when i first heard about this showcase, i have my reservations. firstly, it will affect their preparations. to have a showcase, i need to coordinate a rehearsal. and the rehearsal is on a CCA day when CCA hours are very precious.
but it is ok, i am still a newbie at the workplace so i shall just adhere to the practises here. therefore besides the assembly programme being a showcase, i also use it to share with the whole school my performing arts journey, and to give tips to the syf performers on how to put up their best performance on stage, and finally to broadcast to the whole school when are their presentation dates and get the whole school to give the syf performers a rousing applause as an encouragement for their syf preparations (that is the primary rationale why this showcase is happening).
my trademark tagline. effort, energy, expressions!
today it was a very happening morning. first of all there is ADSS Cup, a football tournament organised for the students. and the criteria for the students to participate is that they must not have any demerit points and they must pass their common test. i think this is a good initiative, because it motivates everyone to behave well in order for them to participate in this. i helped to source for the referees as well as plan out the fixtures.
and so happened on this same day, is SYF exchange at another school in the north. the dance instructor at that school is peter teo, and he jio-ed me. of course i agreed to it, because my dance girls need the exposure, to see how are the dance clubs from the other schools. there were 10 schools in total, and i am very happy to catch up with people like peter, chze siang, kenneth, elizabeth and huifen. dance is really an amazing platform to make friends. it was a good learning experience for my dancers and it was an eye opening experience for me to see the works from my dance choreographer friends. too bad xuehong is performing at GBTB today and i can't catch up with him.
ADSS Cup group shot! thank god for lovely weather this morning. it is raining now in the afternoon. :p
i think my dancers did very well today. it is their best performance so far. of course they can do even better. thank you to all the instructors for their feedback. :)
i really enjoy syf. it excites me. although i can't say the same for my dancers, as well as my friends who are the choreographers. hahahahaha.
