The December Market will be hosting a number of new activities. Our Programme will be as follows :
11.00 a.m. Wayang Gedek Workshop (1st Session)
Jabatan Warisan Negara, Kuala Lumpur has kindly arranged for us to have
the services of En Md Shukri bin Edrus, an esteemed puppeteer, to hold
a session on the making of wayang kulit for children. There will be a
short talk on wayang kulit- wayang gedek and this will be followed with
a hands-on session where children will be taught to make the wayang
kult forms using cheap and simple material. Some of the more popular
faces that are easily made include Pak Dogol, Wak Long, Ai Thong, Ai
Keaw and Nunui.
Materials
used include cardboard, bamboo, string and paint. They will be made
using scissors and cutters. This session can be done with the whole
family and it will promote the heritage arts of the country to our
young ones. The participants will also be taught how to play with the
puppets. The languages used will be English and Malay.
2.00 p.m. Christmas Carolling
Come
bask in the spirit of Christmas and share our Christmas cheer. The
committee thanks Marlene Fox for bringing the melodious voices of the
IWA Choir to the Market thus spreading the goodwill and cheer of the
season amongst the guests and shoppers this Sunday.
4.00 p.m. Wayang Gedek Workshop (2nd Session)
Along with this we are also featuring a few new vendors including
