    Negotiating Visuals: Roles of Images in a Site-Specific Performance

    Negotiating Visuals: Roles of Images in a Site-specific Performance Muhizam Mustafa* and Roslan Chin School of the Arts, Universiti Sains Malaysia, MALAYSIA *Corresponding author: [email protected] Published online: 25 January 2019 To cite this article: Muhizam Mustafa and Roslan Chin. 2019. Negotiating visuals: Roles of images in a site-specific performance. Wacana Seni Journal of Arts Discourse 18(Supp. 1): 47–52. https://doi.org/10.21315/ws2019.18.Supp.1.7. To link to this article: https://doi.org/10.21315/ws2019.18.Supp.1.7 ABSTRACT Wilkie (2004) in her research "Out of Place" discussed that theatre has a long history of experimenting with a variety of spatial configurations and visual relationships. However, it is only in the last two decades that the label "site-specific" has been applied to theatrical performance, indicating a new mode of place-bound practice. This paper looks at the association between a performative engagement with place and space and the role of visuals and scenography; an enhancement of a site-specific spatial formatted performance. The study also looks at the function of images as one area of the theatrical's "visual systems" that affects the creation and reception of a play. "Bermulanya Di Sini…Kedah Tua" is a contemporary theatrical research project based upon the archaeological findings in Lembah Bujang. The performance combines three different fields of study: performance, archaeology, and history. This research combines the idea of theory and practice to decode literary and historical sources by triangulating the relationship between archaeological artefacts, architectural space and time. Keywords: visual projection, scenography, site-specific, performance, archaeology INTRODUCTION The intersection between performative elements and theatrical exploration of space is a continuous process of negotiation.

    1 Orang Asli and Melayu Relations

    1 Orang Asli and Melayu Relations: A Cross-Border Perspective (paper presented to the Second International Symposium of Jurnal Antropologi Indonesia, Padang, July 18-21, 2001) By Leonard Y. Andaya In present-day Malaysia the dominant ethnicity is the Melayu (Malay), followed numerically by the Chinese and the Indians. A very small percentage comprises a group of separate ethnicities that have been clustered together by a Malaysian government statute of 1960 under the generalized name of Orang Asli (the Original People). Among the “Orang Asli” themselves, however, they apply names usually associated with their specific area or by the generalized name meaning “human being”. In the literature the Orang Asli are divided into three groups: The Semang or Negrito, the Senoi, and the Orang Asli Melayu.1 Among the “Orang Asli”, however, the major distinction is between themselves and the outside world, and they would very likely second the sentiments of the Orang Asli and Orang Laut (Sea People) in Johor who regard themselves as “leaves of the same tree”.2 Today the Semang live in the coastal foothills and inland river valleys of Perak, interior Pahang, and Ulu (upriver) Kelantan, and rarely occupy lands above 1000 meters in elevation. But in the early twentieth century, Schebesta commented that the areas regarded as Negrito country included lands from Chaiya and Ulu Patani (Singora and Patthalung) to Kedah and to mid-Perak and northern Pahang.3 Most now live on the fringes rather than in the deep jungle itself, and maintain links with Malay farmers and Chinese shopkeepers. In the past they appear to have also frequented the coasts.

  • A Gravity Survey of Perlis, Kedah and Penang

    A Gravity Survey of Perlis, Kedah and Penang

    Geol. Soc. Malaysia, Bulletin 26, April 1990; pp. 13 - 20 A gravity survey of Perlis, Kedah and Penang ALAN J. BURLEY AND JAMALUDIN OTHMAN Geological Survey of Malaysia, P.O. Box 1015, 30820 Ipoh. Abstract: The results of a gravity survey of northwest Peninsular Malaysia are pre­ sented, forming the fIrst stage of a survey of the whole Peninsula. The aim is to obtain as uniform a coverage as possible, initially using 4WD vehicles and boats for transport. At a later stage it is anticipated that areas not otherwise accessible will be reached using a helicopter. The results can be largely explained in terms of the confIguration of granitic rocks. A steep gravity gradient follows approximately the boundary of the Main Range granite in a series ofen echelon northwest and northeast trending sections. The extent and steepness of the gradient along some sections implies steeply dipping contacts between granite and sediments extending to depths of a few kilometres. It is steepest along the section coinciding with the Bok Bak fault, for which there is some indication of a possible extension northwestwards into Perlis: here it could have influenced the deposition ofthe Tertiary Bukit Arang coal beds, which show a signifIcant gravity response. If there has been major lateral movement along this fault and/or faults parallel to it, a net sinistral displacement of about 30 kilometres is suggested by the gravity results. The Gunung J erai granite is shown to be much more extensive underground than at outcrop, and the results show that the Pulau Pinang, Kulim and Main Range granites are all connected at relatively shallow levels.

He said although the issue which is deemed as quite complex, as both parties have their own stand and views, a win-win situation between the two states can be achieved if the welfare of the people is given priority. Mohd Yusrizal Yusoff, hoped that the federal government would intervene to find a solution to the issue that would benefit both parties. “As a representative of consumers of this state (Kedah), we hope that the two state governments can come to an agreement on the issue soon,” he told Bernama. The Kedah state government has repeatedly demanded the Penang government to pay RM50 million a year for extracting raw water from Sungai Ulu Muda, but this had been ignored by the latter. Mohd Yusrizal said there was a justifiable reason for Kedah to make the demand because the Ulu Muda water catchment area in the state has been well maintained, enabling Penang to enjoy raw water supply from Sungai Muda. However, he said there were some areas in Kedah where residents still do not have access to good water supply, possibly due to unsatisfactory water supply-related infrastructure facilities.
