Rehearsals For Ismail

Memories, Performing Arts, Rehearsals, Shows 18 May 2008 | Comments

Ok Ok… I have been terribly lazy on updating with the . So now I’m going to write about it. ^_^

It’s currently a BLAST right now. It’s so much fun, even though it’s been rather physical for the past 6 rehearsal dates. The first day of Ismail’s rehearsals was a reading, where everyone just sat around and went through the script once, so that we understood what the show was about. We aren’t suppose to be looking at what the message we are suppose to convey until I think the following week, which would mean only in rehearsal day number 4 we actually discuss about the script. Discussion for the script is for us all (The ensemble mostly) to find a common ground and see if we all feel the same way about the text, about the man Ismail.

Ismail the man that we are presenting, is about Tunku Dr Ismail – which unfortunately most of us only know as Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI) the one near One Utama. The story revolves around his life as not a politician but rather a man who in my opinion had a mountain of things to consider at that period. This was after all during the time that Malaysia had just received her independence and after the horrendous event of May 13 – a time which not many Malaysians would not like to go back to or even remember. The play is very compelling and quite timely with the end of our elections and the countries new results.

Anyways that on the side. Rehearsals Day 2,3,4,5 and 6 have been all about movement. After day 2 it was wonderful pain on the thighs… and I just realised that the ache i had for the past week is now gone! Yay! Back to normal, which means.. i can go and torture my muscles again. ^_^

Me stretching it out.

Me trying to focus on the pain that is to come soon.

Min Li and I cracking up.. over something which I completely forgot. Lol. All the pictures from the rehearsal are courtesy of dear Nick Dorian. ^_^

We are in pain.. all except for izham who still seems to be smiling.. sheesh :P

Like I said pain in the thighs, led to me stretching my mouth like so to hide the ache. Bah!

Day 5 was fun and here are the perks when you have stuff going on in KLPAC. Complimentary tickets to watch stage shows! We had warm ups for about an hour on Day 5, then Faridah gave us a surprise of distributing tickets to watch ‘Good People’. Whoopee!! Now for some pictures for us just before the show hehe.

Ticks for the show.

Nick, Aris Kadir (Ismail’s Dance Choreographer), Min Li, Lax (Ismail’s Dance Captain) and Me.

You know how one hates being left out from a funny pic? Well i decided to be too smart. Me and Min Li were suppose to do a funny face, but I kinda felt it’ll be funnier to make sure she was making one hehe. And the dude in the middle is Dean.. Poor fell was stuck in between to nutcases haha.

Me, Min Li and Lee Ching. Lee Ching is one seriously cute gurl. This girl has Tourette and while some may think this is a disorder but really i think it has made this girl really even more adorable in our company. :) Read about her on her blog here.

I just love this picture. It’s so kewt! Nicole Ann Thomas, Min Li and Me. Standing in front of Pentas 2 entrance before the show started. Yeah we are all in our rehearsal workout clothes. Hahha.

I love doing what I do ^_^
