the company paid us quite a bit of money for the items, hence very high standards are expected from us. so high the standard is that our costumes cannot even have a single wrinkle or uneven line. my winter shirt was the most crumpled, because i din iron it at home. ok lah that serves me right. so i spent lots of time doing last minute ironing in our waiting room, which made me quite fed up. and then sway sway my beyond costume also very crumpled, while fen's and nzj's costume were still ok. so i also ironed that.
i agree that professionalism is important for performers, be it our performance on stage, and the backstage preparations (eg costumes and make-up).
but this type of high standard is a bit too much for me to take. hence i will nv perform for corporate functions anymore.
if there is a takeaway from this performance, it is not the yummy fried rice and fried noodles by the restaurant chefs. it is not the pretty ladies wearing qi pao. it is not the irritating audience who keep laughing throughout our performance, when i was supposed to be angry and pms-ing during winter. it is not the nice audience who said "wah 很厉害很厉害" when i lifted chio outdoor enthusiast. the takeaway is THE IMMENSE IRONING that i did, which the time that i spent on ironing is definitely more than the time that i danced on stage. hence no more performing for corporate functions. unless they dun mind crumpled costumes. haha.
the stage that we danced at was very very small, so small that we could injure ourselves easily by the umbrellas, fans, flying arms and flying legs. we could also injure ourselves by hitting the piano and drum set and other props that are directly behind us. this was a very dangerous performance.
