Rehearsal Month

This is truly the month of rehearsals......

Been doing rehearsals for two shows concurrently. One of them is the Boon Seng play: Bondage and then the other is by us ARTivate: CityS

The only other time I did two shows so close to each other was Zhou Chu and CBL back in Huay Guan...... That time proved to be super-disastrous because I was basically screwing up everything that I was doing.... Also because I was rather new to the professional way and was struggling to learn properly.....

But this time is different..... To my surprise, I managed to keep up and do my work properly.... Maybe because this is just the beginning..... ARTivate rehearsals started just one week ago....

But nevertheless, I am quite confident that I will do my work properly all the way to the end........

I guess I have no other choice.... Neither do I want to have that option.....

Even if I was so busy and sometimes quite tired with rehearsals, I am still quite happy doing it.....

I am truly glad that I joined both productions.......

Rehearsals are always so fun...... You never run out of things to see and learn and do and think about.......

And I really think ARTivate rehearsals are the best.......

Like yesterday, we were tasked to improvise a short play..... All you can see among the ARTivators are helping each other complete the task, coming up with ideas generously, accepting other people's ideas instead of fighting with each other to be heard, voluntarily helping to pass information around, practising hard to make sure they get things right and doing their part very eagerly instead of standing around waiting for the leader to do everything......

I am really happy and grateful to be in ARTivate...... All of us are so good together and the creative energy is just so........... touching.......

And yesterday was like proof of what I was talking about.......

Its just wonderous how the 10-plus of us young people work well together.....

And Wanjing and Junwei are very fun directors to be with....... Both very different directors, but both fun to work with......... And you can learn quite alot by just observing how they do their stuff.....

Jiayou everyone! Lets put up a good show in July and August!

And I pray I will go through safely as well.....
