Well, We just ended our Magic Day @ The Arena... 1 word to describe it - "Fantastic" Its damn good, I tell you.
I certainly learnt alot through this process. This is the first time I did such a major work and handling of sound and lights. There are times that I am lost, but I glad I learnt something different this time. You should never trust someone that is not the professional in that line, even though he is the innocent party. Because he can just screw you up in the event and then, you can't scold him, like what's the point... So suck thumb... But I did learnt from that.
During the Magic Day, I also showcased my show, which to me, is a big challenge. How to bring out the character in me? How to face the audience? When the curtains open, I was overwhelmed by the sea of crowd. There is a rush in me, its good... I love to do for crowds like that, give me the energy to do my work. A lot of people can say, performing is not hard la... But I can tell you, its so different. Ning and J C, when they performed on stage, its very natural, even hosting on stage, it sounds so natural. When I go on stage, I got the urge to be "scripted". Ya its better to script your scores, but when talk about natural, its far beyond scripting...
Its just like musicians, I have heard musicians that played different from the score, yet control the rhythm and key so well, that sucks people into the music, thats why I like music playing in the past that much. Same goes to performing, when you become natural with your character, you will pull people into you, they believe you are one, and enjoy the moments.
I not there yet, but I fighting to be there, I wanted to be there, because seeing how they can merge with the audience is captivating, I want to be like that, making my show the best the market can find.
Well, a long journey to go, but I have a good start with a strong guidance ahead, I believe I won't be lost if I listen and follow. And trust the friends around me. :) We are all working towards performing to audience that deserve our time and efforts. |
