P E R S P E C T I V ES

i really should be studying for collections tomorrow, but my mind wouldn't keep still! aaaaaaaargh.

all that is racing in my head now are the tech runs, the rehearsals the rehearsals the rehearsals the rehearsals the rehearsals!!! i am in this full dance-y mode when term is about to start, when i am suppposed to think about organelles and essays and practicals! and the collections, the collections tomorrow and on sunday.

i am really excited about Perspectives-- i don't recall such great anticipation for Elemental last year. maybe it's because the items that i am in this year have more personal touch to them. one demands emotional protrayal, the other sees the development of trust and friendship with another person. and have i mentioned that kaier, the choreographer of the dance that nicole and i are sharing, will be flying in from stockholm to watch the show?!

the show this year has an interesting concept-- it's about expression of experiences and memories (see below), so it indeed can be rather personal for all those involved. but the production team this year seems, erm, to be facing quite a lot of hiccups along the way. no posters, no postcards or any form of publicity has been seen around camb yet, when the show is less than a week away. hopefully the show will turn out fine. last year's was a sell-out, so this year's will have high standards to beat.

then again, i am always surprised by how well people here can work in the very last minute.

anyway, here's my little part in publicising the show; it will be great if you can come and support =)

Presenting to you the annual CUCDW production:


PERSPECTIVES

"In memory everything seems to happen to music" - Tennessee Williams

Do your memories define you and your experiences? How much can you trust what you remember? How do the past, present and future linktogether?

Perspectives is an exploration and expression of the themes of time and memory through contemporary dance, defining them in a beautiful and engaging sensory spectacle. Drawn into each Perspective, the audience will be woven into the fabric of time with each inspiring movement of electric live dance. From the timeless aesthetic of classical ballet to the current pulsing beat of Hip-hop, Perspectives is a dynamic production gripping the audience in the powerful rhythm of its performance and vibrant intensity of its memory.

Let us transport you to a different time and place where you can embrace the contemporary heat of Cambridge dance glimpsing into the future and forming memories that will last a life time.
