Organised ten years after the passing of pioneering Malaysian theatre director Krishen Jit (1939-2005), this contemporary theatre conference explored his performance practice in relation to the ongoing work of experimental and interdisciplinary artists from Malaysia and abroad.
Unfinished Business brought together arts researchers, practitioners, academics, and students whose work have in some way been influenced or inspired by the thinking and practice of Jit, in an effort to gain a deeper understanding of the nature of this practice and to extrapolate on its future application in culture and the arts.
Over three days, the conference unfolded via performances, keynote addresses, panel discussions, workshop dialogues, and story dialogues. Presenters included those who had collaborated extensively with Jit since the 1970s and more recently, as well as individuals whose encounters with Jit were minimal but nonetheless critical in apprehending the significance and scope of contemporary performance.
