Not the South China Seas nor Marshall Islands as intimated. Thank you.

S2E2: Dr. Ann Lee | Award-winning playwright & co-founder of Kuali Works Malaysia’s pioneer all-women production house

Season Two, Episode Two: 2nd August, 2021.

Summary:

Welcome to Season Two of the Listen by Heart Podcast, where we feature Stories from the Women of the South China Seas. In this episode, podcast host Jasmine Low has a conversation with Dr. Ann Lee, and we establish that it was in September 1994 when Kuali Works, an all-women arts company specialising in theatre, TV and publications in Malaysia was founded. Ann Lee, Karen Quah, Goh Soon Siew, Anita Zafina Mat Fadzil, and Shahimah (Charmaine W) Idris took the name of ‘Kuali Works’ from a household product that can be found in most, if not all Malaysian households, irrespective of colour or creed: the kuali or wok. We liked the tastiness of ‘creating food for thought’, reads a paragraph in Sex, Stage & State: Kuali Works plays and this is what we explore in this episode – what went on behind the creation of food for thought.
