Perak Arts Festival 2012 (2)

Day 1 of the Perak Arts Festival ..btw...saw posters of the program of whats available...don't understand why the papers or more of these posters were not put up around town.

,,,art appeals to everyone irrespective of their age

..anyway the festival started at 5pm with street performances in front of the City Council Offices...and it was LIVELY!!...This percussion group from SMK Sultan Azlan Shah,Bota was super!!!

..they had the audience bip-bopping and provided the accompaniment for the break-dance and flash-mob troupes.

 ..the vitality of the performance got the attention of all present...

of course some showmanship helped....

which kinda got the party started

...everyone wanted to get in on the act

...and then like a party started....

...looked like a joget dance session after awhile...

...obviously appreciated by all...

..the next flash-mob and grafitti event??!!!

 ..the grafitti artist starts with a blank sheet...and as the music and dance gets the inspiration to create...(there were 2 artists)....interesting inspiration

...at night the fest continued with the official opening....and more colorful activities...

..not sure if these lovely ladies are art but they certainly added to the beauty of the evening

...at the pavilions....cultural games and music.....

 Malay kompang group

...these orang asli dancers....lovely

....and of course the State's Kumpulan Selendang dancers....

....the festival ends tomorrow Sunday 16....check it out.Its an eye opener.
