Saman

Dear everyone!
Good news for all of us, Indonesian Society will be performing still in International week.
It was a sad case that some of our dancers were not allowed to perform in Cultural Performance because they do not allow under 18s in bar events
Therefore we have pushed for our child dancers to have a spot in
The ISA Pageant 2010
Thursday week 7 25 February 2010 from 8.30-finish (about 11.30) in Wentworth, Edge
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=321337157640
which is a non-alcoholic event, as well as for charity
The event raises fund for RAG, and it's free entry for everyone!!!
Therefore everyone should come because it'd be really fun!

Since we are performing in a week
we'reholding practice at Sri's House
week 6
Today! (Thursday 18) at 7-9
Friday 19 7-9
week 7
Monday 8-10
Tueseday 8-10
Wednesday 8-10

I have booked for the D-Day
W/307 from 7.30pm until end of show
you can practice and prepare for the rehearsal

in the last practice we have learnt all the moves
in the next practices we're going to learn to sing together and do the moves quickly
next week we'll be drilling the run through
hopefully we can pull off an amazing performance and gather some applause from here and there :)

See you at practice!

Updates

Hi everyone!

Thank you for those who came to the Indonesian Film Screening! I'm glad everyone is impressed! [Naturally!]

Just a little update on our activities~

We will continue our Saman practice this week on Saturday and Sunday 5pm at Sri's house
Unfortunately, we won't be performing in ISA Cultural Performance anymore because they do not allow our under 18 performers to enter the event
Nevertheless, we hope we will able to perform next term in Woodstock, as we have been invited by YUSU; and hey, it's for the good cause of charity!
So hopefully it will work out :)

As International Week is approaching~
We will be having a stall in ISA Fiesta, so watch out for the tickets because it will sell out fast~
For those who are cooking, could you please send us a list of what kitchen utensils that you need that you don't have already by Monday 15th
Shopping list will be sent out soon

That's all for now! See you~~

In short it's a story of a group of young kids from a poor village who struggled for education against the pressure of becoming coolies
It's not only about poverty but also about justice. This is one of the most popular film in Indonesia and indeed very touching; one you cannot easily forget.

Bring your friends along for a nice movie~
There will be snacks and drinks ;))
