Worship.... Drama..... Abstract Mime.....Dance
Really such an enjoyable day. Though very tired and most of the time couldn't really concentrate. After church 2nd svc, went for a Worship Symposium at erh Church of the Accesion. Is it? Can't remember. So it was worship first led by Clement Chow. (he was the composer for Count on me Singapore) He was on accoustic guitar with a saxaphonist player. Led in 2 songs. Majesty and Here I am to worship. The chords he played is quite interesting, different from the usual chords. Pretty creative but there were certain points the unusual chords didnt' fit in. So was like one moment feeling very refreshed by the new style den the other moment feeling distracted becoz it just didn't fit. haha. Afterwhich was a devotion by Rev Canon James Wong. Wow! His sharing really meaty. So much things and so much reference. I was having a hard time finding my way thru the 'fatty meats'. After the devotion, we broke into our clinics. I had signed up for Performing Acts. hehe! I would have loved to sign up for Guitar or Bass but I tot I wanted something different from the usual. I like performing arts though I have not done any. So why not? Something new for a change. Only 4 guys and about 10-12 ladies. Haha! Today's clinic was on Mime. The teacher is Dawn. She graduated from some Art Sch. So for the first half, she was giving a whole load of introduction. Really interesting but catch no ball. haha! But one thing I found out was tat Mime is not always a silent play. A silent play is a form of Mime. haha! I nvr knew that. After introduction, she got us to do some warmup which was near to distorting our body. Thankfully i'm still pretty sporty and flexible. There was this move where you lie on your back and with both leg straighten, move it towards your head and touch the ground with your toes. Haha! I was able to do it last time when I was still learning TaeKwanDo. And guess what? i still can do. Did it for 4 times and den kena leg cramp. haha! So after the warm up, she demonstrated some footwork. Very interesting. We all get to try out and to be frank it wasn't easy and require a lot of focus and effort. So after a while everybody start to feel the strain. Den the last 1o minute, she did a Mime for us. (she is into abstract Mime) So was very good. I was so engrossed into her passion and acting. That's the kind of art of looking for. Abstract art. It's all about feeling and being part of the play. I really enjoy it. As I ponder, how i wish I could go and explore this area of art? It is so fun, it's so satisfying, it's so aspiring, it's so enjoyable, it's so exciting, it's so full of surprises. I dun know how to express my feelings. It's something i tot i can use for the works of God, to spread His message, His love. Haha! Well! maybe if i was much younger, much thinner and have the support, I would have moved into this area. Well! I guess not. But I dun think I will end my dream here. I can't be a dancer, an actor, a mimer, but I can be one who inspire others to achieve such goals and even be involved in realising such arts and bring it into the world. Yes! Yes! That will be so beautiful. Performing for the Lord!
