Theatre for All (Teater Untuk Semua) @ Taylor University

What a stunning Saturday night! One of my good friends was able to secure a special ticket for me and another good friend to attend a special event titled "Theatre For All" (Teater Untuk Semua). Persons with disabilities performed their acting in the theatre. Honestly, it is difficult to obtain due to the limited invitation. It is the most meaningful theatre experience I have ever had. Anyway, we came to support our friends, Gejaletchumi and Dino who are performing in the theatre. It took place on September 28 at Taylor University's Experimental Theatre.

It is a very moving experience to see different people with disabilities immerse themselves in theatre performances. They did a fantastic job of expressing their feelings. Because they commit their time to practicing and performing their acting in order to have an inclusive performance over the course of 12 weeks. It is best to immerse yourself in their world so that you can imagine what it looks like. Anyway, I was unable to share each of their stories because they expressed their true feelings so sincerely. I hope it will reach out to the public very soon. It is a must-see! Anyway, my good friends and I are grateful for the opportunity to witness their beautiful performance.

Aside from that, I was surprised and pleased to see my juniors after 15 years of not seeing each other. Absolutely, it makes me happy to see them again. Time passes so quickly. 

Overall, we hope to see this type of theatre reach out to the public because it can raise awareness about how different people with disabilities can perform and interact together. It can encourage more people to get ideas to plan programs, training, workshops, or theatre that are more inclusive and accessible to people with disabilities.
