ART MAKING PROCESS
Contemporary visual artist Liew Kung Yu was the designer and art director for the production of STOP! LOOK! GO! The direction he took in the visual design of the performance drew heavily from the current trends of the time, which were influencing the target audience group of Malaysians aged between 15 and 17 years old. Using a palette of neon ‘pop’ colours, the set for the production consisted of a ‘prize wheel’ and four chairs which were designed to stand out and be engaging in the often drab surroundings of school halls and uniforms. The prize wheel was divided into five different coloured segments akin to a pie chart. Each segment was then decorated in contrasting colours and titled according to the different kinds of conflict which the students had learned about. The four chairs were wrapped in seat covers, which were embroidered in bright contrasting colours, using sparkling and glittery thread; the legs of each chair were also wrapped in bright, sparkly gauze material. This neon pop design also flowed into the costumes of the performers, who were decked out in an overwhelming mash-up of the latest fashions of the times; pop socks, tights, mini skirts and dresses, etc.
