ABOUT THE YOUNG BLOOD EXPERIMENT (TYBE)

The Young Blood Experiment (TYBE) is EJKLS Seni’s year-long mentoring programme, run by EJKLS Seni's Artistic Director, Asyraf Syahir (Acap), with the aim to train and nurture new and aspiring writer-directors based in Kuala Lumpur for free – with the mission to enrich the local theatre ecosystem in Malaysia with new directing and writing talents. The programme is a highly structured 3-semester learning programme that runs over the span of 1 year – carefully designed with quality lectures, tutorials and practical sessions (covering the topics of writing, directing, dramaturgy, scenography, and sound design). The fourth instalment of the mentoring programme features Lok Shi Hoong, Adelia Khalid, Yanu, Hanna Lee, and Yuthes Umadevi Navarithinam who were selected through a careful interview process to be part of the 2025 TYBE cohort. 

ABOUT EJKLS SENI

EJKLS Seni (CA0321697-T) is a self-funded social-oriented arts collective with the aim to provide an inclusive safe-space for arts practitioners in Malaysia to create and present original artistic works with social relevance. We intend to champion adult-oriented contents, original art works, and social commentaries in our productions and events; aside from strongly advocating for accessibility towards arts and arts education. Our collective originated as a theatre-based group, and over the years have ventured into other forms of arts, including poetry, music, dance, and visual arts – with the aim to bridge in the gaps between the different scenes in the arts community. TO date, EJKLS Seni has produced multiple events, ranging from theatre productions (i.e., "Egotesticle", “Garam”, “Dara, Darah, & Amarah”, & “Why Do We Dream What We Dream When We Dream What We Dream”), multidisciplinary arts events (i.e., Breaking Borders), poetry events (i.e., “Senggama Kata” & “Pabila Aksara Berasmara”), and music events (i.e., Kampong Session).

EJKLS Seni strongly advocates for accessibility towards arts and arts education. Over the years, we have started multiple education-based initiatives – among them are The Young Blood Experiment (TYBE), Arts Accessibility Programme (AAP), Creators’ Lab, and the Actors’ Safe Stage Initiative.
