2 weeks have passed since the mega production where my 'kids' had a part to play in.
It was a first time for all of them to be involved in a performance so massive that I am sure it was something they will never forget.
It was definitely a good platform for the students to learn how things work backstage, the numerous rehearsals each performer has to go through before a show, the tears and joy shared with the whole team and sharpening their abilities to handle any last minute changes. All for the audience to enjoy a great performance.
I was already heavily involved in the performing arts since primary school (and all the way to JC - had to stop after that) so I understand how exhilirating and nerve-wrecking it is while waiting for their turn to go on stage. However, they were involved in just 2 scenes of the whole musical so there was a lot of waiting in between.
And kids being kids, they filled up the time monkey-ing around and taking pictures!
After a while, I got their bug and ended up joining them in the camwhoring moments :P
They had to put up three shows and husby and I went for the last one , which was on Saturday evening. I felt like a mum to all 22 of them because I was just excited to see them perform, and was waiting in anticipation for their appearance on stage.
I have watched Sri Warisan's earlier productions the past years. Both husby and I feel that they have much to improve when it comes to script writing because there have been areas where the dialogues / movements just fell flat. Some parts also seemed draggy, as if there was a lack of ideas for the character. However, I would say this Bendahara production is the best one among all the other productions of theirs.
Their set designs were done by the very well-known Istana Budaya of Malaysia. I like all the designs for the various scenes.
And the students are still talking about the production - and harping on how much they miss the whole experience. Good! More to come, I hope :)
Ok, my outfit may look a bit funny but I actually like it ... haha ! It was meant to be a skirt but being the very petite me , I ended up wearing it as a dress . I had initially wanted to alter the length but I think now I shall keep it as it is.
