U.N.I 2011 - Choreography evaluation & Self-Reflection (PART II)

Now let's move on to PartII. Internal evaluation of the whole exp in U.N.I.
Honestly, wat m i doing all these for? Yes, i know e ans but then e issue is here. Who's there to receive wat I wish to give out? Sometimes its just 吃力不讨好.

Your Wedding is an item to my liking. But with it, it also brought abt some issues. Duh, =.= whats new? Which performing item didnt give me issue anw? Now I really gotta re-emphasize again, How much I really 敬佩 Lao Shi.

Its easy for certain ppl to come up with items n just talk cock all the while, n leech into ppl's productions. But honestly, having done AHA since 2007 till now n U.N.I 2011, I learnt tt having a BLAST in a concert ain't the most successful story. The MOST DIFF thing is CONTINUITY & SUSTAINABILITY. Link this to Soccer. Chelsea had some good seasons, but the one tt really sustained is Man U. N in this aspect, Im like Mgr of Arsenal, I always look out for unpolished diamonds, try to bring them in n groom them, but honestly I may not (may only, not definitely not) match up to those ppl who bring in established dancers into their items. Im happy with what Im doing, I like seeing ppl grown & improve. Tt's really a purpose in Life n more meaning in the item rather than just *COUGHING up an item to present.

Mr Low, my Lao Shi has sustained his SYF awards for the past 20 yrs n its how he managed to groom the students. Many students of the established schs may be MUCH better than his students, but truth be told, most of them gave up dancing later part of their life / they just cluster into a small cluster.

IMO, If u r a chef, n u r given v v v good ingredients to start with, it doesn't deserve as much applause as e chef who is given medicore ingredients yet able to whip up a dish tt's as good as yours.

At the end of the day, Its the CONTINUITY & SUSTAINABILITY tt really determines. Its a reminder to me, nv be contented with just a BLAST in 1 concert, showing tt I can sustain in the LR is definitely more impt. 虚怀若谷


I didnt comment on my own Choreo for the whole of this post is becos, I dun really know how to start. I dun really know HOW well I could haf re-coooked the dish to make it better given the ingredients I haf. I believed in terms of optimising the ingredients, Lao Shi would have done a better job than me.

Now the qtn lies: Did my Dancers LEARN things from me? Did they improve? Similarly to as a Choreographer, my work is subjected to the comments / decision by audience, My role as an Instructor is also subjected to the decision by my dancers, only they will know whether they learnt anything or not.... Im not in e position to comment....

At the end of this item, instead of the usual critiques, I only wish to thank my dancers/ Actors; its becos of u all, tt's y I cld stage this item... To me, being able to stage this item is then the most impt fruit I have reaped in this whole exp. THANK U V MUCH, MICHELLE TAN. Girl, your acceptance of the role as Female lead really meant alot to me (otherwise I wld haf to re-choreo everything with an imaginery fig).... So did the Ring.... =)

Your Wedding 你的婚礼
Dedicated to you...
On your Wedding Day...
You moved on, and I'm still Waiting...

Ever wonder what it feels like when u have to attend a wedding as the best man n even play the Wedding March for e couple when the one getting married is e Love of ur Life?




See you in your Wedding Dress......
