PERMISI is a non-curated platform for anyone to make it and share it with friends from our larger community. Since 2019, 25 artists from varied disciplines have benefited from this open sharing.
​
'Permisi' is an interjection in Malay-Indonesian that is commonly used in speech to apologise when seeking a clarification. This effort is a homage to Eng Kai Er's 'Make it Share it' Philosophy.
We recognise that performance-making can be a personal and intimate experience. Our hope is to encourage you to have agency to make and share ideas, with no need to seek permission. Enjoy being in dialogue and meeting different supporters of the Arts.

In 2017, Eng Kai Er, the infamous scientist-turn-dance artist, founded Make It Share It (MISI), a community-run performing studio for artists to gather, learn, and share. Each month, they would run an Open Stage programme, which hosted dancers, theatre practitioners, and even poets. MISI closed its doors in December 2018, two short years after its inception. Eng Kai Er then made an incredibly generous decision to donate their dance mats to Rumah P7:1SMA. The spirit of MISI then lives on at P7:1SMA; witnessing and supporting the creation process and capability development of our associate artists.
Permisi is a homage to Kai Er and the philosophy that built MISI. Permisi will renew her mission in creating an unrestrained platform for artists to perform and share their works.
