公开的户外演出，难免会遇上天不作美的时候。演出中途，大雨倾盆而降，舞者们不中断演出，奋力在风雨中展开身体，舞动手中的扇子。观众也为了给于台上表演的我们最大的鼓励及支持，纷纷在雨中撑起雨伞，坚持看完演出。觉诚法师为了让接下去的演出能够继续进行，把所有的表演者及观众聚集在舞台上，让所有人在舞台上共歌共舞，形成一个别开生面的情景。尽管外面的风雨在大，大家的心里因为有彼此在身边陪伴而倍感温暖！
There was a day where rain started to pour during the middle of the performance. The dancers did not stop the performance but instead, they continued dancing and moving the fans in their hands. To give their best support to the performers, the audience did not leave immediately but holding umbrella in the rain until the performance finished. In order to continue with the subsequent program, Master Jue Cheng invited all the performing units and audience to move onto the stage and this created a special scene where the audience and performers were all on stage, continue to celebrate with joy and warmth in their hearts even though its raining.

受紫藤集团的邀请，舞团在MidValley紫藤《吉庆丽年》展销会演出新春舞码《喜迎春》为大家拜个早年。
两场演出分别在1月16日晚上8点及1月23日下午3点，假Midvalley紫藤《吉庆丽年》展销处登场。
演出开始前，舞者扮演的“大头娃娃”穿梭在观众人群中嬉戏玩乐，同时和现场的观众来个互动暖场，让大家在演出中更加有参与感。

Upon the invitation from Purple Cane, Dua Space performed "Joy of Spring" in Purple Cane MidValley "A Tea-rific Year" Promotion Activity to wish everyone an early Happy Chinese New Year. The performances were on 16th and 23rd January, 8pm and 3 pm respectively, at the promotional area of Purple Cane.
Before the performance started, Big Head Doll played by the dancers played around among the audience, interacting with them in order to elevate the atmosphere among the audience.

这两位是打算穿着演出服逛购物商场吗？？？
Are the two of you planning to go shopping wearing the costume??? Haha...

这一次的演出非常特别，由于演出进行中途，音响系统突然“凸槌”，发生故障。然而，让人叹为观止的是舞者以超强的默契及丰富的肢体节奏感，完成一场让观众屏息的无声演出。哈哈……那是又惊又喜！精彩！

The performance was a little 'unusual' as the audio system broke down during the performance. However, the dancers were able to finish the performance, holding the breath of the audience by dancing out of their perfect correspondence of mind the their rhythmic body movements, under the silent mode of the performance. Bravo!







在此贴上影片，留意3分钟42秒及9分钟27秒的音乐中断。哈哈……
Here I attached the video of the performance, and take a look at 3 min 42 sec and 9 min 27 sec. Haha...

18 & 19-12-2010 史诗歌舞剧《春雷动地》隆重登场Performance of Epic Musical 'Rolling Thunder'

1974年的演出曾因当局担心壮大左翼力量而腰斩 大马华社再响文艺春雷
The Thunder Roars Again, The Unperformed Performance in 1974





马来西亚华社文艺精英倾巢而出，演出史诗歌舞剧《春雷动地》，回顾七、八十年代风起云涌的社会事件，向当年为捍卫弱势群体权益而遭受打压的前辈致敬，也勉励新一代继续推动国家前进。 ——林友顺《亚洲周刊》
Presented by the leading Malaysian Chinese cultural elite, epic musical “Rolling Thunder” is to look back at the incidents took place in 70’s and 80’s in order to salute our seniors who were suppressed for their act of defending the right for the underprivileged group and to encourage our new generation to continue contributing for the future of our country.





《春雷》(春雷文艺大汇演)是1974年由马来亚大学华文学会主导，大马逾40个文艺团体参与的大型文艺表演，不过在最后一分钟因当局的一张禁令而被腰斩。当局是担心带有左倾色彩的春雷可能壮大国内左翼力量，因此采取强硬手段禁止春雷演出，同时逮捕多名春雷主要负责人，这令蓬勃发展的左翼文艺运动顿时消沉。
The performance of 《Spring Thunder》 was organized by the Chinese Language Society of University Malaya in 1974, combining more than 40 cultural performing groups but was called off abruptly due to its left-wing identity.

《动地吟》则是八十年代末期一批文化人以诗来陈述知识分子对社会不平心中的纳闷。
《Dong Di Yin》was a platform created by a batch of local poets and cultural intellectuals to express their feelings of injustice about the society through poems in the end of 80s’.







酝酿已旧的史诗歌舞剧《春雷动地》在隆雪华堂隆重登场，于12月18及19日演出为数3场震撼人心的舞台演出，结合歌、舞、诗呈献七十与八十年代的史迹，主要是围绕在影响华社深远的事件。
The epic musical 《Rolling Thunder》performed in the Chinese Assembly Hall of Kuala Lumpur and Selangor on 18 and 19 December which combines singing, dancing and poetry reading presented the historical incidents during 70s’ and 80s’, mainly the happenings that affected the Chinese community.

事隔36年，当年的春雷人许多以是年近或逾60岁，可是春雷并没有消失，在有心人的策划下，春雷再响。《春雷动地》虽然无法还原《春雷》当年的演出，不过却激起春雷当年的热情与精神。
After 36 years 《Spring Thunder》 being called off, under the planning and organization of the committee of 《Rolling Thunder》, the thunder roars again and it ignites the passion and spirit of the past years.



《春雷动地》共分为5幕，序曲舞出国家独立全民欢腾，第一幕《黝黑的春天》叙述种族冲突，人民生活在恐惧与伤痛中。第二幕《红色的闷雷》回溯带有左翼色彩、有凤凰、长江演员组成的香港银星艺术团获准前来大马演出，此次演出引起轰动，也埋下了文艺的种子，激发马大华文学会推出《春自人间来》表演及随后串联而成的全国性大型文艺表演《春雷》。第三幕《白色的动荡》演示华文教育斗士林连玉为捍卫华文教育而被遞夺公民权及万人出席他的葬礼的画面。第四幕《黄昏的大地》表演华族精英前扑后继提呈十五华团宣言，提出华族的诉求，逾百人在1987年的‘茅草行动’中被扣留……尾声《因为这个国家》描述朝阳初醒，全民紧握共创未来。
《Rolling Thunder》is divided into 5 chapters, the overture celebrates the independence of our country where all races dance joyfully. The first chapter 《The Black Spring》 tells the incident of ethnic conflict and the people are living in pain and sorrow. The second chapter 《The Red Thunder》traces back the performance of the Silver Star Arts Group in Malaysia which led to the production of 《Spring of The Earth》 and 《Spring Thunder》. In the third chapter 《The White Upheaval》 presents the abolishment of nationality of the pioneer of our Chinese education, Lin Lian Geok. The fifth chapter 《The Yellow Earth》 performs the elites and intellectuals of Chinese community continual presentation of the memorandum demanding for the local Chinese community and ends up with more than 100 people arrested during the ‘Thatch Action’. Lastly, a scenario of all residents arise, together, creating a better future and sing out our love for the country in the finale 《Because of You, My Country》.





为了美好的信念与国家的未来，推动历史前进的人们付出了惨痛的代价，诗人傅承德激昂慷慨地写到：“是这些人，为如今的大马及华社拨开云雾、是这些人，为下一代传下建设与争取的勇气和责任、是这些人，以血、一泪、以自由、以生命，照明了前路，点燃了希望，奠定了典范！”
让我们以《春雷动地》向前辈们致谢、向他们致敬！
Please allow us to thank our seniors and to salute the people who contributed for the community with 《Rolling Thunder》!
