It's been raining since u left me
终于完成了这个作品！虽然作品出来了，但过程实在痛苦，特别是这部作品。这部作品依旧让所有读者自己诠释以及解读，但我特别想要提到的是为什么会有这部作品。为何过程又如此痛苦？读者们绝对有自由诠释我到底要表达什么，不过为了以后让我自己回想起这部作品的灵感，请容许我将作品来源写出来。
这部作品我要表达的是“既悲且无力”。其灵感来自我现在的生活。现实社会的资本主义、现实主义、金钱衡量成就的系统让我透不过气。在无可奈何、垂死挣扎、无助的痛苦情形下，这部作品有了主题，但仍未成形。之后，我觉得长篇大论地讨论人生大道理过于俗气，因此为作品抹上一层糖衣，将其布置成一个爱情故事/ 音乐录影。若读者们仔细揣摩，能够发现作品的各种比喻可以与现实生活挂钩。
但此话到此为止，因为我认为将我呕心沥血的文学作品与现实生活挂钩其实是一件非常没有美感的事。若不是被逼至临界点，我不愿这么做；实在有欠美感，甚至玷污了我自己。=(
我还是欢迎且恳请各位以自己的角度去观赏这部作品，也欢迎你们留下观后感。

It's been raining since u left me
天空一片白茫茫，寒气透骨的风阵阵吹过，一滴雨水从天而落，滴落在我身上，随着手臂缓缓流下，这时一股冰冷彻骨的感觉随即涌上心头，流遍全身。。。心灵深处的创伤隐隐作痛，我缓缓而行，在这永无止境的路上走着、走着、走着。。。
感觉到有什么东西一直在折腾我，却仿佛什么也没有。空荡荡的躯壳一路走着，意识中所有美好的回忆渐渐地随着雨滴从我的身上流逝，残留下来的只有那没有灵魂的躯壳和这无法复元的伤。冰冷的雨倾盆而下，淋湿了我的身躯，似乎试图将那些快乐与悲伤的日子尽数洗去。视觉的记忆最容易被遗忘，记忆中的画面将会随着时间的蹉跎而变得模糊不清。从今而起，我或许再也没有机会倾听你的声音，聆听你的心事。。。
我不愿记忆离我而去，不愿失去所有与你有关的一切！！！I don't wanna lose you now! 那熟悉的味道，那柔情似水的双眼，那双温柔、柔软如绵的巧手，都将逐渐从脑海中褪去，我不愿如此，无奈记忆却对我无情。心伤，心碎，即使心恨，都无可奈何，只因我无力挣扎于现实中。现实的洪流就像这场大雨，无情地捶打着我，无论我怎么挣扎，都无法躲避被袭卷的命运。。。
早已疲惫不堪的身躯，在雨中飘荡，我的心在淌着血。血红的心仿佛在燃烧着，一直燃烧，直至它变成黯然的死灰色；仿佛火焰已燃烧殆尽。心，依然还在跳动，眼睛依然可看到七彩彩虹，鼻子依然可嗅到白玫瑰的花香，耳边依然可听到连绵不断的雨滴声，但生命已无声无息地终结了。失去原动力，在人海茫茫的都市里荡漾着，犹如白云在这白茫茫的天空中漫无目的地飘着。。。
白茫茫的天空看起来朦朦胧胧，仿佛前头已无路，雨仍然下着。时间会随着雨水一起流逝，一切都会焕然一新，每样事物都会演奏起新的生命之曲，死亡的旋律也逐渐会被遗忘。当忘却的旋律不再响起，当雨水不再倾盆而下，当辽阔的天空划上了七彩彩虹，当生命旅途翻开了一个新的篇章，我的心却还。。。。。。

'Cursive' by Cloud Gate Dance Theatre Part II
I believe there is really much more to learn about Dance & Performance. The interesting thing in the sharing session with Mr Lin is tt i get to see the ugly side of Singaporeans. Tt day's audience are ppl largely from the Dance arena, Education arena & Drama arena. Many Singaporeans perhaps wish to display their sophistication as arts consumers, so during the session, instead of Q&A, many ended up giving their comments & critics on Cursive.
Hey, this is extremely shameful, esp when the comments turned out to be very superficial. One of those Eg. "Mr Lin, I feel tt Cursive is a good perf but i find the black costumes too plain, I think U SHOULD add some colors to ur costumes." Wah pls leh, the idea came from the Dance Choreographer himself, he definitely has his reasons for designing his costumes in black only. Ever seen Chinese Caligraphy in colored ink? Pls lah, understand the intentions behind the dance piece b4 u comment. Next, even though dance is open to interpretation, pls phrase ur questions/comments in a better way, Its rude to dictate the Choreographer what he SHOULD/ SHOULD NOT do...
Another eg. "I think this production is very similar to Water Moon, haf u reached a bottleneck in ur Ling Gan? I haf watched many perf by Cloud Gate, i realize e dance pieces r getting more & more similar." Wah piang, pls be more courteous can? Every single production is unique, even if u think its similar, dun shoot it straight to the Choreographer lah, so rude, act as if u very sophisticated. Music diff, costume diff, dance theme diff, everything oso diff, Even if movements a little similar, Internal Feelings of the dancers may be diff as well, How can u juz judge on the surface? Wah piang, e shameful issue is the attitude of trying to act 'sophisticated' but end up giving superficial comments.... =(
Sigh, Singaporeans huh.... =(

'Cursive' by Cloud Gate Dance Theatre Part I
Time is 3rd Feb, finished watching the perf 'Cursive' by Cloud Gate Dance Theatre at Esplanade. Learnt alot from this performance, shall not dwell on the dance piece, in fact shall blog down some interesting Comments by Mr Lin Huai-Min so as for my future references.
Comments:
1) I didn't come up with any idea for Cursive, everything is open to interpretation by audience"
2) Dance is open to any form of interpretation. There is no Ling Gan to start off with, It started with Adhoc techniques, after which we refine the movements into dance steps"
3) I choreograph simply becos I need a platform for my dancers to perform. The end result of the perf is not impt, the process of choreographing is where the joy lies."
4) Dunno what lies in the future for Cloud Gate, just proceed with every single day; the joy & passion is in uncovering something new & unknown everyday"
5) Evolution is a process tt a dance piece will go thru, thus the existence of the trilogy Cursive, CursiveII & Wild Cursive"
Many much more comments made by him, but these few are the ones i wish to record down. Link point 5) with 3), therefore, should understand tt there is no perfect dance piece in this world. Every single piece of dance goes thru evolution, thereby the process should be more enjoyable than the end product becos the end product will simply evolve into another product. The process is where the growing exists.
What is mentioned by Mr Lin is actually v similar to what was taught by Jeff Tan. Performing, is/should be open to interpretation. Process > End Product, Learn to respect & appreciate products put up by others, crucial point is whether the idea is solid & actualized, performers got perf with their heart & soul.
