otherside of the world
i'm in a stage where life feels kinda like in limbo now, where the head and the heart do not fit, where i am feeling unstable, and sprouting nonsense. sorry corrie.
ok that's that.
basically, over the weekend i got to go and actually SEE esplanade's backstage. i went ON the stage and saw how everything worked from behind. and with gaping mouth and bulging eyes, i was left in a state of complete wonder. it was then i realised, this is a dream. this is what i WANT to do. i want to be part of the action, i want to run the show. i don't wanna be in it, but i wanna run it. from behind, giving each cue, each direction, every little detail. i dont want it to stay a dream. oh let it be reality.
as the backstage tour continued, i was just left in utter, total amazement. everything is so precise, and so neat, so on the ball. NOTHING was out of place. even right down to the smallest smallest prop, it ALL has a place. i was reminded of the way a team works. the way creative arts ministry works in a way. how, everyone, no matter how small a role he/she plays, is important and has his/her own place. ok i am just rambling, but i remembered how important every person is. and i told myself, i shall not neglect anyone.
but that's besides the point.
all i know is, if there is a Dim Sum Dollies next year, (or ANY production for that matter) i want to work on it. even if i have to make coffee, sweep the floor, clean the toilet; i WILL DO IT. if this is how i start out, then i will do it. if you're a theatre professional reading this now, please please please please let me do this next year!!!!
and in the midst of all the studying and wanting to die, i'm spurred on by a dream, to work in production in the future. and of course, that means doing technical theatre arts. i am considering the Tisch School of Arts in NYU :) they have a degree program in Design for Stage and film. which is not quite what i want to do, but there's always Lasalle. :) hehe :) so many prospects, so near, yet so bloody far away.
oh man. let my dreams become reality.
wake me up when september comes.
