The pandemic of COVID19 and the Movement Control Order (MCO) has opened up the minds of local theatre players to be more creative in applying the suitable medium in showcasing their creative performances. Thus, emerged various forms of virtual theatre known as `online theatre’. No one ever imagined that theatre performances would be performed online but now, it is a practical approach in ensuring the sustainability of the theatre art itself. However, various questions arose about online theatre in Malaysia, such as confusion with the understanding of the terms, forms, and concepts of the performance. This study and writing are based on the online theatre performance ~Sel Akhir’ by the Seni Ceritera Association and King Lear by the KL Shakespeare Players (KLSP). Based on Aristotle's Dramatic Elements approach, the authors used observation and comparison methods to explain the approach used by these two presentations and propose to our Malaysian theatre players a method of online performance that suits the current capabilities and requirements, known as hybrid theatre.
Teater Forum adalah sejenis terapi sosial di mana penonton tidak hanya menonton permainan tetapi juga digalakkan untuk mengambil bahagian dan memberikan idea-idea dan penyelesaian kepada masalah. Teater Forum boleh memberi peluang kepada remaja untuk bercakap untuk diri mereka sendiri, menyuarakan emosi dan perasaan mereka dengan cara yang betul dan selamat dan pada masa yang sama memberi alternatif dan penyelesaian kepada masalah mereka. Teater Forum telah berjaya dilakukan di negara-negara Eropah di bawah nama `Power Play’,`Therapy Play’, `Theatre of Revolution’ dan ‘Teater Forum untuk Perubahan Sosial’. Untuk mengesahkan keberkesanan pendekatan yang disesuaikan, bengkel bersama remaja bermasalah di dua pusat pemulihan dikenali sebagai Sekolah Tunas Bakti (STB) telah dijalankan. Dapatan daripada kedua-dua bengkel telah dikaji dan dianalisis dan diikuti dengan pendekatan yang sesuai untuk konteks Malaysia. Hasilnya akan menyediakan model bagi rakyat Malaysia yang berminat untuk mengaplikasi teknik pada masa depan. Forum Theater is a kind of social therapy where people are not just watching the game, but are also encouraged to participate in the game and provide ideas and solutions to the problems. Forum Theater can provide the opportunity for the adolescents to speak for themselves, voice their emotions and feelings in a proper and safe way, and at the same time give alternatives and solutions to their problems. Forum Theater has been successfully perfomed in European countries under the names of ‘Power Play’, ‘Theatre of Revolution’ and ‘Theatre for Social Change’. To implement the approach in Malaysia, some modifi cations and adjustments were made by adapting several other therapeutic approaches such as Psychodrama and Playback Theatre. To verify the eff ectiveness of the adopted approach, workshops with the troubled adolscents in two rehabilitation centres known as Tunas Bakti Schools (STB) were conducted. Results from these two workshops were studied and analyzed, and a new adapted approach appropriate for the Malaysian context has been constructed. The outcome will provide a model for Malaysians who are interested in applying the technique in future.
