Our Name

​

P7:1SMA (pronounced as PRISMA) refers to prism in Malay.

The letter 'R' and 'I' is replaced with 7:1 to symbolise the optical element of the triangular prism. Light is reflected to evoke spectral colours.

Our Philosophy:

Dance is a strategy, Malay is a concept

​

​

P7:1SMA, led by Norhaizad Adam, is a dance performance company that sees dance as a strategy and Malay as a concept. We merge tradition with contemporary practice to explore moral complexities and challenge the boundaries of tradition.

​

We are guided by respect and reciprocity, confronting moral dilemmas to challenge entrenched traditions. Through our works, we reshape perceptions of Malay culture and identity, inviting audiences to explore new realm of thoughts and appreciation.
