30th june was the fateful day of the performance...Malam Kilir Jati...the crowd was great with many big names in the cultural circles coming to see the newly choreographed works of the dance groups in singapore... well, i dunno how i really did on the performance itself, but some people said that i made very obvious boo boos...but hey...kata baru mula kan...so i cant be blamed...i tried to give my best, and i think that i did manage to put in about at least 80%...if not for the tight corset-like bengkung that i forced myself to wear...but the overall vibe i got was a positive one...so i am not going to complain much...and we made new friends again with the other kumpulans...just my social bee speaking there...so fun!!!
but i guess the more eventful thing to write on would actually be the rehearsals...kilir jati rehearsals were not really a bed of roses - from the flare-ups, to the apparent miscommunication and consequent misunderstandings, the politics, the leadership issues - the list goes on and on as to what went wrong and what could be considered a conundrum of unpleasantness... i will just touch in brief as to what the main highlights were...
1) TAPAC stinks of cat-poo
2) Changes in dance all the way till the last day
3) Cohesion issues between seniors and juniors
4) Insensitive bastards pooping from their oral cavities
5) Communication problems between EVERYONE
6) Physical and mental fatigue
7) Over-sensitive ME
so all these highlights put together really churned out a veritable mess. during rehearsals that is. but of course, inevitably the performance would also be affected. so there.
thank goodness for gay peeps who really made everything bearable at least (and no, i am not referring to you amin)
and if kilir jati was not enough, we had perkampungan tari like 4 days after that. that was another highlight in my tarian career. we had a full run through on the basics and the intricacies of tarian, which culminated in our choreographing a piece for assessment. hehehe... we had some practice in the morning on the beach...really cool...and had musical and vocal inclusion in tarian... the second day, me and sapee choreographed a piece called "hayat" which we got the highest marks for (85/100) and though i dun want to sound arrogant, i am actually pretty proud of it, and when abang kamil chose me and rozzy to choreograph the finale piece, i was actually filled with quiet pride... and most importantly, i passed the camp. hehehehe, not that the points really matter, but only 3 people passed...hahahaha...
tarian is actually going somewhere. that's good. i am happy. :)
