I just finished directing a drama mime production that last for 2 weeks, we only had 5 rehearsals. I would have to agree that it was a tough challenge to me as this was my first mime production. Normal theatre drama, and mime are all different. I’m a noob in this, i did research, killed my brain cells by thinking how to protray the routinary lives in people and that, finds something missing that only their Maker can fills and satisfies. From what i can remember, this experience is also one of the few that mostly, i was on my own. Thinking of the storyline, rehearsals, props, music, lights and all. Thank God for dennis. At least he came to rescue me in some ways. After my Genting trip, seriously, i was really really scared that we may not “make it” as we’re way behind time and all.
You know what? It’s so easy to be consumed by all the thoughts of our own and be in our own world. Trying to fix things and do your best in thinking how to get everything moving on your own. BUT we missed out something…
On our full dress rehearsal, (i think florence could tell) i was going to burst. We only had that time 7-7.45pm to integrate everything together. MM, lights, sound, actors, props. It was a messy situation. My actors were late, i couldn’t find white face paint, actors can’t flip the boards properly. OMGGGG! However, there’s a voice that came by and said “it’s all for me”. It was then, that i told God, ya! It’s for you and your people. We do what we can, and You do what we can’t. I was stressed about the technicalities (cos i’m a perfectionist), but at ease within cos i know the ultimate hero is and will rescue me. And you know what? He did. I wouldn’t say that it was a perfect performance, but i would say that it was another experience i have with God that shows His grace and mercy is more than sufficient for me.
Yesterday’s ULM was great. Marcus mentioned that worship is not about singing to God nicely and to make sure you don’t go off tune. But worship is about singing your heart sincerely to God. I did.” You’re beautiful to me, You’ll be my song for all eternity, You’re overtaking every part of me. You’re beautiful to me.” Is God overtaking you or someone/ something else? I was a victim of that once.

I went to watch a play with a bunch of weird *company of people* and that includes, Gwen, JLoh and Matthias. It’s just so weird till the extent that when Matthias’s sheep called him and asked him who was he with, he find the above combination of people weird. HAHAHA.
Defending the caveman
After the sold out March run, we are delighted to bring back this hilarious solo Broadway comedy.
Defending the Caveman is a hilarious play about the ways men and women relate to each other. It mines the common themes in relationships that go straight through the funny bone.
Defending the Caveman will have both sexes roaring with laughter and recognition, affectionately nudging each other as they recognise themselves in the stories being told on the stage.
Caveman makes us laugh at ourselves about all the ways men and women fight, laugh and love. Couples all around the world have already fallen in love with Defending the Caveman and you will too.
This is a play which you can drag either your pals or your partner to and they will actually enjoy it!
Starring Daniel Jenkins (ST Life! Theatre Awards 2008 nominee for Best Actor) and directed by Tracie Pang (ST Life! Theatre Awards 2008 nominee for Best Director).
If you really have the money, you should invest to watch this play. It’s freaking good. If you’re looking for an activity to unwhine yourself or to have a good laugh in the midst of endless work, not just that, but you seriously want to know and be exposed to the differences between gals and guys in an interesting way, you should go for it.
What i learnt? Men are cavemen, women are gatherers. HAHAHAHAHHA.
