since i joined the troupe in 2007, this was my first time watching nuscd's dance production, which means to say that this was my first time accompanying darling to watch nuscd's production, and it also means that since 2007 until 2013, i have been dancing in every single dance production.
i have been dancing for nuscd for 7 years! now is really a good time to take a break, watch the performance, and reflect on the memories i had with nuscd for the past 7 years.
'Timeless Love' is based on 3 types of love: family love, romantic love and friendship love.
for the family love segment, i totally applaud jingying's role as the granny. she has to bend her back most of the time in order to portray the granny's role, and still dance like a 25 year old dancer (i hope i got her age correct).
the briefcase dance used epic music which i will really enjoy dancing to, but the steps were a bit simple, and i feel sorry for the male dancers. i think they could stretch themselves further with more complex dance steps.
the pdd for romantic love was breathtaking. their chemistry was flawless, the lifts were awesome and... very Michael. hahahaha. throughout my 7 years of dance journey with nuscd and working with different choreographers, i can declare that Michael's lifts are always the most complex which requires alot of physical strength (laval lifting huishi, myself lifting jingwen, hw lifting grace) and cognitive processes (must think through in our mind how to do the lifts effortlessly and also without letting our partners feel uncomfortable).
as for the wedding dance. OMG. only xuehong can pull it off totally. getting any of the other guys (including yours truly) will be pretty awkward. hahahahahaha. zhunian looked stunning in the bright red costume and golden bling bling crown, and her smile is always so radiant.
and finally for the friendship segment, i have to say that i love this segment the most. the four ladies coming out in yellow, pink, blue and green reminds me of my workplace's house system. hahahahaha. but they also triggered my memories of dancing for xuehong's 家人子 item in Efflorescence 2011. i love the shoe binding concept which was portrayed strongly by the 4 ladies who were dancing with the red cloth. the lines they executed were beautiful. i love the lanterns as well as the white fans. all the props make the items look visually stunning. and i am surprised to see nicolette do demure dance with the orange handkerchief. because according to my impression she is always super chor lor, for example in 黄河's last pose she will always arrive beside me unglamly with a loud bang on her knee. :p
THE FINALE. OMG THE FINALE. like what nzj mentioned, the transition from the last item to the finale was so SEAMLESS. i was captivated. i was in awe. of course it was xuehong who arranged the finale. kudos to him!
ok so that's my review. it has been a good 7 years. i really learnt alot, and applied what i learnt at the workplace. honestly speaking, without nuscd, without working with 丁老师，周老师，so many remarkable dancers and choreographers, i wouldnt have so much experience to share with my kids at the workplace.
i really treasure all these memories and strong friendships. it has been a timeless love for me and the pple of nuscd.
