Seni Pencak Silat

[iugte]

Dear Friends of Martial Arts!

 

Greetings from the club “Wu Jing” and the International University Global Theatre Experience (IUGTE)! On July 5–11, 2004 our university is lucky to receive the master of Seni Pencak Silat from Malaysia Assoc. Prof. Dr. Haji Zainal Abdul Latiff.

 

I would like to invite you to join the meeting and take part

in the workshop on Seni Pencak Silat under his guidance.

 

The workshop will take place in the network of the International Festival

THEATRE METHODS 04 in Malpils, Latvia.

 

Training in the Seni Pencak Silat mode helps to develop:

1. Awareness – of one self, other selves, space and tempo.

2. Concentration and Focus.

3. Body mind coordination.

4. Precision and Intensity.

5. Body Posture, Body Control, and Body Balance.

6. Grounded and Aligned Bodies.

7. Self Confidence and Agility.

 

During the workshop, participants will be introduced the basic SPS movements.

Section 1 - Basic Warm-Up movements.

Section 2 - Basic Hand movements called the Flower.

Section 3 - First, Second and Third ‘JURUS’ (movement patterns).

Section 4 - ‘Silat Tari’ or the Warrior Dance.

Section 5 - Creative Project. Dr.Zainal would like to show how the SPS is in a short scene from a Malay script “Death of A Warrior”, a famous Malay legend. This section will demonstrate the vocal pattern, texture and energy, suitable to the kind of movements they have gone through. ‘Pantuns’ will also be introduced; this may also be exposed to RANDAI, the Martial Arts Theatre of the Minangkabau Malays.
