I initially came up with the idea to have a stage show of TSONGKAPA'S LIFE. This manifested in having a great production called "Legend of the Conch Shell" which was very well recieved. We had one of Malaysia's top dancer Mr. Lee Swee Keong heading the leading part of Tsongkapa. Many people were very moved to tears during the show. It was quite touching in fact. I also shed tears during the show.

KECHARA WON 5 AWARDS FOR OUR FIRST TIME PRODUCTION!!!
The 8th Annual BOH Cameronian Arts Award 2009 has just finished. This
event is organised by www.kakiseni.com and the main sponsor is BOH
Plantations. BOH produces world class teas. Other sponsors include Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Alexis
Bistro, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Heineken and Red Communications.
Their cause is to promote local talents in the performing arts. It is a great event as the arts in this country is very important. This is Kakiseni's 8th year and final year.
More than 500 people from the local performing arts industry attended
the awards ceremony. It's an opportunity for Kechara to reach out to
this part of the community.
Kechara won five out of the six awards we were nominated for. They are:
1. Lee Swee Keong (lead dancer) won the Best Featured Performer for Legend of the Conch Shell!
2. Best Music and Sound Design
3. Best Choreographer in the Feature-Length Work
4. Best Costume Design

The above awards will be great credentials for promoting the bigger
production of Legend of the Conch Shell. Lama Tsongkhapa's name will
be popular in Malaysia.
This is our first step in realising a new department, Kechara
Performing Arts Department. We can bring many wonderful stories from buddhism into a modern setting for today's minds.
