Rethinking Public Relations

Location: Think & Think

(previously known as Ting & Ting Supermarket)

Curatorial Statement:

As our hub is in the process of transiting into new space and new normal (Post Covid 19), we see our roles evolving within the community due to the new challenges post Covid 19. Along the way, we seek to update our operational model and be the enabler of impactful community projects.

In coping with new normal, we expect the invited specialists to work with us closely on exploring, testing and setting up a series of public relation models that can be adopted by Borneo Laboratory @ Think & Think. For which, we believe will also extend its impacts to the community scale.

*This exploration is made possible with the aid of this grant and endorsement from British Council Malaysia and Sime Darby. — at Ting Ting Supermarket.

Uncharted Territory
Creator: Abdul Walid bin Ali
Overview:
Immersive theatre is one of a contemporary shows and most people still did not know how this type of theatre works. The renowned Ting & Ting has been chosen by Walid Ali and Wendy Teo Bin as a subject study for this project. Both artistes always discuss about stories or narrative from the space historically, practically and
socially. Walid will explore dramatic elements of the space by suggesting stories and audience participations while Wendy Teo Bin will explore multi-funtionality architectural elements and dramatise them. It is hoped that the theatre will be Borneo Laboratory's theatre styles since the immersive theatre uncharted in
Malaysia.
