The Balloon Cocoons

One month ago, one of my agent arranged an event for us on 31 March 2008. As the location - Carlton Hotel Empress Ballroom's stage is pretty small and the ceiling is low. The client wanted us to propose another show instead of our usual stage performance- "Cyber Freak!"

Previously Roy and I already have an idea of creating a show with elements of art. It is very challenging to expose the arts to Dinner and Dance as most of the guest are more interested on the food and "yum seng". The quality of the performance have to be very strong to attract the audience and out beat the FOOD!

Based on the original concept of our previous musical drama show - THE REBORN HUMAN. We add in some other customized ideas that Roy and I had compiled, we finally created the show which focus on as follow: -
At the beginning, 2 "springy" objects will 'roll" onto the stage. Later on, the performers will blow up a balloon in the top part of each "springy" (which look like a light bulb). After that, the 2 performers will crawl into their own balloon and let the balloon cramped onto their body (which look like a cocoon). Later on, a cocoon will break out from the balloon and helps the dancing female cocoon to transform into a butterfly.

At that day itself (this Monday) I was so nervous despite all the rehearsals. Probably it is the first day I am doing this show. My other performer friends - Edmund and Alan came to video the show and give some "comments" on our performance. Thank god that the show goes on well, and the crowd are satisfy with the performance:-)

Some picutres below for an idea of how the story line goes......




Alan only managed to take 6 photos as my camera's memory is full. I was so focus on rehearsal until I forget to delete them. Luckly Alan's video down the show with his camera. Will edit it then post it on my blog/website. So folks, stay tune yea..... ;-)
