Cast & Crew of Contengan Hidup - Luahan Tidak Berketepian (2011)
NUS Malay Dance was first established in the early eighties and was renamed ‘NUS Ilsa Tari’ in 1998. The prolific renaming ushered in a new era of creativity, modernity and daring. Under the guidance of tutor/choreographer Osman Abdul Hamid – a Singapore Young Artist Award winner – Ilsa experiments with both traditional and contemporary Malay dance. NUS Ilsa Tari specialises in dance fusions and has established a stellar reputation within the national dance scene. Combining hard work, passion, fun and the flair for the dramatic, Ilsa and its team of dedicated dancers continue to inspire audiences with uniquely vibrant performances.

Ilsa Tari Annual Production: Akur - Menyerah... Takdir (A Vow - In the Face of Destiny)
Date: 22 September 2012 (Saturday)
Time: 3pm, 8pm
Venue: UCC Theatre
Tickets: TBA
Under the direction of Osman Abdul Hamid, NUS Ilsa Tari presents Akur – Menyerah… Takdir (A Vow – In the Face of Destiny). This production will explore women’s roles and responsibilities in life. Women’s God-given role to procreate is one that is truly divine and unique. Daughter, wife, mother... Do women have the strength to bear these responsibilities? Can women emerge from social constraints, empowered, to survive and succeed through life’s challenges? Women may strive to step forward and play the roles that were once only reserved for men. However, no matter what, she will always be governed by laws of nature, which are inescapable by all. Women’s roles as daughter, wife and mother are predestined; regardless our status or the nature of our society.
