happy because:
the elements of the dance from concept, music, choreography and down to costume are all my favourites. i felt that i've achieved something w the item not because we've won any prize or anything but because the item was able to articulate to a certain extent (still got alot of zai ppl out there that i look up to!) what my ideals are in dance.
by my standards i actually think i've put in alot of effort in the item. On top of spending time on choreography (which means watching youtube btw), i even picked up adobe after effects to do the projector video. but i think all these effort are well worth it because the best part of the whole process was that i was able to share this w 16 other people in my item. when they said that they really enjoyed the dance and can feel it...it is as though they could feel what i am feeling just by doing the piece. they've worked hard and improved tremendously in 3 months and i am really proud of our performance. icing to the cake is that many ppl in the audience liked the dance too so yay
of course other than my item there are lots of gd stuff that happened w this DU: opportunity to be in wj dismas alvan's partay in the USA , watch dismas n chun's a moment to rmb, meet new friends/ catch up w old friends, take pictures, excuse to emo n drink, etc.
Sad because: all my 'happy' reasons + the fact that this is my last DU = sad. it's like you are just about to start something but it have to end already. the thought about having no more stage to perform is quite disturbing for any dancer i guess. feels like you've spent so much effort and time to hone your craft but suddenly there's no reason to improve anymore.
to kriss and dismas: u 2 are the power hse of krdance laa u all like how zai can! pls still got 1 yr make sure u all make full use of the year and impart all ur zai skills to the juniors can! (hint tech class hint DU/DP choreo!)
to current year 3s (goin yr 4s): step up! choreo more dance more watch youtube more. cherish all the time u have in the dance room! look how far you've come since year 1 don't let all those effort go to waste ok!
to dancers in OTL: alot of u r freshies n only did this item for this DU it's my honor that you chose OTL but i really hope u all will join more next year! feel really happy and excited for your krdance journey!
i know some of you maybe sad (or so i thought) that the fyfs are leaving/abandoning you guys but in many of ways, we are leaving a part of ourselves behind too.
when introduced to new friends, it's very natural for us to say "i'm a dancer" or "i dance" when asked for our interest. it will not be the same the next time i hear this question. i will hesitate. maybe it's time to examine what's left if the identity as a dancer is gone.
all said, i am really glad that i did this DU and even if i stop dancing from now on i would be able to look back and think of it as a nice full stop for my life as a dancer. however, i really want this to be comma instead of a full stop, a short respite in preparation of greater things to come.
BONUS!
pls watch all the way to the end! the last part is the bestttt for both
the last part sent chills down my spines the first time i watched it. now it still does.
same guy. shaun evaristoo is sooo dope.
