Poetry has long been a tool for resistance, healing, and hope. This Saturday, Persatuan Penulis Berbilang Bahasa (PEN Malaysia) is hosting One Hour: On Belonging, a fundraiser that brings together poets, performers, and activists for an hour of powerful expression. The show supports artistic and humanitarian work in Palestine and Myanmar—and joining us to talk about it is PEN Malaysia member, Deborah Augustine.

Joining me to talk about this new full-length dance work is its creator, choreographer and dancer Ethel Deidre, developed through the REFLEKT Residency by Goethe-Institut Malaysia.

Into Still Life is a performance that invites us to slow our pace and notice the quiet relationships between stillness and movement. It looks at how tension, balance, and presence shape our experience of the world. We hear more from the artists behind it, Aiwei Foo and Kent Lee, from the Shaman Tearoom.
