The Kesuma Dance Showcase "aims to demonstrate the learning outcomes of practical courses offered to students during the semester, assessed by dance lecturers and instructors throughout the staging of the dance showcase. This showcase also serves as a platform for students to create, manage, and present a stage production as well as to introduce and promote programs offered by the Dance Department of the Cultural Centre, University of Malaya".
For Kesuma alumni like Ani, Amah, Kazi and moi, it was a trip down memory lane when we attended the dance showcase recently, because we were the pioneer batch in 1971/1972. But I was a member of Kesuma only for a year while the rest lasted for the duration of our Varsity years. (They had the reward of touring Bangkok, Hong Kong and Manila).
Indeed the ten dances of the showcase were performed well (with just one or two obvious glitches). The dancers' costumes were rich and 'classy'.
A memorable end to the evening was when Professor Dr Mohd Anis Md Noor (Advisor of this Kesuma Dance Showcase and witty compere as well!) called on the Kesuma alumni to join the performers on stage. Thank you for enabling us to relive our Kesuma experience.
