'Metamorfosis' Musical Drama At Pustaka Miri

Posted on 11 June 2012

MIRI – Institut Pendidikan Guru Sarawak Campus collaborated with Pustaka Miri
to stage a musical drama entitled ‘Metamorfosis’ recently on Saturday,
25^th February 2012.

 

Some 200 persons came to watch the musical, which
was staged in Bahasa Malaysia,
in the library’s Auditorium from 2:00pm to 5:00pm.

 

The musical drama was aimed to promote awareness on
dyslexia and at the same time, taught the audience drama techniques for
contemporary drama as well as techniques to help students with dyslexia and
motivate teenagers to be achievers.

 

‘Metamorfosis’ won the Best Choreographer Award
during the 2011 Sarawak
Chief Minister Cup Drama Competition in October 2011.

 

The actors, dancers and singers are multi-racial
teacher trainees from a range of special fields including mathematics, English,
Chinese, special education and remedial education.

 

The story is about a boy who was rejected because of
dyslexia but became a great dancer and in turn, he helps others to develop
their talents.

 

Although the staging for the musical was simple as
it was a contemporary drama, the message it tried to convey was that everyone
deserves a chance to shine and that everyone has something to offer.
