Dear Friend,
We invite you to participate in a workshop conducted by Mr. Rohaizad Suaidi, the director and initiator of the Ophelia Project, who recently staged OPs OPHELIA: a FaShioN opera with Artsee Networks at Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka.
Ops OPHELIA was the first of a series of performances that make up the larger, community-based Ophelia Project which aims to provide a creative platform for the exploration of gender issues. Find out more about the Ophelia Project at www.artsee.net/ophelia
Mr. Suaidi will provide workshop participants with an interactive exploration of the creative process of how to transform an idea or concept inspired by works of literature and art into a piece of theatre involving various performance disciplines and traditions.
Participants can expect to be:
. treated to a video and multimedia presentation,
. involved in actual theatre-making exercises,
. presenting/performing their own “mini theatre projects” to be completed during the last hour of the workshop.
British Council is proud to support the Ophelia Project and welcomes this opportunity to work together with Mr. Suaidi to provide a fun and practical introduction to the process of non-commercial and alternative theatre-making.

I think you people should go for this. Rohaizad is a good teacher, and very interesting, if a bit eccentric (in a nice way).
Keep posting info on workshops etc...
