Was involved in the Lasalle Open House last friday and saturday. Strange that's it called open house now, coz usually we refer to it as C-Day. Maybe that didn't make sense to most people so they change to the more literal "Open House". Anyway, if you guys have been to Lasalle before you would have realized that the walls inside the school are painted by the students. Before the open house, the walls are all painted white again -_-" Gonna miss some of the paintings. So these few days, the arts students are painting new works on the walls. Saw quite a few jap-themed paintings. No more Joker Face painting. Haha...
Our dance faculty presnted three pieces, Loretta Livingstons's piece, Tammy's Bach solo, and Grace's hip-hop piece. I know the hip-hop piece is a high energy piece that drive the crowd, but I hope it doesn't give them the wrong assumption that hip-hop dance is one of our modules. Hmmm, I wonder how it'll be like if it is... Haha, can't imagine me popping and locking and doing contemp at the same time every morning.
I went to see the Fashion department's booth. They showed some designs by the students and there was also a projection on the wall that was playing one of their runway shows! I thought that was so cool! The F flexible space was transformed into a runway where the models enter from the door and did the catwalk. They had mostly angmoh models and some locals. I wonder where they got the models from. Sian, short person like me will never get to catwork down a high fashion runway show =/ Not that I care... =p Oh... and I saw this quote at the gallery:
"Perfection is regressive. It makes teenage girls aneroxic, academics neurotic, and artists act like a*sholes."
Watched Albert's "The Passing" on Saturday night. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, I DIDN'T FALL ASLEEP. I watched the whole piece. Kind of offends me how surprised the lasalle peeps were that I didn't doze off -.-" Hahaha... Well the piece is about death and how people perceive it to be. What can I say, the whole piece is.... deep. To be honest, I don't really understand what the whole thing is trying to say. Maybe that's why I was awake, trying very hard to understand and enlighten myself. The Frontier dancers are very good as always. Made used of speech too, in Mandarin of course.
The following weeks are gonna be busy. Oh! I may get a chance to do the Omar chair solo for FWM =) I hope I won't disappoint anyone. Okay, jiayou dance cultures. Jiayou performance theory. Jiayou FWM. Jiayou Coppelia maybe :p Franz better come back soon and improve on his horrible technique.
I don't know what mattters to me. What is important, what is not?Haha... a random thought, PIZZA HUT!
