Grand workshop culmination and reflections

Indeed, the workshop has culminated well with graduation. I knew I have done my best in the recital and it was fantastic. I didn't forget any lines but there are some very minor lapses.

I realized that on backstage I was gradually relaxing with my heart still beating fast. But as I went to the stage area, I subconsciously shift that nervousness with excitement and with confidence.

As sir Roeder said "Energy follows thought", so we received the energy from the dance workshop performance and we really did put that energy to a boost.

Now, I know that nothing is without an audience, but an audience makes a difference in the performance, because the energy of their presence is focused on the performers when they watch. I have felt that energy.

Between Easter Monday and yesterday, has been a memorable period for all the workshoppers. I told them this: "This will be our future memory which we will be reminiscing in a few months time."

I am very glad that I had a chance to know them all well. I am pleased that if I wouldn't be there I would not experience the epiphany of social comradeship, interaction and acting enhancement.

"Break a leg, Break a arm and break your neck". There you go, I finished the line where typical actors used to say.

I have a conclusion that Procrastination, Ningas Cogon (Initial enthusiasm transforms into final boredom), Laziness are the factors contributing to the workshopper's ability during the workshop. At the end there will always be a success with an audience. No matter how bad the critical period of rehearsals are, the show will always be great.

Energy is the motivator, breathing is the mean and the performance is the end. Without breathing, we cannot perform theatrically and vocally.

Even the closest moments with another person in the workshop is treasured with glee. That life one person must co-exist with life of another person.


To the workshoppers:

Always remember that Sir Roeder and Sir Onyl are the ones who transformed us into a magnificent butterfly of confidence through workshop metamorphosis. You helped me understand and grow in the journey of life. We as one unit for the summer, was a fairly trans-cultural interaction and definitely no lapses and some bad times. We pushed each other up to the sky when the others are down. These are the benefits of this group.

God bless you all and remember follow where your hearts tends to go and you shall meet your dreams with grace. Thanks for everything.
